@dabel: Neither album should be too hard to acquire, though neither has to my knowledge been reissued.

The Emitt Rhodes debut came out around the same time as did McCartney's, and the reviews (include those of my friends and myself) favoured Emitt's. I met and worked with him years later (1997), and sitting in his studio were the same organ and Gibson ES335 as are pictured on the album cover!

Fogerty's is his tribute, it seem to me, to his formative influences. Very 1950's, very Southern. Though comprised exclusively of covers, it's my favorite of all his solo albums.
