John Fogerty, Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and Songwriters Hall of Famer, releases his anticipated new album Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years today, LISTEN HERE. 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—a sweeping catalog that includes “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” and the release-day focus track “Bad Moon Rising.”
For the first time in his career, Fogerty fully owns the rights to his groundbreaking CCR catalog—a milestone decades in the making. Legacy stands as a full-circle moment, a hard-won reclamation now brought to life with new recordings on his own terms. Produced by Fogerty and his son Shane Fogerty, with executive production by Julie Fogerty, the album channels both the raw fire of the originals and the joy of this present-day triumph. With renewed energy and purpose, Fogerty breathes fresh life into the songs that continue to define American rock and roll.
“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.”
Both Shane and his brother Tyler Fogerty perform throughout the album, recorded with Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub and Rob Stone. It was mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain in both stereo and Atmos, marking the first time these iconic songs have been available in Atmos. Legacy has already earned praise from Rolling Stone, NYMag / Vulture, The Guardian, The LA Times, UNCUT, Billboard, and more.
“Bad Moon Rising,” today’s focus track, has long been one of Fogerty’s signature songs—streamed more than one billion times and recognized as one of the most enduring rock anthems of the last half-century. On Legacy, Fogerty revisits the track with the same urgency and conviction that first made it a classic, now powered by the collaboration and spirit of his family band.
