Exactly, he got sued by whoever held the rights to this song. Fortunately the judge had common sense and Fogerty won. He can copy his own riffs all he wants. Chuck Berry did it all the time.
Fogerty's relationship with his record comapny was surreal. He got sued in his solo career for sounding too much like himself in CCR, among other things. Un-stinking-believable.

As I recall this was also on the soundtrack of the Saint movie with Val Kilmer.

" you know you can't ride the concept of a horse, but still I try " quite possibly one of my favorite lyrics of any song.
It is pretty cool. I've heard that clapping two coconut shells together helps with riding a concept horse. Better yet, have your noble manservant Patsy do it while you assuming the riding posture and skip along...

These guys were featured on 60 Minutes over a year ago. This might be the song that's a Russian folksong merged with American bluegrass...whichever one it is, it should be on the album. It is by far their "most requested song". Very cool. Like that Sushi Haggis collaboration that plays on this station sometimes. darn I dont see footage online of 60 minutes, however, there is a documentary film https://www.amazon.com/Ballad-Bering-Strait-Tim-DuBois/dp/B00008YGOG(click here)

Yeah it is a surprise here--I listen to really old-fashioned music all the time (outside of RP). Judy had an unfortunate end. Props to Jane Monheit for doing a lovely job on this song in the modern era. A clip of her version was used for that movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"

Really? Where? Up North? In California maybe? Never heard it used in that context.
Me neither, Geechee. In my experience it has meant a woman of any color who had questionable behavior and/or character. If I did learn of that specific Jim Crow era usage, it would be in a book or online somewhere. Not in my firsthand experience.

Methinks this is a waltz, or its gets waltzy at points.

. . . what does her marital/hair/withchild status have to do with it? Did you think that if she stayed single and you got into her music enough, that you could possibly wue her and have a fabulous celebrity life? . . . cheese biscuits. . . . and i still think this is the worse album cover, ever.
WUE? as in: woo /wu/ verb (used with object) 1. to seek the favor, affection, or love of, esp. with a view to marriage. 2. to seek to win: to woo fame. 3. to invite (consequences, whether good or bad) by one's own action; court: to woo one's own destruction. 4. to seek to persuade (a person, group, etc.), as to do something; solicit; importune. –verb (used without object) 5. to make love to a woman; court: He went wooing. 6. to solicit favor or approval; entreat: Further attempts to woo proved useless.

Personally, I prefer the soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi... I just noticed that Elbow can also spell below and bowel.Not a good sign. I hope other songs are better than this one.

It doesnt totally fit, but the cover image made think of this: In this world, LPs are made like pancakes... ------from Amelie

This is a pretty nice version. It sounds like a dark jazz coffeehouse rendition, not a lame unoriginal copy of the original. Its a fine example that, if you gonna do it over and it was excellent the first time, take your own direction. PS-wear your sunscreen.

What a great song to set a film noir type mood. Love it!

Is this a waltz? I am reminding of following the invisible 'box' on the floor in a dancing class. ooonnnneee, twothree, ooonnneee, twothree. (Insert waltzing bananas here.) Adding this to my list. Thanks, Bill!

Ok, as a lullaby it does do its job. Another cute parent-child track is "Put it There" by Paul McCartney. And just about anything written by a rock musician for a kids animation film had a high cute quotient too.

This is calming. Wading in a chilly lagoon calming. Thankfully I have a nappy cup of office coffee around for work.

Oh. I didnt see Babel. I was reminded of the soundtrack to the Motorcycle Diaries and naturally I like this too for that latin acoustic skill.

A capella is nice. The Biscuit Burners have two ladies that since Appalachia songs well, too.
