Swamp pop , swamp pop , or swamp-pop whichever way one chooses to spell it, it is related to Cajun music.  Swamp pop was first started in the 1950's when musicians started mixing the elements of Cajun, rythmn & blues, gospel, and rock & roll.....and oh yea, I'm a Cajun.   As a kid, I spoke Cajun French before I spoke English.  If you love Cajun music , chances are you'll also love swamp pop. Swamp pop was given it's name by the British who liked the music from the Louisiana swamps and the popular mix of music of Louisiana.     

              People I meet often ask what is "Swamp Pop Music". The word "Swamp" stands for the Louisiana swamps. The phrase "Pop Music" of course stands for popular music. In the 1950's to the late 60's the music coming out of Louisiana eventually became known as "Swamp Pop Music". Songs like This Should Go On Forever, Mathilda, Sweet Dreams, Lord I Need Somebody Bad, Crazy Baby, Red Red Wine, I'm a Fool to Care, Blueberry Hill, What am I Livin' For, South To Louisiana, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Lonely Days and Lonely Nights, Don't Take It So Hard, I'm leaving It All Up To You, Send Me Some Lovin, Just a Dream, Just Because, Feed The Flame, Before I Grow To Old, Shed So Many Tears, and The jukebox Songs. The list goes on and on. The "swamppop music"  coming out of swamps and bayou land of Louisiana reached it's peak when Rod Benard went on Dick Clark's  "American Bandstand".  Swamppop music was overshadowed by the Beatles when they toured the USA.  Swamp pop music is now enjoying a new comeback with the help of the world wide web!!!       

The "Swamp Pop Man" CD is now available here on line. Considered to be one of the must have swamp pop cd's by people like.....Tommy McLain, swamp pop nu, and Beb from beb's place.
