Performer Notes

As difficult as it is to say exactly what swamp pop is or isn't (a quick try would be to say that it is vocal group-inspired R&B with some Cajun and zydeco elements tossed in, although there are plenty of exceptions to any definition one could make), it is fundamentally a Louisiana and East Texas-based dance music with a bit of a late-'50s pop feel. Swamp pop may be hard to pin down, but you damn well know it when you hear it. Or put another way, anything a swamp pop artist plays is therefore swamp pop by default, which pretty much leaves the door wide open. This pleasant sampler of artists on the Mardi Gras Records roster doesn't exactly clear up any questions about what swamp pop is, but it sure is fun to listen to, and it swings gently from start to finish. Highlights include the opener, Charles Mann's Cajun take on Dire Straits' "Walk of Life," Bill Matte's accordion, guitar, and triangle take on "Bye Bye Puppy Love," and Link Davis, Jr.'s version of the classic "Honky Tonk" instrumental, although there really isn't a weak link in this whole set. Fun stuff, no matter what you call it. ~ Steve Leggett
