“My Baby Left Me”

Boy, John Fogerty sure dug old rock and blues songs. Yet another cover tune from CCR’s “Cosmo’s Factory” first done by Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, who originally did “That’s All Right” - Elvis’s very first record. Like so many blues musicians of that era, Crudup (born in Forest, Miss.) eventually became fed up with everyone else making money off his records except him. Arthur mostly stopped performing and became a bootlegger on the Eastern Shore of Virginia where he died in 1974.
