Creedence Clearwater Revival - John Foggarty

I listened to the new John Fogerty album "Wrote A Song For Everyone" and really didn't like it that much.

I'm an old school CCR fan and just didn't like the renditions on the new record? I'll have to listen again and see if it grows on me.

My favorite CCR albums are:

Green River
Willy and the Poor Boys
Cosmos Factory

You could always start with "Chronicle"

Did you know that the song "Run Through The Jungle" was later the subject of controversy when Saul Zaentz, the boss of CCR's record label, Fantasy Records, which owns the distribution and publishing rights to the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival, brought a series of lawsuits against John Fogerty, including a claim that the music from Fogerty's 1984 song "The Old Man Down the Road" was too similar to "Run Through the Jungle."

The judge found that an artist cannot plagiarize himself.

After winning the case, Fogerty sued Zaentz for the cost of defending himself against the copyright infringement claim. In such (copyright) cases, prevailing defendants seeking recompense were bound to show that original suit was frivolous or made in bad faith.

Fogerty v. Fantasy became precedent when the United States Supreme Court (1993) overturned lower court rulings and awarded attorneys' fees to Fogerty, without Fogerty having to show that Zaentz's original suit was frivolous.
