This 2 cd set is a definitive look at the Southwest Louisiana / East Texas phenomenom of SWAMP POP....A mixture of R&B- Pop & blues with a unique sound and group of artists........Some of these tracks broke into the public consciousness in the late 50's & early 60's while others are just as obscure today as they were when they recorded....Uniformly interesting & exciting, this set has hits- misses and obscurities galore.....
