John Fogerty's Legacy Album: Reimagining Creedence Clearwater Revival Classics | 'John's Versions'

Get ready for a musical journey down memory lane! John Fogerty, the legendary musician, is set to release a brand new album filled with re-recorded versions of some of Creedence Clearwater Revival's most beloved songs. Titled 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years', the album is a testament to Fogerty's enduring legacy and his love for the music he created.

Mark your calendars for August 22nd, when this album will drop from Concord, and get ready to groove to the iconic tunes of Creedence Clearwater Revival, reimagined by John Fogerty himself.

During his 80th birthday concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York, Fogerty officially announced the new album, which features 20 songs, including the timeless tracks 'Bad Moon Rising', 'Fortunate Son', 'Down on the Corner', and 'Proud Mary'. But here's the twist: all the songs are labeled with a subtle nod to the famous 'Taylor's Version' moniker, as Fogerty has been releasing his own 'John's Version' of these classics.

These re-recordings are not just about subverting labels, but rather a celebration of Fogerty's life's work and his hard-fought victory in the music business. For decades, Fogerty was entangled in one of the most infamous copyright struggles in music history, trying to win back ownership of his catalog from Saul Zaentz, who owned CCR's record label Fantasy Records. Finally, in 2023, Fogerty secured a deal with Concord, the current owner of Fantasy Records, to buy a majority stake in CCR's publishing catalog.

This win was a significant moment for Fogerty, who finally had full control over the songs he had written for most of his life. 'For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,' Fogerty said in a statement. 'Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that — of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.'

The album was produced by Fogerty and his son, Shane Fogerty, with John's wife and manager, Julie Fogerty, serving as executive producer. Shane and his brother Tyler Fogerty, along with Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub, and Rob Stone, contribute to the album's sound. The album is a true labor of love, reflecting Fogerty's joy and gratitude for his music and his newfound ownership.

'I knew firsthand how much it meant for John to get his publishing back,' Julie Fogerty said. 'It has been so joyful and beautiful since this happened for him. This is a celebration of his life's work. It is the biggest party for the good guy/artist winning.'

So, get ready to rock out to the 'John's Versions' of Creedence Clearwater Revival's classics, and celebrate the music of John Fogerty like never before!
