First let me say I think John Fogerty is one of the all time great voices in Rock and Roll. I loved CCR and I think Premonition is a great CD but let's get real. I had great expectations for Revival but one listen and it goes into the case to rarely be played again. Listening to it will only piss me off. Flower power was great when we were 25 and thought that the world would like us if only we were nicer. Enough with the rock stars who haven't matured past the stage of naivety. There are bad folks out there and they want us dead for no bigger sin than envy. I am an American and proud to be so. I am also a veteran and have served my country. I am not sure what qualifies the singer as an expert on foreign or domestic policy.
When we were young we all thought we had the answers. It was all black and white. We were so sure we were right that we were incredulous that the world just wouldn't listen to us. Then we grew up. At least some of us did. If you're in show business however you don't have to. You still have all the answers.
Great ! Live in your dream world. Remember however that there are some of us out here who have to live in the real world and we just want you to entertain us to take our minds off of our everyday trials and tribulations of trying to be good citizens, husbands, fathers, and grandfathers. We love rock and roll. We want to rock, not be lectured to by someone who's expertise on these matters is no more than our own.
John, not all rock and roll fans are liberals.

This is another great CD by John Fogerty. It has hints of CCR but for the most part all Fogerty. If you like CCR or Fogety your collection won't be compete without this CD. Free Music Review: Fogerty's Back

Hard to believe, but John Fogerty is his old self again. He's shelved his acrimonious differences with former bandmates and record labels and gotten back to what he does best - writing great heartland rock songs. Fogerty hasn't sounded this enlivened since his Creedence heyday. I thought his "Centerfield" album was good, but this is even way better.
For a famous roots rocker, he draws inspiration from some interesting sources. "Summer Of Love" sounds like a hybrid pastiche of Cream's "White Room", Hendrix's "Foxy Lady", and the Doors' "Hello, I Love You". "Somebody Help Me" also seems influenced by these same artists. With its laundry-list lyrics of Bush administration failures, "Long Dark Night" is a nod to Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues". "I Can't Take It No More" is another anti-Bush diatribe that clocks in at just over a minute and a half, and reminds me of "Judy Is A Punk" by the Ramones. Is it possible Fogerty's been listening to them? Equally unlikely, the album closer "Longshot" borrows the riff from Deep Purple's "Woman From Tokyo".
Whatever it is he's doing or listening to - it's working for him. His voice is as good as ever, and all the songs still come out sounding like vintage Fogerty. This is a masterful return to form, and one of the best rock albums of recent years.
