Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

John Fogerty's New Album

Always a greatday for me when John Fogerty comes out with a new album, and this last September was one of those times. Makes my day.

The new album is called "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again" and this is from a review by Tribune Newspapers critic Greg Kot.

After Creedence Clearwater Revival broke up, Fogerty released a solo album called "Blue Ridge Rangers" of his country favorites that served as an introduction to the music that shaped his songwriting and style.

He updates the idea with this new one. I went out and bought it the first day it was released. Who would have figured he could have done such a great job on diverse songs like "Heaven's Just a Sin Away" by the Kendalls and "Moody River" by Pat Boone. Probably the strangest is Gene Simmons' "Haunted House."

This was a lot of fun music. The only shortcoming was that there were only 12 songs. Twenty would have been much better.

Song List

Paradise
Never Ending Song of Love
Garden Party
I Don't Care (Just As Long As You Love Me)
Back Home Again
I'll Be There
Change in the Weather
Moody River
Heaven's Just a Sin Away
Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'
Haunted House
When Will I Be Loved
