Album Review - John Fogerty - The Long Road Home: In Concert
John Metzger
By Kirk deCordova
If there were any remaining doubts that John Fogerty was back, his
latest career-spanning compilation ought to dispel them. Having resolved
his longtime differences with the Fantasy label, Fogerty now is
redeploying many of his past hits via retrospective packages and live
recordings. His most recent effort The Long Road Home: In Concert is a
two-disc collection of material that was captured on September 15, 2005
at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. If that sounds familiar, it's
because this is the same event that spawned a similarly titled DVD this
past summer. No matter -- throughout the endeavor, Fogerty's vocals
sound as forceful, raw, and urgent as anything that he did during his
days fronting Creedence Clearwater Revival, which isn't too shabby
considering that the group disbanded more than 30 years ago.
