John Fogerty has followed Taylor Swift‘s lead by re-recording his classic hits and deep cuts from Creedence Clearwater Revival. The 80-year-old rock legend has just shared “John’s Version” recordings of CCR classics “Up Around the Bend,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” and “Porterville.” Those three songs will be included on Fogerty’s upcoming 20-track album, Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, which is set for release on August 22nd via Concord. The project is co-produced by Fogerty and his son Shane, who also plays on the album with his dad alongside his brother, Tyler. Fogerty reclaimed a majority interest in the Creedence Clearwater Revival publishing catalog in 2023, but that deal did not include his master recordings. “For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” Fogerty says in a statement. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that — of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.” (Consequence of Sound)
