The Ventures - Swamp Rock (1969) MP3@320 torrent

The album is The Ventures' attempt to make a set of down-home country and rock using Creedence Clearwater Revival as a template. Two John Fogerty songs, "Green River" and "Proud Mary," are performed on the record, as are Hank Williams' "Jambalaya," Jim Ford's "Niki Hokey (Speedway)," The Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds."

"Swamp Rock" it's still an entertaining record and one of their more enjoyable efforts of the late '60s.
