John Fogerty-Wrote a Song for Everyone (2013)

More than forty years after leaving Creedence Clearwater Revival, the charismatic John Fogerty returns to the stage with a new album featuring some of his iconic songs alongside the legendary American band. This time, the guitarist enlists a series of renowned singers to create a work that playfully and engagingly revisits contemporary classics such as "Fortunate Son" sung by Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" with Alan Jackson, "Who'll Stop the Rain" sung by the incomparable Bob Seger, "Lodi" with his sons Shane and Tyler Fogerty, "Born on the Bayou" sung by Kid Rock, and "Bad Moon Rising" with the Zac Brown Band. In each of these renditions, the unique voices of the singers lend a highly personal touch to the songs, yet despite all this, they don't quite surpass the legendary originals.
