Not as good as BMS, but still good.īRR Rides Again and Wrote a Song for Everyone - Have not heard. Revival - It's okay, and I love the fire in his belly. "Blue Moon Nights," "Southern Streamline," and "Hot Rod Heart" stand-out to me.ĭeja Vu - N/A (Have not heard all the way through, but I LOVE the title-track). "Soda Pop" is horrendous.īlue Moon Swamp - Country-pop with a shine in the production over it- it's a bit brash and loud in some parts, but it's an absolute delight to listen to. Apart from "Change in the Weather" and "Knockin' On Your Door," I find most of this one somewhat forgettable. Some of his best lyrical moments ("I Saw It on T.V."), and definitely the better companion to Born in the USA.Įye of the Zombie - I wish I could love this album but I just don't. "On the Run" has slowly become my favorite of all his (solo) songs.Ĭenterfield - Classic 80s pop fun without sacrificing quality. It was far too short and deserved to be scrapped for that reason alone, but I'm still praying for a lost tape of it somewhere. It's the first time John went pop, and it's tragically underrated. John Fogerty - This one has some real classics on it. A decent way to say goodnight to the CCR days. Not his most enjoyable work overall, but it's impressive what he was able to do alone. That said, I still adore him.īlue Ridge Rangers - A musical triumph for the man. Overall assessment: John Fogerty has always been stuck between major bravado and complete lack of confidence and direction, and his discography has a very poor flow. Would be fun to see if there are others who also value this stuff It s a brilliant listening from start to finishĪll in all there s obvious there are lot s of stuff here to like-at least for me. Creedence classics, solosongs and some great new songs performed with a legion of other artists.

Wrote a song for everyone 5- Usually I don t like duets albums but this one is truly great. A nice version of Rick Nelssons Garden Party though The Blue Ridge Rangers rides again 3-A late follow up that is pleasant but not much more. Some more average stuff prevents me from giving it 5 It s a brilliant rock-album with mostly great songs. Revival 4-Sounding more like Creedence than ever. But whats good is good and certanely some of Johns happiest songs like Sugar Sugar and Rhubarb Pie Otherwise perhaps a bit if to many style to sence a real direction. Hot Ros heart, A hundred and ten in the shade, Southern streamline and Swamp river days are all examples of american rock at it s very bestĭeja Vu all over again4- The title song is one of Johns best ever-brilliant to the bone. Great songs and great guitars all over the place. Contains some brilliant stuff but unfortunately also some lesser ones plagued by that eighties soundīlue Moon Swamp5- Imo Johns best solo-album, one of the best rock-albums of the nineties and just as good as CCR-s album. Also contains some more generic stuffĮye of the Zombie 3- A very dark, angry and political albums. The good stuff there are really good classic Fogerty like the title track, Old man and Big wheels from Memphis. Unfortunately out of print and largely forgottenĬentrefield 4-The big comeback and contains at least one big hit. Contains some classic songs like Rockin all over the world and Almost saturday night and a few others that should be classics. J C Fogerty 5- another do it all yourself album that for me belongs to the top of everything John ever did-including CCR. I have always liked this album-one that turned me on to american roots music. I grade them from 1-5īlue Ridge Rangers 4- A cover album where John does it all himself. In the following I will try and rank and give some impressions of the albums. Unfortunately writers block, personal issues and legal battles have made the solo-stuff rather thin when it comes to quantity but there is lot s of quality stuff within these legacy. Of course their legacy and sucess during a few short years are unique but I personally have enjoyed some of his solo-stuff just as much. Somehow I get the feeling many believe Johns Fogertys post-creedence work is far inferior than the work of CCR. There are a few threads here discussing CCR and different bandmembers contribution to the bands sucess.
