An impressive crowd of superstars gathered to honor American veterans at the Concert for Valor in Washington, D.C. yesterday, including Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Zac Brown, who collaborated on a performance of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic 'Fortunate Son.'
Creedence Clearwater Revival enjoyed a banner year in 1969, releasing three classic LPs jam-packed with hits, and they'll commemorate that incredible run with a limited edition release for Record Store Day 2014.
We may never see John Fogerty reunite with his former Creedence Clearwater Revival bandmates Stu Cook and Doug 'Cosmo' Clifford. But for nearly 20 years, Cook and Clifford have been bringing CCR's classics to fans with Creedence Clearwater Revisited.
Several years ago I got a request during 'Open Line Friday' for "Cottonfields" by CCR. As always, I obliged. We live in the cotton capitol of the world, plus it's a GREAT song! Or so I thought...
As promised, John Fogerty has made a stripped-down version of "Fortunate Son" available as a free download at his official website. The version was performed on the series premiere of Fox's The Finder this past Thursday.
