swamp pop : ウィキペディア英語版
swamp pop

Swamp pop is a musical genre indigenous to the Acadiana region of south Louisiana and an adjoining section of southeast Texas. Created in the 1950s and early 1960s by teenaged Cajuns and black Creoles, it combines New Orleans-style rhythm and blues, country and western, and traditional French Louisiana musical influences. Although a fairly obscure genre, swamp pop maintains a large audience in its south Louisiana and southeast Texas homeland, and it has acquired a small but passionate cult following in the United Kingdom, northern Europe, and Japan.〔Shane K. Bernard, ''Swamp Pop: Cajun and Creole Rhythm and Blues'' (Jackson, Miss.: University Press of Mississippi, 1996), pp. 5-6, 44.〕
== The sound ==

The swamp pop sound is typified by highly emotional, lovelorn lyrics, tripleting honky-tonk pianos, undulating bass lines, bellowing horn sections and a strong rhythm and blues backbeat. It is exemplified by slow ballads like Cookie and the Cupcakes' "Mathilda" (recorded 1958), considered by many fans as the unofficial swamp pop "anthem." But the genre has also produced many upbeat compositions, such as Bobby Charles' "Later Alligator" (1955), popularly covered by Bill Haley & His Comets.〔Bernard, ''Swamp Pop'', pp. 5-6, 25.〕
During the genre's heyday (1958-1964), several swamp pop songs appeared on national U.S. record charts. These included Jimmy Clanton's "Just A Dream" (1958), Warren Storm's "Prisoner's Song" (1958), Phil Phillips' "Sea Of Love" (1959), Rod Bernard's "This Should Go On Forever" (1959), Joe Barry's "I'm A Fool To Care" (1960), and Dale and Grace's "I'm Leaving It Up To You" (1963).〔John Broven, ''South to Louisiana: Music of the Cajun Bayous'' (Gretna, La.: Pelican, 1983), pp. 179-83.〕
In swamp pop's south Louisiana-southeast Texas birthplace, fans regarded many songs that never became national hits as classics. These include Johnnie Allan's "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" (1958), Buck Rogers' "Crazy Baby" (1959), Randy and the Rockets' "Let's Do The Cajun Twist" (1962), T. K. Hulin's "I'm Not A Fool Anymore" (1963), and Clint West's "Big Blue Diamonds" (1965), among numerous others.〔Bernard, ''Swamp Pop'', p. 6.〕
