I really wanted to have a WahWah for my lead guitar but BIAB doesn't have one,at least i haven't found it there.So just use your imagination when the lead comes around.

Swamp Stompin'

It's in my blood i can't get it out
It's thick as the mud from here down south

Talkin' 'bout swamp stompin',talkin' 'bout swamp stompin'

I wake up in the mornin' and i hit the swamp
I dive right off of a cypress stump
The gators and the snakes they don't care
There's plenty of room we all can share

Talkin' 'bout swamp stompin',talkin' 'bout swamp stompin'

Some folks think i'm crazy for what i do
But they're all strangers to the mighty bayou
If you're born down here it's a natural thing
They don't understand the joy it brings

Talkin' 'bout swamp stompin',talkin' 'bout swamp stompin'

Talkin' 'bout swamp stompin',talkin' 'bout swamp stompin'

Mike,

I like it when you get swampy!

(The slide leads work well with swampy)

"The gators and the snakes they don't care
There's plenty of room we all can share"

Nice.

Cool title and concept. Mike.
The slide will be perfect for this one... I can almost hear it
The noodlin near the end was nice.

thanx for spinnin' this one Floyd.Yeah i tried about 4 or 5 slides but none sounded just right.Thanx.Mike

Thank ya Nelson.Maybe i'll search a little more for one that will work.Mike

Hi Mike:

I believe you "had your Elvis working" on this one. Calvin picked up on the line I planned to mention. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hey Mike,

I like the late 60's pop feel. I could hear Jerry Reed doing this one!

Nice contrasting guitar tones, but I would give the clean lead runs just a "slight more edginess" or distortion (just a little)--gluing it better to the strong low mid-range tones going on. I like the contrast in general for sure as well as the style--nice work!

steady-eddie.

thank ya there Calvin.Mike

Elvis,lol,that's anew one Dave,thanx for takin' a listen.Mike

Jerry Reed,that'll work Eddie.Yeah i agree a little more dirtier guitar.I wanted so bad for WahWah but i might look for a slide or more distorted guitar this coming week.Thank ya.mike

Nice Mike. Got some of that Tony Joe going here. Cool lyric, vocal and arrangement.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

PS Dunno what DAW you are using but most of them have amp sims and pedals (including wah wah). You can render a BiaB guitar track as "direct input" and apply your own effects...you probably already know this but thought I'd mention it as we are learning how to do it.

hey J & B,i'm glad y'all checked this one out.Yeah,i can input a "live" guitar but i'm not sure if the guy i know can play wahwah with that swampy feel i'm looking for.i guess it wouldn't hurt to find out though,he may surprise me.Thanks!Mike

Hey Mike what I meant was to generate a biab track direct and then add wha wha to it.

oh!i'm not sure if mine will do that but i'll see.Thanks!Mike

oh!i'm not sure if mine will do that but i'll see.Thanks!Mike

Mike, you ol swamp stomper you! Do you actually dive off cypress stumps and swim with the gators and snakes? Fun song.

Ricki

Mike,

We don't do much swamp stompin in NY but I'm diggin the music! Cool tune, thanks for sharing!

Tom

hey Ricki,thanks for the spin.Well i guess anyone who swims in rivers along the gulf coast from east Texas to probably South Carolina swims with them.Thanks!Mike

oh i bet New York has some wicked swamps along those rivers and lakes Tom,maybe y'all don't have the same critters though.Thanks for the visit.Mike

Hi Michael,

Oh yeah..I feel what you are doing here..CCR and Tony Joe White..great groove..just one grunt? Aw, c'mon man

Love it..

Mike

hi Mike,,you know i`m a fan so, I just natural like this song..
been a while ,hope all is good in your world..

haha,one grunt,two grunts will cost ya.CCR and TJW would make a super swampy baby.Thanx Michael!Mike

thank ya Lane,i appreciate the visit.Mike

Mike, It sure sounds like you had a good time putting together this song. Your tune brings back fond memories of the old '60s dance craze songs like the Bristol Stomp and Surfers Stomp. There must have been dozens of those Stomp songs. Now there's one more. I enjoyed listening to you put the stomp back into the swamp.
