Covers....Come big or stay home, right? So if you're gonna cover my absolute favorite Creedence song.....well......just know you're treading sacred ground. So having said that...Jeffrey didn't come big enough. Its a pleasant enough recording, I like the fiddles & National Steel but......For all their affectations...CCR nailed it better...more winsome...more sadly reflective. But I gotta believe there's a version of this somewhere that does real justice to that great lyric.

I'm with you on this tune - sacred ground indeed
I kind of like Foucault's version, but agree with both of you. Al Wilson's version, produced in L.A. by Johnny Rivers in 1969, got airplay. Nice uncredited bottleneck guitar solo, and arrangement. Wilson went on to have a big hit, "Show and Tell," in 1972.
I just discovered a blog post from a month ago about this at Powerpop (http://powerpop.blogspot.com/2009/04/fun-with-downloads-oh-lord-stuck-in.html). (What's the new way to make a word be the link to a website?
That's servicable
Thanks Spike!
You're welcome!
Wednesday? You can't play by their rules, and neither can I! I'm commenting on a Thursday! It nigh on impossible to best Fogerty at his own material, but that ain't terrible.
The 30-second sample? I'm gonna start calling you Lazybones.
Here you go. Here's the whole song to evaluate.
fair at best, but it is maybe my 25th favorite CCR tune
Reminds me of another favorite Creedence tune, "Bad Moon Rising". Of course in my youth I thought the lyrics were, "Theerrrre's a bathroom on the right", hah.

None do it better that Creedance, especially not "Creedance Revisited".
