Swamp blues, a minor but interesting genre, originated in the Baton Rouge area where musicians like Slim Harpo, Lightnin' Slim, Lonesome Sundown, and Lazy Lester developed a unique, rocking, Cajun-influenced blues style, captured after 1948 on Excello records. It appealed particularly to British rockers of the 1960s (the Rolling Stones covered Harpo's "I'm a King Bee," for instance, and the Kinks recorded Lazy Lester's "I'm a Love Not a Fighter") and eventually contributed to the development of zydeco. Among the few surviving exemplars is "swamp boogie queen" Katie Webster. Our selection comes from Lazy Lester's Harp & Soul album, titled "Alligator Shuffle" and available on King Snake Records.
