Greg McHam (lead vocals and guitar) is a mix of Ronnie Van Zant and Warren Haynes with a little touch of Dio while being versed in early 70’s southern rock drawing form the local lore of the I-20 corridor. “But then again, my brother, Leif’s (lead guitars) influences are Allen Collins, Charlie Starr,and Zakk Wyld. Though the four members of Louisiana Swamp Donky draw from a deep well of musical influences ranging from ZZ Top to Willie Nelson, their Southern Rock has “a ton of Country backbone.” “We love Merle Haggard and Hank Williams,” Shively continues. We were shocked when he called and told us he’d be interested in producing our record.” Young brought Louisiana Swamp Donky to his hometown of Edmonton, Kentucky, and the results are foot-stomping, Southern-fried Rockin’ country. “We took a chance and sent some music to Richard, really just to see if he would even give it a listen. “They sing about the blue-collar lives they live there in rural Louisiana, but their appeal goes well beyond the backwoods and mud holes of Haynesville, Louisiana.” “We wanted to write music that people could relate to,” Shively says. “These boys are the real deal,” says Young, who produced their forthcoming new album, Redneck Revival, along with engineer / buddy David Barrick. Earlier this year, their authentic Southern Rock concoction caught the ears of famed Southern Rock icon Richard Young of the Kentucky HeadHunters.
