John Fogerty & Foo Fighters – “Fortunate Son”
Oh his new album Wrote A Song For Everyone, the former Creedence Clearwater Revival yowler John Fogerty has recruited a whole mess of famous people to help him revive a bunch of his old band’s songs. The album’s roster of guests is a pretty schizophrenic one; it’s got My Morning Jacket, Dawes, Jennifer Hudson, Kid Rock, and the like. And on the album’s version of the righteously aggrieved CCR classic “Fortunate Son,” Fogerty shares the track with the Foo Fighters. And if you ever wanted to hear that song’s swampy power swapped out for compressed crunch-rock riffery, you can stream the song at Rolling Stone.
Wrote A Song For Everyone is out 5/28 on Vanguard.
