One of many releases in the 1990s renaissance of the swamp blues group the Boogie Kings, Swamp Boogie Blues is a hugely satisfying and enjoyable selection of swamp blues, expertly played by a band at the peak of their powers. Indeed, it`s hard to remember when the Boogie Kings sounded so alive as they do on this record -- the playing, especially on classics such as "I`m Not a Fool Anymore" and "Promised Land," is sensitive -- but it`s the simple joy of making music that comes across more palpably. A relaxed confidence is the result, and Swamp Boogie Blues stands as one of the defining albums of the swamp blues revival. ~ Thomas Ward
