BAYOU SWAMP

VA - Swamp Pop By The Bayou [2014 - 2017] (3 x CD's)

I absolutely love the entire series! Across 22 volumes, encompassing swamp pop, cajun, zydeco, blues, rhythm'n'blues' and soul, seasoned with everything from country and hillbilly to bluegrass, Mississippi hill blues, gospel and boogie-woogie, this series has everything.

Here are another 3 volumes from the series.    PART 4 (Final)

VA - Swamp Pop By The Bayou [2014] (Volume 07) 

VA - Swamp Pop by the Bayou [2016] Troubles, Tears & Trains (Volume 13) 

VA - Swamp Pop By The Bayou [2017] Let's Get Together Tonight (Volume 17) 

Each CD contains 28 tracks which includes a handful of better known performers to provide prospective buyers with a clear indication of the overall style of the album, a slew of rarities ranging from recordings you could never find to complete obscurities you never heard of, several alternative versions, a track or two by unnamed artist, and  an accompanying booklet, containing priceless background information by Ian Saddler who has curated this series so masterfully.  This set is a perfect example of how to put together a themed series of recordings for serious collectors, as well providing a fantastic music album for anyone who simply wants to enjoy a good old fashioned rootsy listening experience.

Some of this material may be obscure but the playing and singing is first rate.
