Jerry “Swamp Dogg” Williams performs “Crawdad Hole” at the 2011 Smithsonian Folklife Festival.  A musician, songwriter, & producer since the 1960s, the versatile Williams has written for both R&B & country artists.  Seeking to write about topics other than love & relationships, & wanting to “put some ragged jeans on the song and some sneakers instead of Florsheim shoes,” he adopted the name Swamp Dogg in the 1970s.
