LIGHTNIN SLIM - High and Low Down(Great 70s blues prod by SWAMP DOGG) CD

Produced by legendary soul singer / songwriter / producer Jerry Williams Jr., aka Swamp Dogg. CD includes Swamp Dogg's hilarious recollection on tracking down B.B. King 43 years ago for the above liner notes, along with his own take on Lightnin' Slim (These liners are included as a flier with the LP )

SWAMP DOGG SAYS: I've produced and written for some great artists in my life and Lightning Slim is in my top ten. He didn't have to be coddled, nursed, etc. He learned the songs and got down to business. He only gave me three days to record him because he wanted to get back to Pontiac, Michigan to get back to his job at a lock factory. This album is as good as most blues albums and better than most. It has the Muscle Shoals, Alabama A-team rhythm section and the horn section that David Johnson (owner / engineer of Broadway Sound) and I assembled, which later became the Muscle Shoals horns. I'll speculate that if Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, George Benson, Albert King and Freddy King ever heard this blues album, they would rate Lightning's great delivery, song writing and innovative swamp guitar style in their top ten of authentic blues men. _ Swamp Dogg
