BIOGRAPHY/AMG
William Ruhlmann
John Cameron Fogerty achieved fame as the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival and has since gone on to a chart-topping solo career. Born in Berkeley, California, Fogerty and his brother Tom organized the group that would become Creedence as the Golliwogs in the late '50s. As Creedence, they released nine Top Ten singles, all written by Fogerty, between 1969 and 1971, starting with the standard "Proud Mary." They also scored eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972, all fueled by Fogerty's simple, driving rock songs and his burly baritone, intoning deceptively poetic ("Bad Moon Rising") and even political ("Fortunate Son") lyrics.

Creedence split up in 1972. Fogerty at first confused his considerable following by releasing an album of covers, on which he played all the instruments, under the name the Blue Ridge Rangers in 1973. This was followed by a formal solo album, John Fogerty, in 1975, and then silence for more than nine years while the artist worked out business problems with Creedence's old label. But Fogerty returned at the end of 1984 with a Top Ten single, "The Old Man Down the Road," and a number one album, Centerfield. Eye of the Zombie was a less successful follow-up in 1986. Following the failure of Eye of the Zombie, Fogerty went into seclusion. For the next 11 years he remained quiet, finally resurfacing in 1997 with Blue Moon Swamp; the live Premonition appeared just a year later. In 2005 he released the Long Road Home: The Ultimate John Fogerty/Creedence Collection and its accompanying DVD Long Road Home: In Concert, the first compilation of its kind to feature both CCR classics and Fogerty's solo work. After a number of concert appearances, Fogerty released Revival in 2007. Revival was warmly received, debuting at 14 on Billboard and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, and Fogerty followed it in 2009 with The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again, a loose sequel to his bluegrass-flavored 1973 pseudo-solo debut. Over the next few years, Fogerty toured with regularity and then he launched the ambitious Wrote a Song for Everyone project in 2011, an album where he paired up with other singers to perform songs from his catalog. The record -- featuring such stars as Bob Seger, Alan Jackson, Foo Fighters, Miranda Lambert, and Brad Paisley -- was released in May of 2013.

REVIEW / AMG
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The Long Road Home: In Concert is a double-CD companion piece to the live DVD of the same name released in the summer of 2006. Appearing a couple months after the DVD, the CD has the same tracks in the same sequencing as the DVD, capturing the September 15, 2005, concert at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in its entirety. In either incarnation, this is one terrifically entertaining performance, a spirited stroll through Fogerty's back catalog inspired by his excellent 2005 compilation, The Long Road Home, which was the first collection to contain music from both his years as Creedence Clearwater Revival's leader and as a solo act. Although the original recordings, particularly the CCR sides, remain definitive, the concert in a way makes a stronger argument than the comp for the common threads within Fogerty's body of work, since the newer tunes sit side by side with the classics, all performed by his crackerjack band featuring guitarists Bob Britt and Billy Burnette. Here, recent songs like "Hot Rod Heart," "Rambunctious Boy," and "Déjà Vu (All Over Again)" fit comfortably alongside "Green River," "Lodi," "Centerfield," "Fortunate Son," and "Proud Mary," among other Fogerty standards, because there is no difference in the sound of the recordings; it's just this terrific band playing, and the crisp and muscular performances illustrate that there's not a great difference between the rockabilly of "Blue Moon Nights" and "Looking Out My Back Door." That small but important revelation is what makes The Long Road Home: In Concert, in either its video or audio incarnation, a cut above the average live album.

On Wrote a Song for Everyone, John Fogerty walks through his back pages with a lot of help from his friends. He's enlisted all manner of musicians here, from classic rock peers like Bob Seger to new country superstars Brad Paisley and Miranda Lambert, alt-rockers Foo Fighters and My Morning Jacket, blue-collar rocker Kid Rock, and soul belter Jennifer Hudson.

BIOGRAPHY
by William Ruhlmann / AMG
John Cameron Fogerty achieved fame as the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival and has since gone on to a chart-topping solo career. Born in Berkeley, California, Fogerty and his brother Tom organized the group that would become Creedence as the Golliwogs in the late '50s. As Creedence, they released nine Top Ten singles, all written by Fogerty, between 1969 and 1971, starting with the standard "Proud Mary." They also scored eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972, all fueled by Fogerty's simple, driving rock songs and his burly baritone, intoning deceptively poetic ("Bad Moon Rising") and even political ("Fortunate Son") lyrics.
Creedence split up in 1972. Fogerty at first confused his considerable following by releasing an album of covers, on which he played all the instruments, under the name the Blue Ridge Rangers in 1973. This was followed by a formal solo album, John Fogerty, in 1975, and then silence for more than nine years while the artist worked out business problems with Creedence's old label. But Fogerty returned at the end of 1984 with a Top Ten single, "The Old Man Down the Road," and a number one album, Centerfield. Eye of the Zombie was a less successful follow-up in 1986. Following the failure of Eye of the Zombie, Fogerty went into seclusion. For the next 11 years he remained quiet, finally resurfacing in 1997 with Blue Moon Swamp; the live Premonition appeared just a year later. In 2005 he released the Long Road Home: The Ultimate John Fogerty/Creedence Collection and its accompanying DVD Long Road Home: In Concert, the first compilation of its kind to feature both CCR classics and Fogerty's solo work. After a number of concert appearances, Fogerty released Revival in 2007. Revival was warmly received, debuting at 14 on Billboard and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, and Fogerty followed it in 2009 with The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again, a loose sequel to his bluegrass-flavored 1973 pseudo-solo debut.

"HOODOO" - The Album From John Fogerty That Never Was
"Hoodoo" is the album from John Fogerty that never was. Some background information to show how this situation occured is in order. When Creedence Clearwater Revival split up in 1972, John Fogerty began recording a solo album of covers of some of his favorite tunes. Thinking at the time that releasing the album under his own name would cause people to not judge the album on its own merit, Fogerty released the album under the alias of The Blue Ridge Rangers. The only place on the album Fogerty's name appeared was in the small print on the back as "Arranged and produced by John Fogerty".

While the "Rangers" album was and is a "cult" classic, it was overlooked for the most part by the general public. Despite wide airplay of a couple of singles from the album ("Jambalaya", "Hearts Of Stone") Fogerty's first solo effort while still at Fantasy Records did not garner the sales or audience expected. Fogerty released two more singles while at Fantasy. "You Don't Owe Me" b/w "Back In The Hills" were original Fogerty tunes, released under the Blue Ridge Rangers name. "You Don't Owe Me" received some airplay in the USA. Radio station programmers had a hard time classifying these tunes; were they country, or rockabilly, or what? Fogerty's next release, the first time John Fogerty was listed as the artist instead of "The Blue Ridge Rangers" was another original, "Comin' Down The Road" b/w a hot instrumental tune, "Richochet". The quality of the pressing of this Fantasy single was awful, the sound was so bad radio stations refused to play it. This crippled any chances that the catchy "Comin' Down The Road" might have had, and this fact did not go unnoticed by Fogerty.

At this point, burdened and frustrated with Fantasy Records over royalties, contract hassles, and musical stagnation, Fogerty simply stopped making records. Warner Brothers honcho David Geffen contacted Fogerty, and made a deal to get him released from his Fantasy contracts. Geffen signed Fogerty to the Elektra/Asylum label of Warner. The first result was the 1975 LP, simply titled 'John Fogerty'. This album can best be described a flawed record from a great artist. There are several songs that almost cross the line into the area of Fogerty at his best, most notably "Dream/Song", a loping "Lodi" style tune which easily tops all the other songs on the LP. Fogerty's weakness on this album is twofold. His drumming and bass playing are just not strong enough, the drumming in particular is timid. This initial solo effort by Fogerty after leaving Fantasy is nontheless an enjoyable mish mosh of styles, led by Fogerty's incredible vocals.

In mid 1976, Fogerty had enough material for a followup record to his self-titled 1975 release. The 1975 album drew mixed reviews from fans and critics, and was not a big seller. Early in 1976 Fogerty released a single, "You Got The Magic" (b/w "Evil Thing"). "You Got The Magic" got moderate airplay in the US during the "disco duck" era. These two songs, plus seven others were to collectively be the "Hoodoo" album.

"You Got The Magic", despite critical acclaim and widespread radio airplay, was not a success. Fogerty's own admission of a lack of musical confidence convinced Warner Brothers Records boss Joe Smith to have a talk with Fogerty. According to published accounts, Smith had doubts about the album's quality. Smith played the LP with Fogerty in his office, and said, "Look John, this is just not a good record. We'll put it out if you really want us to, but we'd rather not." (This is documented in the April 1985 issue of "Guitar Player" magazine.) Fogerty was known to be still tweaking the"Hoodoo" material as late as 1978-1980.

One must listen to "Hoodoo" with a remembrance of the musical scene in 1976. Discos and leisure suits ruled. Musically, only Bob Seger and the Stones were producing anything halfway decent. It would seem an ideal time for John Fogerty to return and rescue rock n' roll. Unfortunately, Fogerty was in the midst of a continuing legal battle with Fantasy, his old record label. His writing and musicianship suffered greatly due to this.

"Hoodoo" gives us flashes of recurring themes in Fogerty's music and lyrics, both in the past and yet to come. "Hoodoo" is driven by a compressed Telecaster guitar sound so prominent on "Centerfield", with the emphasis on the low strings. There are horns and a sax solo, Hammond B3 organ, Farfisa "surf" organ, and a honkey tonk piano thrown in along with a banjo. Fogerty even makes use of the dated and dreaded "wah-wah" pedal, and the Heil "Talk Box", as made famous by Steppenwolf's John Kay, Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton. Fogerty's voice is very strong throughout the album. Here is a review of "Hoodoo" song by song.

"You Got The Magic" - One of only two songs ever commercially distributed from the album (as a single), it has a memorable, haunting intro. This powerful introduction builds into pure John Fogerty, with lyrical references to "shadows of night" and "faces in the fire". Overdubbed guitar riffs abound in classic Fogerty fashion, and a Farfisa organ thrown into the mix adds to the overall weirdness the song speaks of. The screaming lead guitar solo is one of Fogerty's better thought out riffs. This tune indeed has "the magic".

"Between The Lines" - This song has a Dylan-esque organ and lead guitar duet driven rhythm, and features Fogerty's strong vocals. Not your typical Fogerty rocker, this ambling piece nevertheless is captivating with its mournful paranoid lyrics. With plenty of Telecaster low string guitar licks filling in at just the right time, this song sounds uncannily like a modern era Bruce Springsteen tune. Fogerty's pathos ridden lyrics are highlighted by a minor chord chorus thrown in for good measure. Although a sloppy snare drum roll ends this tune (ringing vocals and guitar would have made a better ending) this cut is my favorite from the "Hoodoo" album.

"Leave My Woman Alone" - An altogether different arrangement than heard on his 1985 "John Fogerty's All Stars" TV special. This version has stronger guitars, and an annoying "fuzz" bass sound popular at the time. The lead vocals and harmonies are subpar in comparison to the "All Stars" version. Aside from a decent Telecaster lead guitar break reminiscent of a Steve Cropper (Booker T & The MG's) solo, this song is weak. Fogerty's arrangement is to blame; the tune is overplayed and overproduced.

Marchin' To Blarney" - Whew! Boy was I glad to find out this one is an instrumental. With a drum introduction that makes you fear the sound of bagpipes to follow, this tune winds up being a Telecaster overdub showcase for one of Fogerty's catchy guitar licks. With some banjo and a number of other instruments nicely blended in the music, this is a very listenable tune.

"Hoodoo Man" - Fast paced and suitably lyrically spooky, this rocker is prime John Fogerty. If Fogerty had left out the "Money, Money" derivitive guitar riff in the intro and produced a more inventive lead guitar solo, this song would be even better. Noteworthy is the Gibson Les Paul Custom neck pickup lead guitar riffs here that Fogerty later put to good use on "The Old Man Down The Road" (played on a Washburn guitar). A bit of the "talk box" guitar sound is on this cut also.

"Telephone" - Another highlight, this Motown sound influenced tune again showcases the vocals of Fogerty. With several unexpected turns and chord changes, Fogerty keeps this tune lively. It would not be hard to imagine Al Green singing this song. Punctuated by a tasteful saxophone solo by Fogerty, this is one more tune that shoulda been out there. The only negative is the electronic or "fuzz" bass again in use here.

"Evil Thing" - The "B" side of the released single "You Got The Magic". This cut suffers from the use of an electronic bass and wah-wah pedal guitar. Lyrically, it is another of Fogerty's well conceived paranoid pieces, this time about a love affair gone astray, one of the few times Fogerty has ever written about man/woman relationships. Sadly, the catchy lyrics are overcome by overdone instrument playing, notably the wah-wah guitar and a chunky keyboard bass sound. The drumming is also lackluster.

"Henrietta" - Let's rock. You can hear Fogerty's trademark method of counting off the start of a song here (1,2, 1-2-3-4) and away we go on "Hoodoo's" most satisfying pure rock n' roll cut. This song is a basic three chord rocker, but leave it to Fogerty to throw in a few curves here and there to make it unique. This cut is where the "talk-box" is notably used by Fogerty. Thankfully, he doesn't attempt to speak with it, but uses it more like Joe Walsh ("Rocky Mountain Way") or John Kay & Steppenwolf ("Hey Lawdy Mama"). With the great rhythm section, honkey tonk piano and rocking guitars combined with strong vocals, this one is a keeper.

"On The Run" - The last cut again showcases the vocal magic John Fogerty possesses. Soulfully sung, this tune starts out quiet, and builds to a nice paced number. Fogerty's bass playing and drumming are on the mark on this uptempo cut. With a clever bridge lyrically and musically, the song remains interesting. Fogerty fades out this cut normally, and then roars back into a final few bars of vintage Fogerty guitar jam in another key to fadeout.

The question remains, should "Hoodoo" have been released? Fogerty has stated he was lost musically and basically grabbing at straws (thus the wah-wah pedals and other gimmicks). I think the record needed a bit of polishing before it was released. The drum rolls at the end of "Between The Lines", a bit different and stronger intro to "Hoodoo Man", drop "Leave My Woman Alone", and add another song from the library. A little editing and remixing here and there on some other cuts and you'd have a decent record. With that in mind, I believe the album is strong enough to have been released. It is indeed interesting to hear the primordial soup from which the album "Centerfield" came. I hope John re-records "Between The Lines" and "Hoodoo Man" on a future release.

REVIEW
By Wikipedia
Hoodoo is an unreleased studio album by John Fogerty. It was recorded in the late spring of 1976 and intended to be his third solo album.
History
After the John Fogerty solo album, Fogerty wasted no time in recording more material for a new album to be followed with a tour, which would be very low-key, with a small group of musicians.[1] In April, 1976, he released a new single, "You Got the Magic" backed with "Evil Thing," which barely made it to the charts (#87 on the Billboard Hot 100) and did not sell a great deal. Fogerty submitted Hoodoo to Asylum Records, which assigned it a catalogue number, 7E-1081. Shortly before shipment, however, Fogerty and Asylum's Joe Smith made a joint decision that the album didn't merit release. After several unsuccessful attempts to improve the album's quality, Fogerty began a nine-year estrangement from the music industry. He has confirmed in interviews that he instructed Asylum to destroy the master tapes, but bootleg copies are widespread.

The Long Road Home: In Concert is a double-CD companion piece to the live DVD of the same name released in the summer of 2006. Appearing a couple months after the DVD, the CD has the same tracks in the same sequencing as the DVD, capturing the September 15, 2005, concert at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in its entirety. In either incarnation, this is one terrifically entertaining performance, a spirited stroll through Fogerty's back catalog inspired by his excellent 2005 compilation, The Long Road Home, which was the first collection to contain music from both his years as Creedence Clearwater Revival's leader and as a solo act. Although the original recordings, particularly the CCR sides, remain definitive, the concert in a way makes a stronger argument than the comp for the common threads within Fogerty's body of work, since the newer tunes sit side by side with the classics, all performed by his crackerjack band featuring guitarists Bob Britt and Billy Burnette. Here, recent songs like "Hot Rod Heart," "Rambunctious Boy," and "Déjà Vu (All Over Again)" fit comfortably alongside "Green River," "Lodi," "Centerfield," "Fortunate Son," and "Proud Mary," among other Fogerty standards, because there is no difference in the sound of the recordings; it's just this terrific band playing, and the crisp and muscular performances illustrate that there's not a great difference between the rockabilly of "Blue Moon Nights" and "Looking Out My Back Door." That small but important revelation is what makes The Long Road Home: In Concert, in either its video or audio incarnation, a cut above the average live album.

In either incarnation, this is one terrifically entertaining performance, a spirited stroll through Fogerty's back catalog inspired by his excellent 2005 compilation, The Long Road Home, which was the first collection to contain music from both his years as Creedence Clearwater Revival's leader and as a solo act. Although the original recordings, particularly the CCR sides, remain definitive, the concert in a way makes a stronger argument than the comp for the common threads within Fogerty's body of work, since the newer tunes sit side by side with the classics, all performed by his crackerjack band featuring guitarists Bob Britt and Billy Burnette. Here, recent songs like "Hot Rod Heart," "Rambunctious Boy," and "Déjà Vu (All Over Again)" fit comfortably alongside "Green River," "Lodi," "Centerfield," "Fortunate Son," and "Proud Mary," among other Fogerty standards, because there is no difference in the sound of the recordings; it's just this terrific band playing, and the crisp and muscular performances illustrate that there's not a great difference between the rockabilly of "Blue Moon Nights" and "Looking Out My Back Door." That small but important revelation is what makes The Long Road Home: In Concert, in either its video or audio incarnation, a cut above the average live album.

BIOGRAPHY
by William Ruhlmann
John Cameron Fogerty achieved fame as the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival and has since gone on to a chart-topping solo career. Born in Berkeley, California, Fogerty and his brother Tom organized the group that would become Creedence as the Golliwogs in the late '50s. As Creedence, they released nine Top Ten singles, all written by Fogerty, between 1969 and 1971, starting with the standard "Proud Mary." They also scored eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972, all fueled by Fogerty's simple, driving rock songs and his burly baritone, intoning deceptively poetic ("Bad Moon Rising") and even political ("Fortunate Son") lyrics.
Creedence split up in 1972. Fogerty at first confused his considerable following by releasing an album of covers, on which he played all the instruments, under the name the Blue Ridge Rangers in 1973. This was followed by a formal solo album, John Fogerty, in 1975, and then silence for more than nine years while the artist worked out business problems with Creedence's old label. But Fogerty returned at the end of 1984 with a Top Ten single, "The Old Man Down the Road," and a number one album, Centerfield. Eye of the Zombie was a less successful follow-up in 1986. Following the failure of Eye of the Zombie, Fogerty went into seclusion. For the next 11 years he remained quiet, finally resurfacing in 1997 with Blue Moon Swamp; the live Premonition appeared just a year later. In 2005 he released the Long Road Home: The Ultimate John Fogerty/Creedence Collection and its accompanying DVD Long Road Home: In Concert, the first compilation of its kind to feature both CCR classics and Fogerty's solo work. After a number of concert appearances, Fogerty released Revival in 2007. Revival was warmly received, debuting at 14 on Billboard and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, and Fogerty followed it in 2009 with The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again, a loose sequel to his bluegrass-flavored 1973 pseudo-solo debut. Over the next few years, Fogerty toured with regularity and then he launched the ambitious Wrote a Song for Everyone project in 2011, an album where he paired up with other singers to perform songs from his catalog. The record -- featuring such stars as Bob Seger, Alan Jackson, Foo Fighters, Miranda Lambert, and Brad Paisley -- was released in May of 2013.

REVIEW
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
John Fogerty pulled himself out of the game sometime after his 1976 album Hoodoo failed to materialize and he sat on the bench for a full decade, returning in the thick of the Reagan era with Centerfield in 1985. For as knowingly nostalgic as Centerfield is, deliberately mining from Fogerty’s childhood memories and consciously referencing his older tunes, the album is steeped in the mid-‘80s, propelled too often by electronic drums -- the title track has a particularly egregious use of synthesized handclaps -- occasionally colored by synths and always relying on the wide-open production that characterized the ‘80s…plus, there’s no denying that this is the work of a middle-aged baby boomer, romanticizing TV, rockabilly, baseball, and rock & roll girls. Since Fogerty always romanticized a past he never lived, these sepia tones suit him, but it also helps that he’s written a clutch of terrific songs: that giddy ode to his beloved game, the equally sunny rocker “Rock and Roll Girls,” the snappy Sun tribute “Big Train from Memphis,” the gently swaying “I Saw It on T.V.,” the rip-roaring “I Can’t Help Myself” (only slightly undone by its hyperactive drum programming) and, of course, “The Old Man Down the Road,” a callback to CCR’s spooky swamp rock so successful that Saul Zaentz, the then-president of Fogerty’s former label Fantasy, sued John for plagiarizing himself. Of course, Zaentz’s ire was likely piqued by Fogerty baiting the record label president on no less than two songs on this slim nine-track LP: Fogerty howls against “Mr. Greed” and taunts that “Zanz Kant Danz but he’ll steal your money,” a potshot so direct he had to retitle it “Vanz Kant Danz” on subsequent pressings. Perhaps Fogerty’s anger is justified -- he had to give up his rights to CCR songs as a condition of leaving Fantasy -- but it’s not articulated well in song, adding a slight unwelcome sourness to an album that’s otherwise a cheerful, glorious comeback. (The 25th Anniversary Edition of Centerfield adds two bonus tracks, “My Toot Toot” and “I Confess,” two covers that were issued as B-sides for singles from Fogerty’s subsequent album, 1986’s Eye of the Zombie.)

REVIEW
36 years after the release of his first solo album "The Blue Ridge Rangers" the rock legend returns to his country roots with special guests Bruce Springsteen and Don Henley.
In 1973, John Fogerty released his solo debut album, "The Blue Ridge Rangers" – a collection of country, rock and gospel covers- every instrument and every vocal part belonging to John. On September 1st, John’s back with a whole new collection of favorite tunes, with "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again".
The record is produced and arranged by Fogerty, but this time around, he brings some friends into the studio to help out with the playing and singing.
Among them, Timothy B. Schmidt and Don Henley on Rick Nelson’s “Garden Party”, and one Bruce Springsteen on the Everly Brothers classic “When Will I Be Loved”.
