I mean, just listen to that drummer! Fellow by the name of Naoya Numa. Just listen to him kick those beats! He's got that New Orleans 2nd line so easy and so deep in his pocket you'd swear it was halfway down to the molten core! And can he lay down some crisp, funky filigree like he just stepped outta James Brown's tour bus? Aww HELL yeah! Not to mention that low down, gut bucket, chunka-chuggin, bowling ball, steam shovel thud'n'smacking! WOOO boy! You'll wanna buy him another whisky soon as he's off the bandstand!
Then there's that big guy with the big grin, on the big bass fiddle. That's Mr. Keigo Iwami. Lordy mercy, he's got a walloping sound that'll shake your muscles and ligaments in ALL the right ways! Laying down those ready-steady bass lines like they were linoleum. Make you glide across the floor all the way to the liquor store! He's got the fat, round sound that'll send your girl uptown to the lost and found! Pumping and rumbling and never ever stumbling, Keigo is the man to see when you want that earth shaking bottom! Good god!
And then that bespectacled fellow up front? With the one-string guitars and the three-string guitars, and the jaw harps and fruit jars and singin' 'bout freight cars? That's Samm Bennett, friends, Samm from Alabamm, and he's got songs to sing and bells to ring. Stories to tell 'bout death and hair gel. He's got pigs and chickens to squeeze! Squeezed 'em from here to Mobile and Belize! Why, he's liable to jump on a chair, wave his hands in the air and holler a tune about shootin' the moon! He'll make music (or something darn near close) from just about anything you can hand him, and he even works Sundays and holidays. Samm's got a way with words and some say he got away with murder. But those are just rumors, friends. He's all about the song, and he sings it right so you can't go wrong.
So, you put these three gentlemen together onstage and they're gonna cook you up a big, satisfying sonic meal that's bound to please! If your musical tastes run toward that moonlit clearing in the Georgia pines where some wild-eyed fellers are plucking on cigar box guitars and beating on wooden crates, then Swamp Root Jimmies is the band for you. Do you see yourself in some hot sauce-drenched juke joint with a lazy ceiling fan overhead, where the patrons kick in the floorboards to songs about getting evicted by the sheriff? Then you'll love the Swamp Root Jimmies, friend. You'll holler for more! Swamp Root Jimmies! Swamp Root Jimmies! Gimme my SWAMP ROOT JIMMIES!
