Merge with Swamp Pop?
editIf there is concern that this article is not notable enough, why not merge it with the more developed "Swamp Pop". The two genres are pretty similar.

- I'm also concerned about the notability. Can someone please add some reliable sources to this article? DarkSaber2k 16:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Appropriate redirect?
editCurrently this article redirects to swamp pop, however, other than the word "swamp" that article appears to be unrelated to swamp rock and doesn't discuss swamp rock other than to say that it is "a distinct genre that drew more on 1960s hard rock than on the 1950s rhythm and blues sound that helped to define swamp pop."

Swamp should have its own page
editSwamp Rock is distinct from Swamp Pop. Swamp Rock has many bands, singers, writers, producers, and fans. Please give Swamp Rock its own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProfJayJay (talk • contribs) 21:58, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Etymology
editWhat is the origin of the term "swamp rock"? That should be front and center, yet there is nothing about that, and I don't see any cite here that is older than 2007. Despite an ardent interest in some of the artists mentioned, such as The Meters and Dr. John, I've never heard those acts referred to in any other way than as New Orleans funk artists. Some people make a meal out of very thin gruel on Wikipedia. Nicmart (talk) 01:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
