Suzie Q.

“Susie Q” is the third track of the album “Creedence Clearwater Revival”, published as debut album in 1968 by the homonym band. “Susie Q” is a song published originally by the singer and guitarist Dale Hawkins. The Creedence Clearwater Revival have the merit to have composed the most popular version, different by the original Hawkin’s song, for example, thanks to a riff of the second solo played by John Fogerty, taken from the Howlin’ Wolf’s blues song “Smokestack lightning”.
