Out now: John Fogerty re-records his classic tunes on 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years'

John Fogerty, Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and Songwriters Hall of Famer, just put out a new album, 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years' via Concord. 

Arriving as he celebrates his 80th birthday year, the 20-track collection features newly recorded versions of his most beloved songs, all written by Fogerty. 

For the first time in his career, Fogerty fully owns the rights to his CCR catalog. “For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”

In addition to Fogerty's sons, players on the album include esteemed session vets Matt Chamberlain, Bob Glaub, and others. It was mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain in both stereo and Atmos, marking the first time these songs have been available in Atmos.

“Bad Moon Rising,” a focus track, has long been one of Fogerty’s signature songs—and streamed more than one billion times. Listen to “Bad Moon Rising” HERE. Fogerty also unveiled a new music video for “Born On The Bayou.” Watch HERE.

The project is also deeply personal. Inspiration for Legacy began in 2023, when Fogerty achieved a lifelong goal of reclaiming ownership of his publishing after decades of legal battles. Recording the songs anew was his way of not only celebrating that victory, but also creating definitive new versions. “I’m 80 years old,” he says. “I’m giving myself a gift with this album—and I’m giving my fans a gift at the same time.”

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years is available now on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms HERE.

Last week, Fogerty did a iHeartRadio ICONS performance on the Deep Cuts Station, followed by a SiriusXM weekend takeover on the Classic Vinyl channel. Coming up in September, Fogerty will be honored with BMI’s 2025 Troubadour Award. Fogerty will tour throughout the remainder of 2025, including his just-announced return to Mexico City after 20 years.
