    I usually play this with Creedence's verses in their order, but in willie's slow-then-pick-it-up style. Love folk music, so modular

    Man....I can see why Willie left OCMS which left a big hole in that band but he doesn't need anyone else to sing with, his voice is so powerful and it soars! He's like Hank Williams, with some Woody Guthrie thrown in, a touch of Townes Van Zandt and a whole lotta Appalachia Holler soul for good measure! What a talent....keep on keepin' on Willie!!

    Great song! My Mom turned me on to folk before I knew what it was with songs like Cowboy Jack, Hobo Bill, Red River Valley. She use to tell about this little Filipino cowboy who use to come in with the freight every year to work on my Grandpa's threshing rig in the Red River Valley of the North. He sang and played guitar.
