Summary
This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we welcome a true legend to the show, John Fogerty.
John reflects on his incredible career, writing songs that will forever be part of the soundtrack to our lives like 'Proud Mary', 'Fortunate Son', 'Up Around the Bend’, and many many more.
Many of these have been recently re-recorded on a 20 track collection called 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years' which is out now.
John talks about hearing The Stones for the first time, writing Proud Mary, where the name CCR came from and not appearing on the Woodstock soundtrack!
