During their time with Ronstant they recorded their own album for Starday-King Records, which was originally intended to be a Gib Builbeau solo album but soon transformed into a group effort. White dropped out just prior to recording and was replaced by Thad Maxwell on bass (though White did stay on as the band's road manager). Swampwater consisted of some great country-rock notable for spectacular vocal harmonies and a strong Cajun vibe, both through Guilbeau's fiddle and the lyrical imagery - all odes to riverboats, bayou country and Lousiana women. Guilbeau's songwriting was to the fore, and many of his songs (notably "Take A City Bride" and "Big Bayou") would be covered by all sorts of other artists.
