  Bayou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bayous are usually located in low-lying areas, for example in the Mississippi River delta region of the southern United States.
The first settlements of Acadians in southern Louisiana were near Bayou Lafourche and Bayou des Ecores which led to a close association of the bayou with Cajun culture.
Bayou Country is most closely associated with Cajun (Acadian French) and Creole (mixed French, African, and Indian) cultural groups native to the Gulf Coast region generally stretching from Houston, Texas to Mobile, Alabama with its center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

 washingtonpost.com: Style Live: Travel
"Bayou" is a Choctaw Indian word meaning sluggish, slow-moving stream, and this one, Bayou Lafourche, is maybe 200 feet wide and 10 feet deep, situated about an hour and a half southwest of New Orleans.
People this far down the bayou don't dare keep family photographs or other irreplaceables in their homes, stashing them instead with relatives on higher ground, away from the next, inevitable, disastrous hurricane tide.
Traveling in the bayou country atop boat decks has changed all that for me. It's changed me. It's allowed me to be closer – in every imaginable way – to the Cajun people through whose world I've journeyed, and in the process, I've come to care deeply about them and their land.

 If You Could See Just 10 Places in America, Mt. Katahdin, Maine, Arches National Park, The Badlands, Bayou Country ...
The fact is, though, this country holds an immense variety of natural wonders, and even some of the best-known ones aren't crowded at all-at least, not once you get out of the car and hike a mile or so away from the road.
As wet as the Badlands are dry, the Bayou country of Southeastern Louisiana is unlike the rest of the U.S. in so many ways, it will broaden your ideas about the country you live in.
Bayou Lafourche, also known as "the longest 'street' in the world," connects many of the towns in this area, including Thibodaux, the "Gateway to Bayou Country." And then there's the local culture: the delightfully spicy food, the spicy language, and the infectiously lively Cajun music and dancing.

Opening slowly with the dark, swampy "Born on the Bayou," Bayou Country reveals an assured Creedence Clearwater Revival, a band that has found its voice between their first and second album.
At the heart of Bayou Country, as well as Fogerty's myth and Creedence's entire career, is "Proud Mary." A riverboat tale where the narrator leaves a good job in the city for a life rolling down the river, the song is filled with details that ring so true that it feels autobiographical.
"Born on the Bayou" is a magnificent piece of swamp-rock, "Penthouse Pauper" is a first-rate rocker with the angry undertow apparent on "Porterville" and "Bootleg" is a minor masterpiece, thanks to its tough acoustic foundation, sterling guitar work, and clever story.

 Queer Bayou Country Comments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
'Born On The Bayou' followed Creedence's debut album, and became the first in a string of immaculate, classic and fastly created classic albums, that Creedence unleashed during 1969 and 1970.
The album opens with 'Born On The Bayou', a steady rocker, that, at the same time, is both as familiar as anything Creedence, but also has a great amount of indecipherable strangeness to it, like the kind that would later surface on the 'Pendulum' album in 1970.
Bayou Country is the album where Creedence found it's sound.

 Bayou Farewell
And with Bayou Farewell, he has crafted the first, the best, and certainly the most elegantly written account of Louisiana's tragedy, an endeavor in which he attempts to thrust the problem to national attention, providing an education to readers as well as a window to a unique and imperiled way of life.
In Bayou Farewell, Tidwell's narrative recalls the sheer horror of learning about the tragedy first-hand, while simultaneously immersing the reader in the sights, sounds, smells, and joie de vivre of Cajun culture, as well as the pristine beauty of the delicate natural world in which it is embedded.
The Cajun Bayou culture, grew from the marshes, the swamps, and bayous, creating a people who have lived in isolation, and want mostly to be left alone to live off their land, practice their Catholic faith, drink their wine and beer, eat their great food, and speak their own language.

 Taking a swamp romp in Louisiana's bayou country: 10/21/01
The airboat captains who zoom you around the bayou at 35 mph always take a bag of marshmallows along, to lure the skittish reptiles out of the depths and into your viewfinder.
In the bayou, the captain takes it down to a dull roar as he putters along looking for gators, strewing marshmallows like some demented flower girl.
"Bayou" means slow-moving water, and the Bayou Barataria flows languidly from the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico.

 Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival CD
Released in early 1969, the second album by guitarist/vocalist John Fogerty's Californian quartet is perhaps the definitive example of the group's swampy brew of rock, R&B, and blues.
The key song on BAYOU COUNTRY is "Proud Mary," a rock milestone that still sounds just as fresh and exciting as it did when it first boomed out of AM radios decades ago.
From Fogerty's formidable bluesman's growl on "Born On The Bayou" to the explosive version of Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly," BAYOU COUNTRY is what rootsy rock & roll is all about, and it's one of the best American rock albums of the '60s.

Bayou Country showed the world that Creedence Clearwater Revival was not just another San Fransisco Flower Power Band that would be forgotten a decade later.

 Cajun and Creole Cuisine
Because of the frugal nature needed to survive in the Bayou country, nothing was ever wasted by Cajuns, including all portions of butchered meats, and stocks and vegetables.
This is in contrast to classical French cooking, where it is common to prepare a sauce in a saucepan separate from the main meal, as well as using some vegetable or herb ingredients to flavor the stock only, strained and discarded later.
Bayou St. John was the connector between the River and Lake Ponchartrain, so a lot of supplies to keep the city going came from various places through Lake Ponchartrain down Bayou St. John, which was an income producing property.

 Creedence Clearwater Revival Bayou Country   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Bayou Country is the CCR record that slips under the radar.
The group's 1969 sophomore release birthed two classic-rock staples--"Born on the Bayou" and "Proud Mary." Then there's the characteristically savvy cover ("Good Golly Miss Molly"), the stretch-out jams ("Graveyard Train" and "Keep on Chooglin"), and a couple of seldom-remarked-upon album tracks ("Bootleg" and "Penthouse Pauper").
For a lesser band, it'd be an impressive achievement; for Creedence, Bayou Country is a mere stepping stone to greater heights.
