Ebook: Bayou underground tracing the mythical roots of American popular music

"Bayou Underground explores the music of the region through the legends and rumors that created it in the first place. From the House of the Rising Son to the legend of Stagger Lee, from Marie Laveau to the axman who loved hot jazz, Bayou Underground unearths the people and the cultures that have called the bayou home, revisiting their words and lives through the music of so many rock outsiders. Bo Diddley, Nick Cave and Alice Cooper pass through the pages to document past history, or create a new one. It is the world of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jerry Reed and Elvis Presley; it is the music of Dr. John, Joe Satriani and the Oak Grove Swamp Fox"--Page 4 of cover.;Track 1 "Promised Land" Elvis Presley -- Track 2 "Baron Samedi" 10cc -- Track 3 "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" Redbone -- Track 4 "Highway 61 Revisited" Bob Dylan -- Track 5 "Big Bad Moon" Joe Satriani -- Track 6 "Amos Moses" Alex Harvey Band -- Track 7 "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" Dr. John -- Track 8 "Who Do You Love" Juicy Lucy -- Track 9 "Chateau Lafite '59 Boogie" Foghat -- Track 10 "Bad Moon Rising" Creedence Clearwater Revival -- Track 11 "Staggerlee" Prince Buster -- Track 12 "Louisiana 1927" Marcia Ball -- Track 13 "Sneaking Sally through the Alley" Robert Palmer -- Track 14 "The House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals -- Track 15 "The Carny and the Bad Seeds" Nick Cave -- Track 16 "Black Juju" Alice Cooper -- Track 17 "The Ripper" Judas Priest -- Track 18 "Bad Things" -- Epilogue.
