John Fogerty announces Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty has announced the release of his new album, Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years.
The 20-track collection features newly recorded versions of Fogerty’s most beloved songs—from “Proud Mary” and “Bad Moon Rising” to “Fortunate Son” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”—marking both a celebration of an iconic catalog and a personal reclamation of artistic ownership. “For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”
New recordings of “Up Around The Bend”, “Have You Ever Seen The Rain”, and “Porterville” are available now.
Produced by Fogerty and his son Shane Fogerty, with executive production by his wife Julie Fogerty, Legacy is a family affair through and through. Julie Fogerty says, “I knew first hand how much it meant for John to get his publishing back. 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.”
Both Shane and his brother Tyler Fogerty perform throughout the album, which was recorded with Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub and Rob Stone.
