“Cotton Fields” (CCR)

We recently featured “Midnight Special,” Creedence Clearwater Revival’s version of a blues song from Leadbelly. They also did another of his tunes on “Willy And The Poor Boys.” This became a hit first in 1961 for a folk group, the Highwaymen (not the country supergroup). The Beach Boys had a huge hit outside of America in 1968 with their take. Many, many others have done this song as well.
