John Fogerty has rerecorded an album’s worth of Creedence Clearwater Revival classics for an upcoming collection, Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years<\/em>, which will be released on August 22 via Concord.<\/p>\n

In a clear reference to pop icon Taylor Swift, who has released “Taylor’s Version” remakes of four of her albums after being unable to purchase the rights to the original recordings, Fogerty is calling his remakes “John’s Versions”, although, unlike Swift, he does<\/em> own his own masters.<\/p>\n

“For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy<\/em> is my way of celebrating that \u2013 of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”<\/p>\n

Those people include Fogerty’s sons Shane and Tyler \u2013 both guitarists \u2013 as well as drummer Matt Chamberlain, keyboardist Bob Malone, bassist Bob Glaub and saxophonist Rob Stone. Shane also co-produced the album with his father, while executive producer duties were carried out by Fogerty Sr.’s wife Julie.<\/p>\n

“I knew first-hand how much it meant for John to get his publishing back,” says Julie. “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.”<\/p>\n

The first fruits of Fogerty’s labours are now available, with new versions of Creedence’s Up Around The Bend<\/em> and Have You Ever Seen The Rain<\/em> on streaming platforms now, as well as a John’s Version remake of Porterville<\/em>, originally recorded by Creedence under their original name of The Golliwogs in 1967. All three tracks are below, as well as the album’s tracklisting.<\/p>\n

In early 2023, Fogerty won control over his back catalogue after a legal battle that’d taken five decades to reach its conclusion.<\/p>\n

“This is something I thought would never be a possibility,” said Fogerty at the time. “After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my songs. I also have a say in where and how my songs are used. Up until this year, that is something I have never been able to do.”<\/p>\n

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years is <\/em>available to pre-order now. <\/em>Fogerty plays the second of two shows to mark his 80th birthday this evening (May 29) at New York’s Beacon Theatre and will play the UK’s Glastonbury Festival in June. Full dates below.<\/p>\n
