I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s mystery artist says that one of his hits was written by staring at his blank apartment walls and looking for something other worldly to come to him. Think you can guess the song or writer??

The funny thing about this song is at the time it was written about living the south by John Fogerty he had never even been there. According to Wikipedia, the song writer said:

"Born on the Bayou" was vaguely like "Porterville," about a mythical childhood and a heat-filled time, the Fourth of July. I put it in the swamp where, of course, I had never lived. It was late as I was writing. I was trying to be a pure writer, no guitar in hand, visualizing and looking at the bare walls of my apartment. Tiny apartments have wonderful bare walls, especially when you can't afford to put anything on them. "Chasing down a hoodoo." Hoodoo is a magical, mystical, spiritual, non-defined apparition, like a ghost or a shadow, not necessarily evil, but certainly other-worldly. I was getting some of that imagery from singers Hollin’ Wolf  and Muddy Water.

If you say so John.  No one can argue that it worked.

Here is tonight’s featured song.
