Interesting posts. This topic is one that pops up now and then, and has been popping up for years now on the many forums about CCR/Fogerty. It's always interesting to me, and brings back information that I have forgotten - such as where Hoodoo was recorded, who worked on it, etc. Thanks for the posts.
As for Fogerty ever re-working some or all of Hoodoo, in my humble opinion it would be a mistake, and I don't believe it will ever happen. Number one, he has no reason to do so, unless he just wants to do it - there would probably be little financial gain, probably very little critical acclaim, AND, he has repeatedly said over the years that he did not like the album. So, why would he do it? Number two, his voice no longer has that "sound" from his younger days, which is totally understandable. While that may not matter on songs he may write nowadays, on some of those Hoodoo songs, it would make a huge difference, and not for the best...again, just my opinion.
Great to read all the opinions and thoughts on this Hoodoo album. It is a good example of individual takes on music - which is art - and everybody is different. What is a masterpiece to one person is mediocrity to another.
Wouldn't it be great if Robert, after finding or borrowing a reel-to-reel set-up and sitting down to listen to the 'Lost Asylum Tapes', and then somewhere in the middle of all that music - WALLA!...the intro to 'You Got the Magic' starts to play, and as his senses are awakened, and he jumps up and turns up the volume, he can't believe his - and our - good fortune. As he continues to listen, there it is, after all these years, finally, a complete, very good quality tape of Hoodoo that somehow had escaped discovery and survived obscurity down through the ages of Rockdom.
