I like Hoodoo. Certainly not among JCF's best, but not a complete flop - as far as the songs go. I think Robert explained it well - similar to my feelings. I sure wish we had the finished product to listen to.
The bad copies make it difficult to judge properly, but here are some of my thoughts on it:
In my humble opinion, the album lacked Fogerty's usual passion for perfection - in it's production, arrangement and mix. It seems as though maybe he rushed it, or did not put his total effort into it. I think it would have been better if he had used other musicians - drummer and bassist - and had others doing the recording and mixing. I'm not sure about the details on recording of the LP...was it recorded solely by Fogerty in his own studio? Was it done in a studio with a good reputation? Who was the engineer? It is my assumption that he did everything. Am I not correct in that assumption?
Some of the songs were really not bad - and even good, at least to my taste. I liked Telephone, On the Run, Between the Lines, the covers, and I even liked You Got the Magic a LOT. But, the finished product was sub-par.
To sum up, I think the album needed about two more good songs, and it needed major improvement in the mixing, producing, and arrangement part of the process.
I'll say this - I listen to those songs more than I listen to the Eye of the Zombie and Centerfield LPs, and the second Blue Ridge Rangers project - which for my taste was Fogerty's worst album ever.
