Slim Harpo is probably the best musician from the Louisiana "swamp blues" scene: lazy, drawling, mushmouth vocals, simple, funky harmonica and guitar riffs surfing on the tidal waves of reverb and tremolo. He was really popular with the british bluesmen in the 60s: the Rolling Stones covered his songs.
