LOUISIANA SWAMP BLUES
El Swamp blues es un tipo de música blues muy especializada y evolucionada. Este estilo nace a partir del Louisiana blues y es conocido principalmente por sus ritmos lentos, los cuales dominan a una música desenfadada y alegre. Así mismo, en sus sonidos pueden encontrarse influencias de la música cajún o zydeco, músicas basadas en Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
A pesar de que gran parte de los intérpretes del swamp blues procedan de Baton Rouge, este estilo suele asociarse con el productor discográfico J. D. "Jay" Miller originario de Crowley, Louisiana; Miller realizó muchas grabaciones de swamp blues a través de sus sellos discográficos, además de en otras discográficas a nivel estatal como la de Ernie Young "Excello Records". Viendo el impacto del swamp blues en la música popular, los Rolling Stones versionaron el tema del intérprete de swamp blues Slim Harpo "I'm A King Bee" mientras que Neil Young, entre otros, versionó el tema de Harpo "Rainin' In My Heart". El swamp blues suele citarse como una de las principales influencias en el grupo Creedence Clearwater Revival.
El swamp blues suele confundirse con la música swamp pop, la cual corresponde a un género musical del sur de Louisiana (aun así, intérpretes de swamp blues y swamp pop suelen acompañarse los unos a los otros en estudios de grabación y conciertos en directo); tampoco debe confundirse con el Delta blues, un estilo de música blues más conocido y que proviene del norte de Misisipi.

Swamp blues is a type of Louisiana blues that developed around Baton Rouge in the 1950s and 1960s. It generally has a slow tempo and incorporates influences from other genres, particularly zydeco and Cajun. Its most successful proponents included Slim Harpo and Lightnin' Slim, who enjoyed national rhythm and blues hits and whose work was frequently covered by bands in the British Invasion.
Swamp blues has a laid-back, slow tempo, and generally is a more rhythmic variation of Louisiana blues, incorporating influences from New Orleans blues, zydeco, soul music and Cajun music. It is characterized by simple but effective guitar work and is heavily influenced by the boogie patterns used on Jimmy Reed records and the work of Lightnin' Hopkins and Muddy Waters.The sound of swamp blues was characterized by "eerie echo, shuffle beats, tremolo guitars, searing harmonica and sparse percussion".
Swamp blues originated in Baton Rouge, and was particularly associated with record producer J. D. "Jay" Miller. In the 1950s, Miller recorded many blues artists around the city, distributing their recordings through Excello Records in Nashville, Tennessee. The most successful and influential artist with whom he worked was guitarist and harmonica player Slim Harpo. Other major artists included Lightnin' Slim, Lazy Lester, Silas Hogan, Lonesome Sundown, and piano player Katie Webster.A number of their tracks, particularly those of Slim Harpo, were covered by British Invasion bands, including the Rolling Stones, The Kinks and the Yardbirds. The popularity of the genre faded in the 1970s, with many swamp bluesmen turning to zydeco which remained popular with black audiences.
