Ben Greenman & Swamp Dogg Author Ben Greenman and musician Swamp Dogg tell Kurt about their unlikely collaboration by Kurt Andersen


Greenman's new book "Please Step Back" looks like a biography of a 1970s soul and funk legend, Rock Foxx. Except Foxx is imaginary. Greenman wanted to release one of his fictional hero's songs, so he teamed up with a real-life legend -- Swamp Dogg. Greenman and Swamp Dogg met in the studio for the first time to tell Kurt about their unlikely collaboration.
