Swampbilly Shindig/ Various - Swampbilly Shindig / Various

UK two CD collection. Swampbilly Shindig leaps deep into the bayous and plantations of the Deep South. Here, although racial segregation remained law, black and white music mixed with country and rockabilly taking beautiful shape as the hillbilly cats learnt from their blues playing and gospel singing neighbours. Gathered here are 50 tunes with Southern roots from artists as legendary (and as different) as the Staple Singers, Elmore James and Jerry Lee Lewis. Metro Select.
