John Fogerty Re-Records CCR Classics He Now Fully Owns For ‘Legacy’ Collection

John Fogerty is set to release his album Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years on August 22 via Concord. The influential rocker previewed the record of his reimagined CCR songs, which he now fully owns the rights to, with three tracks: “Up Around The Bend,” “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” and “Porterville.”

Fogerty gained ownership of his catalog in 2023. “For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” Fogerty stated. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”

Fogerty announced Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years last night (May 28) during his 80th birthday concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The 20-track collection — including favorites such as “Fortunate Son,” “Proud Mary,” “Green River” and more — was produced by John and his son Shane Fogerty, who also plays on the album alongside his brother Tyler Fogerty. John’s wife Julie Fogerty serves as executive producer.

“I knew first hand how much it meant for John to get his publishing back,” Julie said. “It has been so joyful and beautiful since this happened for him. This is a celebration of his life’s work. It is the biggest party for the good guy/artist winning.”

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years sees additional contributions from Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub and Rob Stone. The collection was mixed by renowned engineer Bob Clearmountain.
