Swamp Rock is a genre of music that draws inspiration from the blend of rock 'n' roll, blues, and cajun music from Louisiana. It is characterized by its heavy, rich, and "muddy" sound quality, reminiscent of the swamps of the southern United States. It often uses distorted electric guitars and distinct rhythmic patterns, while its lyrics typically touch on themes such as nature, love, and life in the South. It is known for its authenticity and raw energy.
