Swampblood is the sixth studio album by American rock band Legendary Shack Shakers. It is the third and final entry in the band's "Tentshow Trilogy" of albums, after Believe (2004) and Pandelirium (2006).
According to AllMusic, the Legendary Shack Shakers "continue to expand their musical palette" with Swampblood, writing that "the Tennessee hell-raisers have added a healthy portion of classic swamp rock to the menu", comparing the title track's style to the music of Tony Joe White, "Old Spur Line" to Slim Harpo, and "Hellwater" to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Hybrid magazine said that Swampblood "continues to purvey that classic country blues with a bayou twist" that the band is known for, but branches out beyond this style "with alternative forms of alternative country music, all the while maintaining their distinctive sound".
Swampblood is the final album in the band's "Tentshow Trilogy", preceded by Believe (2004) and Pandelirium (2006).[1]
