John Fogerty

John Fogerty – John Fogerty's contribution to popular culture cannot be overstated; his songs have become part of rock’s DNA, the very building blocks upon which much of American rock and roll has been built. As famous for his time with the classic rock-blues band Creedence Clearwater Revival from the late-1950s until its demise in 1972 as he is for his following solo career, Fogerty is the writer of such rock classics as "Proud Mary", "Centerfield", "Bad Moon Rising", "Rockin' All Over the World", "Born on the Bayou" and "Fortunate Son".

2007’s Revival is Fogerty’s first album of new material on Fantasy following a very public 30-year battle with the label over his catalogue. The reconciliation led to the first complete retrospective of his career, The Long Road Home, which came out in late-2005. Fogerty was inducted into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 and was honoured as a composer with the 1997 Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Songwriters.

His 1997 album, Blue Moon Swamp, won the Grammy for Best Rock Album. Revival is not just a great Fogerty album ­– and a great rock album – it's an essential musical work by an artist without peers, which will certainly stand as one of the most compelling albums of 2007.
