SWAMP PEOPLE – Excuse me, while I take a detour from METAL for just a moment and blab about… SWAMP PEOPLE. This reality show and all of its (real life) characters absolutely kicks ass! I’ve been a fan of this Southern cooked show about alligator hunters since day one. I’m hooked. I watch the repeats and still see stuff I didn’t notice the first (or second) time around!
The main character (or so it seems) is Troy. He’s the dude on the CD cover y’all see at the top of this post. Troy is one legitimate bad ass of the swamps; yet he comes across as a the neighbor I’d want to have around as well. SWAMP PEOPLE aires new shows on Thursday nights, at 10/9c on History (channel). The repeats seem to be on a whenever basis; which is all good by me.
I came across the CD for SWAMP PEOPLE at Walmart this week; it was released on May 21st, via Rounder. I didn’t buy it; still I wanted to showcase it here cause I can! Maybe I’ll get this CD down the road. Why not? This CD isn’t Perry Katy, Dustin Leiber or ABBA for Metal sakes. Metal be thy name.

TROY IS METAL.
“NO GUTS. NO GATOR.”
Stone.
Back in 1980, sometime towards the Fall season, The Charlie Daniels Band released the studio album Full Moon
The lyrics tell the story of Lucius Clay, a greedy old man who would love and care for money more than people. Lucius Clay stored all of his money in mason jars, burying the jars all around his yard. On Summer nights, if the moon was right, Lucius Clay would dig these money filled – mason jars out of the ground. He would empty the jars of money on the floor of his shack and run his greedy fingers through it. Three young men named “the Cable boys” were trouble, they knew of Lucius Clay and all of his money. One night the oldest Cable brother decided he and his two brothers would go down to the Wooley Swamp and get the Lucius Clay money. Well, these brothers did find Lucius Clay, as he was digging up mason jars of money under a full moon. They beat Lucius Clay and threw his body into the swamp, watching as he was sucked down. As these Cable boys tried to run away with the jars of money, they realized they were being dragged down in quicksand themselves. As the Cable boys sunk to their death, they could hear the old man, (Lucius Clay), laugh. As Charlie Daniels relates the spoken word at the end of The Legend of Wooley Swamp – It’s been fifty years ago and you can go by there now. There’s a place in the yard in the back of Lucius Clay’s shack where the ground is forever wet. On summer nights, when the moon is right, down by the dark footpath, you can hear three young men screaming and you can hear one old man laugh.
