Swamp Rock

Swamp Rock stumbled out of the bayous of Louisiana in the late 1960s, where musicians decided that mixing rock with a bit of blues and a sprinkling of country should be the recipe for a good knees-up. Characterised by gritty guitar riffs, growling vocals, and a lyrical obsession with all things murky—think Southern swamps and questionable life choices—it's basically country music that got lost finding its way home. The result is a sound that's both haunting and toe-tapping, perfect for long drives or contemplating the deep questions of life, like why the water's always rising.
