Swamp blues
The
swamp blues is a form of
blues music that is highly evolved and specialized. It arose from the
Louisiana blues and is known for its laidback, plodding rhythms which dominate the music. Influences from
Cajun music (such as
zydeco) can also be heard in the sound, which has long been based out of
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
