Working with Grammy-award winning producer XXX (The Rolling Stones, Elton John, B.B.King), ZZZ released an album that had his fans purchasing it in droves. "Oh, it's swampy," he said. "It's ZZZ leaving his hat on. This is me. It's the way I've always been since I was a teenager, wearing hats and singing the music that I love to sing."

Reference:
Swamp pop/rock
Swamp pop is a musical genre indigenous to the Acadiana region of south Louisiana and an adjoining section of southeast Texas. Created in the 1950s and early 1960s by teenaged Cajuns and black Creoles, it combines New Orleans-style rhythm and blues, country and western, and traditional French Louisiana musical influences.

Question. A lot of people classify your music as "swamp rock." What does that mean exactly?
A. That's a good question. I have no idea what it means. I'm from the swamp, and I could never put my finger on something and say why it's swampy. I don't know if what I do is swampy. That's somebody else's take. If you listen to a reggae tune, it sounds like the island. Maybe if you listen to a type of music it can remind you of a place. I'm definitely from the swamp, and I've been influenced by people who have been called "swamp rock," so maybe that's where it comes from.
