I am now a published author! My review of R&B artist Swamp Dogg’s great 2024 country album Blackgrass is on the online magazine Barn Raiser. They even paid me for the review: I got a check in the low three figures (to steal a joke from Calvin Trillin). There is a career-spanning Swamp Dogg playlist at the end of the article. Please check it out. I hope this is the first review of many.
