When the great blues guitarman Freddie King covered this tune it was given the title "Lowdown in Lodi" probably because Freddie didn't realize Lodi was a location and sings "Stuck in lowdown again".
He keeps the basic melody but makes an overall impressionist interpretation of the song, conveying the "musician fallen on hard times" sentiments while straying from the original CCR lyrics.
