John Fogerty: Somehow Underrated? / Ep. 66

John Fogerty's influence in rock music is somehow underrated - he's a quiet titan of rock and roll. The rocket blast that was CCR was short (around 1968-72), and he took long breaks from his music. He was burned by a contract held by a man, according to Fogerty, who stole royalties and made bad investments with their money, and held all the rights to those CCR songs - rights taken when the band broke up and Fogerty needed to get out of the contract.

And because of him stepping away from music on two different occasions, John Fogerty might not get the credit deserved for creating what's Americana music.

His original label, Fantasy Records, which owned the group's distribution and publishing rights, was sold to Concord Records in 2004. That company recently sold Fogerty back his catalog of CCR songs, though Concord retains the CCR master recordings already in its catalogue

That’s where the story twists to 2025 and why Fogerty has pulled a Taylor Swift move, to re-record, for an album called Legacy, his CCR music to have those recordings as his to do as he wishes. And that album sounds damn good. We listen to some of his solo work, including his woeful 80's output, and his (pretty good) new records since 1997.

John rocks. Join us for the ride.
