Louisiana Son Of A Beast

(John D. Anderson, Bill Emerson, Jody Emerson) A transcendent intro sets up wild and woolly slice of life, swamp people style, with John Anderson personality and charisma to spare.

The intro came from us guys, just us talking, ‘let’s try it and see if it’ll work.’ It worked.

That’s Chad Cromwell playing the drums, it’s almost like a Tyrannosaurus walking through the woods, knockin’ trees over. I’d give most of the credit on this song to Bill and Jody Emerson, two of my songwriting mentors. They had the song pretty well written, they’re great songwriters and two of my teachers.
