Christopher Kearney - Sweetwater (1974 canada, nice soft groovy rock, 2014 korean remaster)



This is the third album from Canadian swamp singer-songwriter Christopher Keaney. His sound is more refined than his debut, featuring three songs by band member Bob Yeomans. It seems to have been influenced by Steely Dan, and while the vocals still retain a down-to-earth quality, they are light and elegant. This is a work from the period when swamp music was moving towards to straight rock forms, and it is of high quality.
