So, should Fogerty cover a Robert Johnson song someday? He did at least two Leadbelly songs - Cottonfields and Midnight Special - with the special Fogerty flare. Which song should he do? Clapton scored big with Crossroads, I would leave that one alone. Every blues band does Sweet Home Chicago. I think maybe I would vote for "If I had Possession over Judgement Day".

I'd vote for When You Got A Good Friend ... or the classic Dust My Broom done in an uptempo hard driving style, like "Before You Accuse Me" on the Roskilde 1997 CD ... Come In My Kitchen would be good done in a slower style like "110 In the Shade" ... Mile Cow Blues would be good .. but it's real dirty nasty blues metaphor song and I couldn't hear John singing it .... p.s. Eric Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson" is a fine CD to have .. R. Johnson's songs are done very well by Slowhand ...
