John Fogerty kicks off his fall tour beginning in November in support of his upcoming CD release, Revival, on October 2nd. Here’s the press release, with audio links…
John Fogerty, whose searing new album Revival is out October 2 on Fantasy Records, will kick off a Fall tour at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on November 2. Fogerty will bring with him songs from ‘Revival,’ which USAToday says “evokes the swamp pop, rockabilly stomp and guitar chomp of his Creedence Clearwater Revival heyday,”as well as classics from his deep Creedence and solo catalog. The same day Revival hits stores; Fogerty will appear on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Revival, Fogerty’s first album of new material on Fantasy, represents a renewed musical spirit and heart. Standout tracks include the hopeful first single “Don’t You Wish It Was True”, “Gunslinger,” with it’s cinematic western-theme evoking vintage-era Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the deliciously swampy “Creedence Song,” where Fogerty correctly and humorously concludes, “You can’t go wrong, if you play a little bit of that Creedence song.”
Many of Fogerty’s musical influences are apparent on ‘Revival’, including the gospel influenced “River Is Waiting” and the deeply personal country flavored “Broken Down Cowboy.” Fogerty also weighs in on the current administration with the rollicking, biting “Long Dark Night” and “I Can’t Take It No More.”
