RIDIN’ THE WILD STAMPEDE! JOHN FOGERTY RETURNS

After a whirlwind rise and fall as the genius behind Creedence Clearwater Revival, followed by a long, often traumatic hiatus, John Fogerty is finally back on the front-lines with Centerfield, his first album in 10 years.

As a diary of sorts, Centerfield neatly chronicles Fogerty’s musical past and adds a hopeful look into the future. Who can keep their feet from kickin’ up dust when John gets to rockin’ on the chorus of the title cut, “Centerfield” (“Put me in coach, I’m ready to play”!)? In a later verse, you can feel the sense of pride and breakthrough when John sings, “Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all—a moment in the sun.”
