Swamp Dogg is an American soul musician born on July 12, 1942 in Portsmouth, Virginia. With a career spanning over six decades, he has become a revered figure in the world of soul music. Known for his unique blend of R&B, funk, and country influences, Swamp Dogg's music is characterized by his powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics.

Influenced by artists such as *James Carr*, *O.V. Wright*, and *Doris Duke*, Swamp Dogg has carved out his own distinct sound that sets him apart from his contemporaries. His soulful performances have captivated audiences around the world, earning him a dedicated fan base.

With a discography that includes hits like "Total Destruction to Your Mind" and "Rat On!", Swamp Dogg continues to push boundaries and challenge musical norms. His collaborations with renowned musicians such as *Clarence Carter* and *Allen Toussaint* have further solidified his status as a true icon of soul music.

Brand new album by the legendary Swamp Dogg. In 1954, 12 year old Jerry Williams, then performing under the name Little Jerry Williams, made his first recording for Mechanic Records, a blues stomp with a shockingly mature vocal performance - Through the 60"s Williams' career developed with a number of successful singles, including 'I'm the Lover Man' and 'Baby You're My Everything', as well as writing and producing hits for Dee Dee Warwick, Doris Duke, and Patti LaBelle and the Blue Belles.

50 years after Total Destruction introduced Swamp Dogg to an unprepared world, and nearly 70 since Little Jerry Williams went into the studio for Mechanic, Williams brings us I Need A Job' So I Can Buy More Autotune. A spiritual successor to 2018's hit Love, Loss and Autotune, this album continues to push Swamp's sonic exploration of the effect as one of his many creative weapons.

The new album neatly balances sleek modern production techniques with that classic Dogg sound that has anchored William's music since the 70s. Subtle yet soulful drumming, skin-tight horn grooves and meandering funk guitar leads create a sonic landscape fitting Swamp Dogg's iconic croon, occasionally drenched in the titular autotune. 

At 78, Swamp Dogg is as sharp of a singer and songwriter as ever. His raunchy yet charismatic sense of humour takes a more forward role on I Need a Job... So I Can Buy More Autotune, with earnestly delivered lyrics about all day sex and an entire song dedicated to the perils of 'Cheating In The Daylight.'
