This album, released in 1981, is the one Tom Fogerty album that contains a song with the same title. Like all his albums except Sidekicks, this one is no longer in print. The longest song on this album lasts 5 2/3 minutes; ever since the '80s, 4-minute-plus songs have been the norm in the music business. The two songs I like best from this album are "Champagne Love" and "Tricia Suzanne."
Champagne Love (2:46) - Men have a bad reputation for spending weekends watching football games or going places with their buddies. But the narrator prefers to spend the weekend with his wife/girlfriend, whose love is like champagne to him. The tempo is moderate and bright; during the chorus the drums rest on each third beat. The guitar licks are excellent.
Why Me (5:39) - Nancy Kerrigan asked that very same question 13 years later, when Tonya Harding's thugs clubbed her in the knee. In this song, the opening guitar solo is low-pitched and a bit sinister. The tempo is slow, with every even-numbered beat accented.
Real Real Gone (4:05) - The narrator is "gone" in the sense that his life is empty now that his girlfriend has left him. Some people say one can make it alone if he/she tries, but the narrator finds it impossible. I like how the organ and sax play in this fast song.
Tricia Suzanne (2:57) - This song is about the woman to whom Tom was married for the last 10 years of his life. The tempo is quite slow. I like how the backup singers sing her first name before Tom sings both her first and middle names. The chorus dominates most of the song; there's only one verse. As the song fades out, Tom whispers Tricia's name.
Mystery Train (time is questionable; the tape I was given cuts the song off at 1:58) - The tempo is fast, and the guitar licks add a country-western element to the song. In fact, one of my mom's favorite country artists, Emmylou Harris, also sang a version of this song. In the final verse we learn why the train is coming: the narrator's girlfriend has boarded it to come see him.
Deal It Out (3:13) - The tempo is between slow and moderate. During the chorus the drums sound out sixteenth notes 1, 3, and 4 within each first and third beat, quarter beats only on the even-numbered beats. The bass voices of the backup singers sound interesting. It is not clear whether the narrator is expecting fortune or disaster, but he is probably asking Fate to deal out the last card and get it over with.
Open The Window (3:16) - In the first verse the narrator wonders why he treated his girlfriend wrong; now, throughout the song, he feels miserable now that she's gone. As he opens the window to let in the light of the new day, he contemplates the lonely nights without her. The speed of the opening guitar lick leads us to expect a fast tempo, but we get a slow one instead.
You Move Me (4:24) - The opening piano solo reminds me of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock And Roll." The disco tempo is a bit similar, too. As the singing starts, so does the guitar. Tom's vocals on this song are throaty, but he no longer sounds similar to his brother like he did years earlier.
The Secret (2:27) - This song, like the previous one, has a disco tempo. The low-pitched rhythm guitar sounds out every first and second beat. The secret the narrator is confiding is [censored by Matt - after all, it's a secret! ;-)].
Summer Night (4:07) - In this gentle ballad describing the beauty of a summer night, Tom's voice sounds ethereal. In the final verse he wishes that it could be summertime for the whole year. The song ends with a sound effect of rain falling, followed by a long hold of the organ.
