John Fogerty-John Fogerty (1975)

It took John Fogerty three years to release his first solo album after leaving Creedence Clearwater Revival, aside from his short-lived project, The Blue Ridge Rangers, released the previous year. On this album, Fogerty returns to the swampy, raw rock of his original band, leaving behind the traditional country and folk sounds of The Blue Ridge Rangers. Here, he amply demonstrates that he was the heart and soul of Creedence, producing an album almost on par with his best work with the group. Composed of songs written by Fogerty, as well as several covers, the guitarist, singer, and songwriter crafts an immeasurable work featuring the catchy "Almost Saturday Night", the well-known and rock classic "Rockin' All Over The World", the jazzy "You Rascal You", the swampy "The Wall" and "Dream Song", and the melodic, country-tinged "Where The River Flows".
