Fans' views

"Great piece!  Too bad it's so truncated. I'd love to listen to him run with it for three or four minutes."

"I heard this tonight first time and thought Hey that sure sounds like John Fogerty. BAM!"

"Cmon Fogerty... PLEASE make a real song out of this, some lyrics would be cool too, but even no lyrics would be fine. Just add in a few changes to fill in the gaps, and stretch it out to 3 minutes or so. I love this little diddy... makes my head bob back and forth."

"My opinion is that Swamp Water sounds a little bit like A Hundred And Ten In The Shade?"

"I did like "Swamp Water", it's strictly an instrumental, very brief, but very tasty. Definitely has that swampy, soulful, John Fogerty feel. Aptly named."
