John Fogerty revisits a seminal moment in his creative life, as his ‘1969’ tour starting November 7 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Fogerty, who coincidentally is 69, released three albums with Creedence Clearwater Revival (Bayou Country, Green River, Will and the Poor Boys) that year. Although the first leg of his tour will be a coast to coast trek throughout Canada, more countries and dates will be announced in 2015.
The tour’s song selection will be culled from the three ’69 albums but also include his catalog of hits. Fogerty, who as a solo artist is best known for the 1985 album Centerfield, continues to record music. In 2013, he released the album Wrote a Song For Everyone, a collection that featured him covering CCR tunes with various artists (Foo Fighters collaborated with him on “Fortunate Son,” and Kid Rock appeared on “Born on the Bayou”).
