John Fogerty The Old Man Down the Road

“The Old Man Down the Road” is a song by American rock artist John Fogerty. Its release was in December 1984 as the lead single from Fogerty’s comeback album, Centerfield. The song became a top 10 hit single, peaking at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and spending three weeks at the number-one spot on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart.

John Fogerty Centerfield

Centerfield is that the third solo studio album by musician John Fogerty. Released in 1985, it spawned the hit singles “The previous Man Down the Road”, “Rock and Roll Girls” and also the title track “Centerfield”.

This was Fogerty’s first album in nine years; After Asylum Records rejected his Hoodoo album, he decided to take a long break from the music business because of legal battles with his record company. In the meanwhile, Fogerty’s recording contract with Asylum Records was reassigned to co-owned Warner Bros. Records, therefore, this album was the primary free on the Warner Bros. label.

Fogerty competes for all the instruments on this album himself, because of overdubbing. The image on the quilt shows associate degree old school, “beat-up glove”, as referenced in the title song, and text similar to a logo of a baseball team, setting the mood for the track. The RIAA has certified the album double-platinum (2 million album sales).

John Fogerty Centerfield, Setlist and Ccr

After a hiatus of several years from the music industry, Fogerty’s solo career re-emerged with the year 1985’s Centerfield, his first album for Warner Bros. Records, which had taken co-ownership of Asylum’s contract with Fogerty.

Centerfield went to the top of the charts as well as included a top-10 hit in “The Old Man Down the Road.” The title track is frequently played on classic rock radio as well as at baseball games to this day, but the album led to legal problems for Fogerty.

Fogerty filmed a one-hour music and interview special for Showtime called John Fogerty’s All-Stars on May 31, 1985. The setlist consisted of rhythm as well as blues tunes from the year 1960s and material from the Centerfield LP and the song “No Love in You” written by Michael Anderson, which Fogerty found on the Textones’ debut album Midnight Mission and he later recorded with Textones’ band leader Carla Olson.

John Fogerty’s All-Stars was recorded in front of an audience of Warners Bros. Music employees as well as other invited guests at A&M Records on La Brea in Hollywood. The band included Albert Lee, Booker T. Jones, Duck Dunn, Steve Douglas, and Prairie Prince.

John Fogerty Concert

For more than 20 years after the Eye of the Zombie tour ended in late 1986, Fogerty refused to play material from the album in concert. However, “Change in the Weather” was included in the setlist for his 2009 tour, as well as it was even re-recorded for that year’s solo release, The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again.

Fogerty performed his hit “Centerfield” from the center field of the new Yankee Stadium, at its opening-day festivities on April 16, 2009.

John Fogerty Red Rocks

Fogerty performed on Public Broadcasting Station pledge week with “John Fogerty: My 50 Year Trip”, a taped performance from Red Rocks Amphitheater, Colorado in November 2019. His most recent performance was at the Winstar in Thackerville, Oklahoma, on December 31, 2019. The remaining performances of his current tour “My 50 Year Trip” have been postponed due to the pandemic.

Fogerty played remotely with several family members on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts in April 2020. John alongside his sons Tyler and Shane, and his daughter Kelsy performed Creedence Clearwater Revival songs together.

John Fogerty Blue Moon Swamp

Fogerty returned to the commercial music industry in the year 1997 with Blue Moon Swamp. The layoff between Zombie as well as Swamp had been longer than his mid-1970s to mid-1980s break. The album was much more successful than Zombie and won the Grammy for the best rock album in the year 1997.

A live album, named Premonition, of the equally successful Blue Moon Swamp tour, was released to similar acclaim as well as good sales in the year 1998. A track from Blue Moon Swamp titled “Blue Moon Nights,” was used in the year 2002 film The Rookie.

John Fogerty Band

Fogerty’s older brother Tom was a guitarist as well as a bandmate in the group that eventually became CCR. Fogerty spent summer vacations at Putah Creek, near Winters, California, which became the subject of the CCR song “Green River”. While in junior high school in the year 1959, Fogerty formed a cover band with bassist Stu Cook as well as drummer Doug Clifford called the Blue Velvets.

The band was inspired by rock and roll pioneers, especially Little Richard as well as Bo Diddley. Later, Fogerty’s brother Tom joined the group. In the year 1964, the band signed with Fantasy Records, which without the band’s knowledge or approval, changed the band’s name from the Blue Velvets to The Golliwogs. This group recorded seven singles that were not commercially successful.

The band released their eponymous debut album and also had their first hit single, “Susie Q”. Many other hit singles, as well as albums, followed, beginning with “Proud Mary” as well as the album Bayou Country. Fogerty, as a writer of the songs for the band and lead singer and lead guitarist, felt that his musical opinions should count for over those of the others, leading to resentments within the band.

These internal rifts, and Tom’s feeling that he was being taken for granted, caused Tom to leave the group in January 1971. The two other group members, bassist Cook as well as drummer Clifford, wanted a greater role in the band’s future.

Fogerty, in an attempt to keep things together, insisted Cook and Clifford share equal songwriting as well as vocal time on what became the band’s final album, Mardi Gras, released in April 1972.
