This is a "live" compilation album. He has included CCR material and his prior solo works, including his new song 'Premonition'. 'Born On The Bayou'(bayou=marsh,bog,swamp) opens the scene(country-rock drenched number), 'Green River'[wonder if my rope is still hanging to the tree] (tells about his Green River days in the country) gets you rocking. Screaming Jay Hawkins' 'Suzie Q.' [i like the way you talk,i like the way you talk] (talks about lovely Susie) nails you down with wonderful drumming by Kenny Aronoff (he is the overall drummer). 'I Put A Spell On You' [i put a spell on you because you are mine] (blues-rock number) slows you down, but watch out for 'Who'll Stop The Rain'- this one is similar to his 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain', 'Almost Saturday Night'(a cold bootleg item), 'Rockin' All Over The World' (STATUS QUO open their gigs with this one-it is by John Cameron Fogerty), 'Joy Of My Life' is dedicated to Fogerty's wife (Fogerty notes:"joyful thanks to the one who matters the most"). 'Down On The Corner'is a CCR classic [Willie and the poor boys are playing] 'Centerfield' [put me in coach i am ready to play]- it is what they sing at baseball matches in the states, 'Swamp River Days' i another country rock smelling number. 'Hot Rod Heart' and Fogerty's solo hit 'The Old Man Down The Road' follow. 'Bad Moon Rising' [i see a bad moon rising,i see trouble on the way] , the politically related 'Fortunate Son' [i ain't no senator's son], ExtraOrdinary 'Proud Mary', and the RnR number:'Travelin' Band'. This album is a must have.
