Like cowboy hats and political scandal, John Fogerty is a timeless American tradition. Ever since he led Creedence Clearwater Revival to their status as America's first great heartland rock band, John Fogerty has been the musical equivalent of Henry Fonda, Gary Cooper, and JFK rolled into one. Through CCR's breakup and his subsequent solo career, Fogerty's music has adhered to its original template of swampy blues-rock with splashes of country/folk twang, and 2007's REVIVAL is no exception.
Even after four decades of recording, Fogerty's voice sounds remarkably fresh and unchanged. The sound that emanates from the opening cut, "Don't You Wish it Was True," is as pure and unsullied as the utopian wish conveyed by the lyrics. And for a man who spent years refusing to play his back catalog and enduring litigation over his old band's material, it's interesting to hear him acknowledge his past so wholeheartedly; on the sly "Creedence Son "his guitar teases old CCR licks, and "I Can't Take it No More" references "Fortunate Son." By playing to his strengths and reeling out bluesy, rootsy riffs and belting in his patented salty-but-sweet manner, Fogerty reiterates his continued status as an American musical icon.

Rolling Stone (p.76) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Fogerty's documentary roots rock was always rebel music, a counterculture of factory-floor politics via Hank Williams and Dale Hawkins. REVIVAL is no rerun. It is Fogerty getting back to work..."
Rolling Stone (p.108) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "The Creedence man has never lost his most sustaining strength, which is the warmth and grit of his voice."
Entertainment Weekly (p.126) - "Fogerty's seventh studio album shows that his soul-scarred voice and knack for killer licks remain as potent as ever..."
Uncut (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "12 songs, while rooted in an idealist, mythic Americana, also offer rallying cries that are as blisteringly contemporary as Credence's 'Fortunate Son' was back in 1970..."
Dirty Linen (p.72) - "With REVIVAL, Fogerty reclaims his title as one of rock's most passionate and tuneful songwriters, and he sings and plays guitar with a fierceness and abandon that he has not exhibited in years."

Five stars for the man who was Creedence Clearwater Revival - cannot believe this great artist has so many tricks still left in his bag.

Very good music and politics don't mix.
I have been a fan of John Fogerty for many years,both as a solo artist and as the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival,and for the most part I really like his latest release "Revival." I was very happy with the fact that he got back to his CCR roots,especially with songs like "Don't You Wish It Was True," "Creedence Song," and "Natural Thing." Some of my favorites are rockers like "Somebody Help Me," "Longshot," "Summer of Love," and his dedication to the likes of Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan with the song "It Ain't Right." As good as this CD is,I have taken exception to his cracks towards President Bush and his staff in songs like "I Can't take It No More," and "Long Dark Night." I have never been a fan of mixing music and politics...it makes me wonder if he would be this gracious towards Hillary or Obama if they did the exact same things if they were president?? Probably not,but that's just me. All things considered,"Revival" is a good rocking CD. All of John Fogerty's fans will love it.

John Fogerty shows in this record all of his skills as frontman, writter and with his famous and still perfect raspy voice. Great CD. I recommend it for all.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  A Masterpiece by John Fogerty!
John Fogerty shows that he is capable of greatness in songwriting and performing music with a passion with Rivival, possibly more than he ever has since his days as the leader of Creedence. Songs like Long Dark Night and I Can't Take It Anymore directly address the wrongs of today's politics, and the song Don't You Wish It Were True expresses a desire for peace among all people. This album sure is a relief for those, like myself, who are tired of so much garbage being played on the radio that is supposed to pass as music. Intelligent people know better. Great work, John, and thanks for continuing to be there for us all. - Mark
