This is brilliant. Got through tons of swamp blues videos not finding what I wanted to listen to (something that would make me think of being stuck in post-apocalyptic Death Valley) and this was PERFECT.
This is the story of a woman chased by men, Accused to have betrayed her man, she drowned in a swamp trying to escape, ooooh poor lady.. but one night her body rise again 'cause her soul has thirst of vengeance. This is the story of a woman, innocent like a lamb but angry as the devil. (great track you've done.)
Surrounded by Cypress trees. Hearing the gators hissing behind you. Accompanied by the lonely chirp of the wipporwill. 80 degrees in the stillness of the night and you wipe the pouring sweat off your face. Everything smells like rotten decay. You can see a porch light in the distance between the trees. The sounds of chickens clucking ring in your ears. Then you hear loud yelling between the couple in the house up ahead. The wind stops blowing, and the air gets cold as chills run up your spine and goosebumps up and down your arms. You look down in the pale moonlight to see maggots and worms crawling over your feet. Then the sound of a timber rattler shakes and comes to and dying halt. You can feel your heartbeat in your throat. Your try to swallow and can't with that cottonmouth going on. Everything goes silent. Except the ringing in your ear. All of a sudden you hear a voice say "Well lookee here, we got a trespasser. Hey darling! Fire up the stove. We're eating good tonight." Your stomach is tangled in knots and you puke before you turn around to see this one eyed, one tooth, devil of an old man wearing nothing but a pair of blue jeans. He spits tobacco spit on your white T-shirt and smiles that dirty, vile, rotten, one toothed smile. It was the summer in '89 just a few miles south of Baton Rouge in a shithole of a town and this was only the beginning of my camping trip.
Hay man how's it hanging?. Haven't herd much new music on ya tube channel. I still come back here to listen to my favorite swamp blues tunes. Anyway cheers from ya old mate from down under.
@colorsoc Hey, thanks alot. Love those words you use to descripe the sound! No sorry, cant name any bands. I tried lookin for it myself. I was inspired by other youtube vids of people improvising and just worked on the sound and took it to a more dirty feel. It kinda just happend :-) Thanks again.
I do, I warn you though. this guy is quite out there, and his style is very eclectic. Have a look at Tom Waits - Don't go into that Barn, Tom Waits- Gin Soaked Boy, Tom Waits- Going Out West, possiby Tom Waits- Murder in the Red Barn. I hope this helps!
Unlike many on here, you get what "swampy" is. Maybe turn down the distortion? Something sort of ruins the change ups where there needs to be a more clean sound, not real schooled with amp use and all the electronics in use but sure would love to hear the singles come out clean.
....THE SOUNDS OF A SWAMPMAN COMIN' THRU' THE SWAMP BOG W/ A JUG AND SHOTGUN IN HAND LOOKIN' FOR THE GUY WHO BETRAYED HIM...''IM COMIN' FOR YA BOY,AND YOU BEST BE MIGHTY SCARED......'' .. great nasty,greasy sounds..

It's gritty, it's filthy, it's raw and I love it, very well played sir! Amazing sound
this is the most soul wrenching song i have ever heard. I found it on some swamp blues YT playlist and now I can't stop listening to all your stuff.

Trudging through the radioactive swamp to waste the son of a bitch who stole my shine and then leave him to rot in the bog.

This some filthy, blood vendetta voodoo magic! I love it! Can you name any specific work that inspired you to make this?
By the way, be sure to add more; I'll be more than inclined to lend the tune my ear.

Wish I could figure out the rigg you're using for that outstanding tone.
They should've put this on the soundtrack for True Detective.
@baduncadonk Thanks :-)

Mate, there's cool and that's it.
Fucking awesome.
У меня от этой музыки выросли нож и револьвер

Nice and dirty!! Love that.
I'm going to rob a bank in some small dusty town some where in the south west after listening to this song. Wish me luck!
@stewgotz1 A very visual comment :-) I like it. Thanks!
This was awesome.. I started making dark blues just days ago. Go check them out.
This is the sound I've been hearing in my dreams!! great job dude, would you mind telling me what tuning you used?
I know what you mean. Been there before. So any words I could add to my videos that would have made it easier for you to find?
You should make music for movies.
pour Mathilde..c'est ça le Delta , ce son épais , crasse , on est très loin de Delta Saints...
I grabbed your album from "Bandcamp", have you got another in the works? (I hope!)
