Lodi 2016 sounding a bit different with Fogerty x 2

It's been a few years since I saw John Fogerty live, and apparently he's begun to rearrange at least some of the oldies but goodies he's written and performed for decades now.

He's 71 and this is the way he and his son Shane + band played the 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival song Lodi just a couple of weeks ago in Denver, Colorado:



And just  for comparison the original recording that he's stayed pretty close to all these years:

 

Radio Dupree approves! Do you?

This week: A Creedence Clearwater Revival anniversary!

Just because we like the band. Not because the anniversary changed the planet or music in any way. But still...

This week back in 1970 (the 16 of December to be exact) Creedence Clearwater Revival had not on, not two, not three but four (4) albums certified Gold in the USA.

Bayou Country (1969), Green River (1969), Willy and the Poor Boys (1969) and Cosmo’s Factory (1970). And, yes, those were the days when an artist/a band could release two albums a year. Let's see Taylor Cyrus and Rihanna Swift do that!  

Happy Birthday John Fogerty!

CCR: John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, Tom Fogerty and Stu Cook.

That guy on the left is John Fogerty. He's about 25 years old and the photo is the cover of the single Up Around The Bend by the group Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1970.

It is also my very first rock record after a Swedish kiddie LP and a pop ditto single.
John Fogerty is still making and playing music. A few days ago (May 28) he celebrated his 70th birhday.

A perfect time to add some extra Creedence Clearwater Revival as well as John Fogerty solo stuff to the Radio Dupree playlist during June.

Enjoy.
