Bah. I disagree. I like that album, and especially her versions of Time and the above mentioned 97 Bonnie and Clyde. And, yes, I do know the originals as well.

Oh, believe me, I checked it all out. I was originally going to post to the effect that you were wrong, but decided to check all music guide first, so I did see that Fogerty wrote the song.

Incidently, I mentioned to Jack that he was wrong, and I got a sick, sick joy out of seeing him look it up for himself and have to admit, that yes, he was in fact mistaken. Am I awful?
