Ben "Swamp Donkey" Brenner: Low Side of the Road, Arkansas; Down on the corner, Ben “Swamp Donkey” Brenner slings his National guitar, sliding notes off into the wild American night. Born on the low side of the road, the Donkey and his guitar Bessie will take you from Natchez to Memphis, Dylan to Delta, King Cotton to King Biscuit, LA to Lower Arkansas. Shaped by Charlie Patton and Elmore James and R.L. Burnside, this is the music of bluesabilly kings and tonkeyhonk queens. So find that flat top juke. Get that drummer a bottle and bring him round. Red dress, bare back, come on mama: shake it! Give the Donkey your blues. He’ll tote the load.
