DUKE,DORIS - A LEGEND IN HER OWN TIME Price: €26.99 Format: LP Availability: Immediate Dispatch

Doris Duke had the good fortune to meet Swamp Dogg at a time when he had a bunch of incredible, mostly self-penned songs at his disposal and needed to place them with a female singer who could impart the right degree of gravitas to their subject matter. The recordings Doris and Swamp made together inMacon,Georgiain 1969 were released as the landmark album “I'm A Loser”. The record seems to have touched the lives of all who heard it and would have probably propelled Doris into the winners circle had her record label Canyon not imploded, just as the album was on the verge of international appreciation. “I'm A Loser” is available onKentin CD and vinyl formats, but it's not the only fine album in Doris' all-too-small discography. This month we're delighted to bring you the other half of her Swamp Dogg sessions, restored to UK vinyl for the first time in 42 years.
