Though Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 release Willy And The Poor Boys is best known for hits Down On The Corner & Fortunate Son, the album closes with Effigy – its longest track clocking in at almost 6:30. With it being a relatively obscure CCR tune, we’ve only got four covers this week.

For today’s Track By Track, we’ve enlisted Brendan Bayliss to tell us something about each track on the debut release from 30db entitled One Man Show. 30db started long ago when Bayliss – whose main gig is with Umphrey’s McGee – teamed up with longtime friend Jeff Austin of Yonder Mountain String Band to write songs and play shows together. Last year, the pair decided they had enough material to put together an album and headed to Boulder to record what turned into One Man Show – which comes out tomorrow – along with a stellar backing band that includes Cody Dickinson (NMAS), Nick Forster (Hot Rize) and Eric Thorin.
Here’s what Bayliss had to say about each One Man Show track…
