John Fogerty: Legacy (2LP)

John Fogerty celebrates the songs that made rock history - on his own terms. For the first time, he owns the full rights to his iconic catalog. "Legacy" is both a celebration and a reclamation. The album features re-recorded versions of his most popular songs and captures Fogerty's raw energy and creative passion - just in time for his 80th birthday. Backed by his family band and buoyed by a new wave of recognition - from his tribute by Bruce Springsteen at the American Music Honors to rousing performances at 2025 JazzFest, Glastonbury, the Hollywood Bowl and more - Fogerty is as powerful and full of life as ever. "Legacy" is not just a tribute to one of rock music's greatest repertoires - it's the sound of an American original taking his place in the spotlight once again. A few words from John: "When I was three years old, my mom sat me down and gave me a little yellow record. There were two songs on that record: 'Oh Susanna' and 'Camp Town Races'. She played them to me and explained that both songs were by Stephen Foster. I've often wondered how my mother felt about this moment - what was she thinking? Because through this little ritual, something very significant happened in my life. A spark was ignited in my soul and my imagination, and I began to pay attention to songs and the craft of songwriting. As I grew older, I was introduced to many great songwriters - some of them were favorites of my mother, many others I discovered on my own. Here's the point: it's about the song. It's about the song. It's about the song. I didn't know if I was going to be a good songwriter - but I knew for sure that's what I wanted! This record is a celebration of my songs - My 'Legacy'."
