Swamp Pop is a style out of Louisiana, akin to Cajun, but leaning heavily towards 50's rock and country twang. Its leading practitioner, Johnny Allan, is best known for this version of Chuck Berry's "The Promised Land". I came across it on a compilation a while back and was struck by how smoothly it rocks all the way through. Dig the accordian breaks!
