Swampy Cue a las using fiddle, mandolin, as opposed to dobro

I would love to try my first Swampy Cue, and feel the best tack is to try using fiddle and mandolin etc.

So my question is: does anyone have some good a las I can listen to?

Am I right in assuming that BLUEGRASS is the same genre as SWAMPY when it comes to using fiddle as the lead instrument?

There are tons of bluegrass fiddle groups on Youtube, but they're all from the 70s. Anyone know of a more contemporary sound?

Help!

Add to that lazy bottleneck slide guitar, harmonica

If you want to hear the swampy stuff listen to TV shows like Duck Dynasty Swamp People, Hillbilly Hand Fishin etc.
Save the swamp listings and listen or make note of the examples

Good Luck

When I think of swampy I think more of cajun or creole music like BeauSoleil

Bluegrass is more Kentucky, though really they all sort of merge at some point, country, bluegrass, western swing, yada yada, lol!
