With his remarkable new collection, Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th St., Swamp Dogg adds yet another chapter to his endlessly surprising career, celebrating the sounds he grew up on in 1940s Virginia while at the same time shining a spotlight on bluegrass music’s deep African American roots. Produced by Ryan Olson and recorded with an all-star band including Noam Pikelny, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Chris Scruggs, Billy Contreras, and Kenny Vaughan, the collection is a riotous blend of past and present, one that filers the sacred and profane through a progressive Appalachian lens that nods to tradition without ever being bound by it. Special guests like Margo Price, Vernon Reid, Jenny Lewis, Justin Vernon, and The Cactus Blossoms all add to the excitement, but it’s ultimately the 81-year-old Swamp Dogg’s delivery—sly and playful and full of genuine joy and ache—that steals the show. The result is a record that’s as reverent as it is raunchy, a work that challenges conventional notions of genre and race as it combines lust and heartbreak, pain and ecstasy, revolution and ridiculousness the way only Swamp Dogg can. #SwampDogg #MessUnderThatDress #Blackgrass
