Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted
SWAMP DOGG GETS HIS POOL PAINTED is a wildly entertaining and fittingly unconventional documentary about convention-defying singer, songwriter and record producer Jerry Williams, aka 'Swamp Dogg', one of the great cult figures of 20th-century American music whose singular voice and ideas have shaped the history not merely of soul music, but of country, hip-hop and a dozen other genres.
In the film, the titular artist and his "bachelor pad of aging musicians", including the charming Guitar Shorty and lovably quirky Moogstar, navigate the tumultuous music industry, transform their home into an artistic playground and invite fellow musicians like Jenny Lewis, Will Calhoun, and John Prine and superfans Mike Judge, Johnny Knoxville, and Tom Kenny to play in their unique musical sandbox... and paint Swamp Dogg's pool. Bursting with infectious personality and stoner energy, SWAMP DOGG GETS HIS POOL PAINTED is a music documentary unlike any other.
"There are very few artists quite like Swamp Dogg, and Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted is here for it." (Austin Chronicle)
"Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson’s 'Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted' isn’t the sort of “important” documentary that generally wins awards, but it’s a fine example of something even rarer: a documentary that draws its voice and aesthetic from the spirit of its subject, resulting in a tight 97 minutes that feel organic and satisfying and, as befits that subject, appealingly odd." (Hollywood Reporter)
