I recently started reading Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing. I’m up to volume 2. I’m looking for some background mood music, preferably no lyrics. Any ideas? Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk ---

Well, Cajun music, duh. There are lots of famous guys like Clifton Chenier and Buckwheat Zydeco, but my favorite is **Steve Riley and his Mamou Playboys.** [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/6PNFkWfZDR8/maxresdefault.jpg "Steve Riley And The Mamou Playboys" NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PNFkWfZDR8) ---

nm (I was going to suggest Creedence or Fogerty, but they don’t pass the no lyrics test)
