notes

From liner notes:
"Jackdawg - the never before released recordings of a trio consisting of Doobie Brothers guitarist John McFee, Creedence Clearwater Revival bassist Stu Cook, and longtime Doobie drummer, the late Keith Knudsen. This is earthly, creative, truly innovative rock at its finest - the music itself was the only goal here, which is perhaps why it has taken so long for these recordings to become available to the listening public. You can hear the fun in the music, and almost all the material was written by the three members together. The only 'outside' songs are Jackdawg's swampy rendition of Roky Erickson's haunting Cold Night For Alligators and Van Morrison's classic Wild Night. Even these two songs are close to home for the lads, as Stu produced Rocky's original version of Alligators and John played on Van's original hit version of Wild Night. Recorded in the late '80s into the first of the '90s, the songs and playing epitomize what a contrast a REAL band, who actually write, play, and sing on their own recordings makes to so much of the plastic, pre-fab offerings of today. So, enjoy Jackdawg, the genuine article..."
