	Swamp blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Swamp blues is a form of blues music that is highly evolved and specialized.
		It arose from the Louisiana blues and is known for its laidback rhythms which dominate a music that is simultaneously funky and often lighthearted — for a blues sub-genre.
		Swamp blues is sometimes confused with swamp pop music, which is actually a distinct south Louisiana musical genre — although swamp blues and swamp pop performers often accompanied each other in the studio and on stage.

	CD Baby: SWAMP CABBAGE: Honk - from scottp
		Swamp Cabbage presents truly American music in that the songs paint images of the Southern US areas that inspired them.
		Founded by North Florida native Walter Parks, the Swamp Cabbage fatback electric ragtime sound is a raunchy foot-stompin' tip of the hat to Tom Waits, Billy Gibbons and Dr John.
		Swamp Cabbage is new Southern music - different from, yet in keeping with, the North Mississippi All Stars and Mofro.

		A piano-pounding institution on the southern Louisiana swamp blues scene during the late '50s and early '60s, Katie Webster later grabbed a long-deserved share of national recognition with a series of well-received Alligator albums.
		The acknowledged kingpin of the Louisiana school of blues, Lightnin' Slim's style was built on his grainy but expressive vocals and rudimentary guitar work, with usually nothing more than a harmonica and a drummer in support.
		It was down-home country blues edged two steps further into the mainstream; first by virtue of Lightnin's electric guitar, and secondly by the sound of the local Crowley musicians who backed him being bathed in simmering, pulsating tape echo.

		Swamp blues was still going strong as evidenced by solid records by veterans Lightnin’ Slim, Lonesome Sundown and Slim Harpo’s funky RandB #1, “Baby, Scratch My Back.” Louisiana artists Tabby Thomas, Silas Hogan and Whisperin’ Smith also cut strong records during this period but the end was near.
		The area was a blues hotspot where the crowds were rough and rowdy and if you couldn’t cut it on the bandstand they weren’t shy to let you know.
		No sound in blues is more recognizable than the notes he’s been ringing out of his beloved Lucille for the past half century.

	CD Baby: RUSSELL GULLEY: Back to the Swamp
		All of the songs on the Back to the Swamp CD are either originals or have been chosen for their connection to the Shoals Tradition.
		Several are autobiographical, such as the title track, "Back to the Swamp", along with an acoustical remake of "Piece of Good Earth", the first single released by Jackson Highway on the MSS label in 1977.
		One other title, "The Gospel According to the Blues", is an a cappella performance that deals with intercultural influences as experienced by Russell as a young boy on the streets in his hometown of Fort Payne, Alabama.

	Louisiana Voices Glossary
		In many genres, especially those such as blues and jazz that favor improvisation, vocalists and instrumentalists alike may perform "over the beat." This means that they use the song's established rhythm as a reference point so that they can toy with the timing for dramatic effect.
		This hybrid of pop, rock, and rhythm and blues is virtually identical to the pop, rock, and RandB of this area that was popular in other parts of the country.
		Instead, swamp pop's regional identity comes from a soulful, emotional vocal style that has strong connections with zydeco and Cajun music.

		Their music combines the best of the Louisiana swamp blues tradition spiced with funky rhythms, present-day sensibilities and soulful vocals—all backed by Kenny’s exciting, slashing guitar style and masterful, deep-toned harmonica playing.

		The piano and horn-driven New Orleans style of blues was enlivened by Caribbean and Dixieland rhythms, while in the Southwest of the state, accordion-driven zydeco emerged from the melding of French folk music, Native and African-American religious and social music, and electric blues.
		The "Swamp blues" emerged on record in the 1950s; influenced heavily by the style of the Chicago area's Jimmy Reed, this featured a slower take on the Louisiana style, with lazy vocals sometimes lagging just behind the rhythm, and incorporated unique studio production techniques.
		Texas blues is characterized by inventive guitar techniques (perhaps influenced by Mexican flamenco style), use of arpeggios, and jazz-inspired improvisation as well as the up-tempo, piano-driven "barrelhouse" style pioneered in Dallas, Houston, and Galveston, and the prominent vocals of slower blues shuffles more reminiscent of Delta traditions.

		Swamp blues, a minor but interesting genre, originated in the Baton Rouge area where musicians like Slim Harpo, Lightnin' Slim, Lonesome Sundown, and Lazy Lester developed a unique, rocking, Cajun-influenced blues style, captured after 1948 on Excello records.
		It appealed particularly to British rockers of the 1960s (the Rolling Stones covered Harpo's "I'm a King Bee," for instance, and the Kinks recorded Lazy Lester's "I'm a Lover Not a Fighter") and eventually contributed to the development of zydeco.
		Among the few surviving exemplars is "swamp boogie queen" Katie Webster.

		Joe is an acknowledged master of the "Frattoir" (rubboard) and with it defines a hypnotic, riveting core to the Swamp Padres.

		Growing up in the swamps of south central Florida, Prestage began to mix Mississippi Country Blues with his own brand of Florida Swamp Blues.
		Being a street musician in the “Blues capital of the South” threw Prestage's music in a new direction.
		The final result is Ben playing guitar, bass, and drums while singing his own brand of Blues which leaves bottles empty and dance floors full wherever his music takes him.

	Papa HooDoo - The Swamp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Their vision is to combine their current jamband style with a unique feel, capturing the gut of delta blues guitar while applying contemporary grooves and rhythms.
		The end result is music that’s true to the jamband genre but has the texture and feel of blues, jazz, folk, rock, americana and world with a touch of Celtic on occasion.
		The band likes to "swamp” out all their songs, both covers and originals, to create a melting pot of old and new.

	Swamp pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Swamp pop is a musical genre indigenous to the Acadiana region of south Louisiana and an adjoining section of southeast Texas.
		The swamp pop sound is typified by highly emotional lyrics, tripleting honky-tonk pianos, undulating bass lines, bellowing horn sections, a strong rhythm and blues backbeat, and mournful, lovelorn lyrics.
		Despite its obvious rock and roll and rhythm and blues influences, swamp pop was not devoid of folk characteristics.
