John Fogerty

Twenty years ago, Rod Stewart stepped away from The Great American Songbook and went back to rock, choosing 13 songs that connected him with artists including Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Seger, The Pretenders, Badfinger, The Eagles and Cat Stevens.

Released on this day in 1986, John Fogerty 'Eye of the Zombie', the album that followed Centerfield introduced Fogerty's first full backing band, earned a Grammy nomination and featured a cover that nearly copied David Lee Roth, yet its material stayed silent in concert for more than two decades.

When Creedence Clearwater Revival's Stu Cook and his bandmates in Jackdawg sat down to create the Jackdawg album, they weren't thinking of just any Australian singer. They were thinking of Chrissy Amphlett, the defiant, magnetic frontwoman of Divinyls whose voice, attitude and stage presence captivated audiences across the world in the 1980s and 90s.

September 12 stands as a milestone in music history, celebrated for legendary releases and the passing of iconic artists. Globally, it's the day The Beatles soared to No. 1 with “She Loves You,” Creedence Clearwater Revival dominated album charts with Cosmo’s Factory, and Pink Floyd unveiled the classic Wish You Were Here. Journey and Lauryn Hill also secured major chart triumphs, while the world mourned the loss of Johnny Cash. In Australia, the date carries its own weight with multiple number one singles and the birthdays of two significant artists.

John Fogerty has premiered two new solo remakes of his Creedence Clearwater Revival classics ‘Born on the Bayou’ and ‘Lodi’.
