Swamp Pop for a Friday night

Ever have a song sneak into your head which you actually haven’t heard in a really long time? That happened to me today. I’ve known the song for many many years but I can’t remember the last time I heard it. It’s by Rufus Jaganeaux and I think if you wanted to categorize it you’d call it Swamp Pop.  Here’s Opelousas Sostan….

Let’s stay with the theme….check out Betty & Dupree by Cookie and the Cupcakes….

Now here’s Kenny Tibbs novelty tune about Holly Beach – the Cajun Riviera – to the tune of Under the Boardwalk….

And finally let’s get out of this post with a visit to the Promised Land. Of course this is a Chuck Berry tune, but it’s Johnnie Allan singing with the mighty Belton Richard squeezing out the fantastic accordion breaks. Love this one!
