Swamp Pop From Louisiana

Swamp Pop, indigenous to South Louisiana, is marked by highly emotional, plaintive vocals, simple, unaffected lyrics backed by a honky-tonk piano, bellowing sax sections and a strong Rhythm & Blues backbeat.
Upbeat pieces often possess the bouncy rhythms of Cajun and Creole two-steps, whilst melancholic ballads exhibit the heart-broken 'what's-the-use-of-living' laments common to many Cajun and black Creole compositions.
This collection presents 20 of the finest examples of Swamp Pop, featuring tracks from Johnnie Allan, Little Bob & The Lollipops, Kenny Tibbs, Rod Bernard & Clifton Chenier, Cookie & the Cupcakes, Rockin' Sidney, Warren Storm and more.
