Love CCR’s version

Willie Nelson has totally reinterpreted it.  
Much more reflective and gripping. Same lyrics except Willie sings drumming down on a rainy day. Instead of coming down.

You like? Comments?  
Different video. Same version. this appears to be from Willie’s daughters album.

Pretty cool that in one Willie is the lead.

Other video his daughter Paula is lead and Willie does the other part.

I really liked it, especially the steel guitar and the chorus harmonies. Thanks for sharing!
