John is an inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a stalwart of Cosmic American Music. The latter features a thrilling array of guest artists, including the late Allen Toussaint, Foo Fighters, Bob Seger and Kid Rock. The man’s longevity is rubber-stamped by The Long Road Home – In Concert (2006) while in more recent years The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again and Wrote a Song for Everyone (2013) dovetail a remarkable career. A move to Dreamworks for Déjà Vu All Over Again found Fogerty integrated into the modern world while keeping an eye on the past with his clever writing and superlative guitar work. John’s Centerfield was a massive success and his live album Premonition (1998) placed the old and new repertoires in context with thrilling results. His debut, credited to The Blue Ridge Rangers was essentially a resume of his favourite country songs while his self-titled John Fogerty album returned him to the authentic CCR style. From 1973 on he has made a select number of albums that have kept him to the forefront of roots rock and to some extent he is one of the founding fathers of Americana. In fact, his solo career only proved that he had been the guiding light in Creedence. As the most important member of Creedence Clearwater Revival who were the most successful band in America when at their late 1960s peak John Fogerty would be considered a legend regardless of what he did next.
