While I’m not a fan of similar “special guests” albums (Ray Davies did one a few years ago), nor of his conspicously-dyed hair and traces of plastic surgery (sigh), the great John Fogerty nonetheless has a new album coming out (“One album, sixteen special guests, two brand new songsā¦”)
I’m a huge CCR fan, and I would’ve totally ignored this album, save for David Fricke’s 5/5 stars review in Rolling Stone and this snippet of a redone ‘Born on the Bayou’, showcasing just how intact JC’s vocal stylings are. (And there’s Dave Grohl again… Are there any of my musical heroes he hasn’t played with yet?)
