It’s a pound of R&B, and a ounce or three of country. The music has Cajun swamp miasma.
Jerry Wexler

Swamp music was a spirit which had seized rock’n’roll after psychedelia had burned itself out in 1968 – a spirit of back-to-the-roots Americana as much in evidence on Beggars Banquet as on Music From Big Pink.
