{"product_id":"jackdawg-jackdawg-lp","title":"Jackdawg - Jackdawg (LP)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eJackdawg is John McFee and Keith Knudsen (Doobie Bros) \u0026amp; Stu Cook (CCR) and they just create 15 tracks of great rock 'n' roll\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo Doobies plus one Creedence equals a Jackdawg. Drawing upon decades of experience in the rock 'n' roll world, three friends got together to make a straightforward rock album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMulti-instrumentalist, singer\/songwriter John McFee joined The Doobies in 1979. By that point, his credits included sessions with Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, The Grateful Dead, Rick James, The Steve Miller Band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStu Cook was best known for his bass playing in Creedence Clearwater Revival, with whom he earned a string of 14 Top Ten singles and five Top Ten albums. CCR broke up in 1972, with Cook venturing into music production with Roky Erickson's 1980 release The Evil One.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrummer, singer and songwriter Keith Knudsen joined The Doobie Bros in 1974; he would be featured on a six-album run of Top Ten albums by that group. An all-around musician, Knudsen also played and recorded with Lee Michaels, Carly Simon, Paul Williams, Emmylou Harris. Keith passed away in 2005.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the early '80s, The Doobies were on hiatus. McFee and Knudsen would continue together, in 1983 forming the new country rock group Southern Pacific. Stu Cook joined them in 1986. During its nine-year run, Southern Pacific landed three of its four albums in the Top 40 on Billboard's Country chart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new songs they were writing had none of the country flavor of their earlier collaboration and the new project wasn't designed to cater to any style: 'Let's not have guidelines, barriers or rules about this,' they decided. Reflecting the combined and shared musical sensibilities of its creators, Jackdawg ended up being a pop-rock album. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplementing Jackdawg's original material, a pair of inspired covers round out the album. The band turns in a fine and fiery reading of Roky Erickson's 'Cold Night for Alligators,' a song first heard on The Evil One and they decided to cover Van Morrison's 'Wild Night'  but took it in a very different direction. McFee pedal steel guitar is an important part of Morrison's recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eBayou Rebel\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhen the Sun Don't Shine\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHunger\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eGhost Dance\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eKisses In the Rain\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Couldn't Help Myself\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eQuicksand\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Girl From Oz\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCold Night For Alligators\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWild Night\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liberation Hall\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pop\/Rock\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40:10 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/24\/25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810177216827\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"LIBHALL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46739033653497,"sku":"LIB-2168","price":18.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/LIB-2168.jpg?v=1755184320","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/jackdawg-jackdawg-lp","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
