One of the key players in what became known as Louisiana swamp pop, Rod Bernard had big hits with This Should Go On Forever and Pardon Mr Gordon. Swamp Rock’n’Roller is a brilliant 28 track compilation by John Broven that includes material drawn from all the labels Bernard recorded for – Jin /Argo, Hall, Hall-Way, Arbee and La Louisianne. As such it provides a definitive overview of the artist’s career. Along with the hits are 10 previously unissued tracks, among them versions of My Babe, Thirty Days and Maybelline. The comprehensive sleevenotes are by Rod’s son Shane Bernard.
