Gator Creek - Gator Creek
Original release: 1970
This swamp rocking ensemble only ever released this one album and one single from it, but it is filled with bluesy, rocky, swampy goodness. I initially came across it because Tue Track sampled the intro from Betty Jean’s Mama in Malk De Koijn - Nalk, but the rest of the song, and indeed the entire album, is totally worth checking out. At times it is reminiscent of Dr. John’s more rock n’ roll-y songs.
