It's not bad, and they are probably good musicians but the strong bluesy feeling of the original version is totally gone.
You just can't change a blues song into a country rock song.
The original feeling it had is totally gone.

Hey Robert, yeah I totally agree! Its no where close to CCR's version and the way John wrote it, blusey, and of course not as good but not a bad cover. I just had never heard it before until yesterday. Its just cool to see/hear other artist cover John's songs. If I remember right, wasn't Tom Fogerty's son Jeff trying to put a CCR tribute album together some years back and I believe Aerosmith was set to do a cover of Penthouse Pauper on it? That would have been cool!

Yes, I agree swamprocker57, it's not a bad cover, but no where as good as John's version that John produced for Creedence Clearwater Revival. I have always loved this bluesey song, the reason I chose Penthouse Pauper as my forum name.
