| Wrote A Song For Everyone 2013 |
563 Miles To Go
When judged by the joy with which others sing his songs, John Fogerty is a king of rock 'n' roll.
No amount of brother and band bad blood nor royalties rumbles can steal the zeal his Creedence Clearwater Revival and solo work continue to provide decades after their initial releases.
Wrote A Song For Everyone spins new life into some of his most memorable CCR moments, as well as debuts two new tunes - Mystic Highway and Train Of Fools.
The irresistible appeal of the CCR greatest hits included (Almost Saturday Night, Lodi, Bad Moon Rising) make this collection the rare all-star outing to actually exceed expectations. It's not that any of these versions are better than the originals, but nearly all add to the songs' legacies in their own way.
The guest stars include Keith Urban, Fogerty's sons Shane and Tyler, My Morning Morning, Zac Brown Band, Dawes and Brad Paisley.
Fogerty's best Wrote A Song For Everyone collaborations include the fiery Fortunate Son with Foo Fighters, the ironic heartbreak of the title track with Miranda Lambert and Tom Morello, a countrified Have You Ever Seen The Rain with Alan Jackson, and the closing New Orleans gumbo side of Proud Mary with Jennifer Hudson featuring Allen Toussaint and Rebirth Brass Band.
Only Born On The Bayou with Kid Rock and Who'll Stop The Rain with Bob Seger miss the expected mark when hearing of the song and artist pairings.
The CD also includes liner notes thoughts by Fogerty on each of the songs, as well as the story behind his signature flannel shirts.
With only 12 old songs covered here, there are plenty of options for future helpings of Fogerty and guests revisitations.
Tina Turner tuning up Proud Mary again, this time CCR style.
Bruce Springsteen on anything.
And, of course, Jeff "The Dude" Bridges on Looking Out My Back Door. Now that would abide.

Neil Young And Crazy Horse Americana
 |
| Americana 2012 |
This principal even applies to centuries old songs such as Oh Susannah, Clementine, and Jesus Chariot (She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain).
The 1957 favorite Get A Job feels out of place next to Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land and God Save The Queen, but Neil's traveled the rockabilly trail before to favorable ends.
The liner notes booklet includes brief histories and complete lyrics for each of the included songs.
The Americana sessions also inspired the band to stay together for the all new two-disc meltdown of Psychedelic Pill (2012).
Anything that leads to more music from Neil Young and Crazy Horse is made for you and me.

The Saucers played it straight out of the Sun Studios and Gene Vincent music books.
Johnny Rebel continues to front the band at shows in and outside of Columbus. Visit their Facebook page for updates.
Meanwhile, Thee Invaders conquered audiences with crazed Cramps trappings and arrangements.
Sci-fi strangeness along with drug trippiness fueled the live rides that were always memorable even when the playing was sometimes sloppy.
"Invader Superstar" T.J. Steppe was among the hardest working rockers in the Cbus scene and impossible to miss on stage or the street with his long multi-colored locks.
Long gone from central Ohio stages, lead singer Matt "McVader" McNulty was turning earth girl skin green in Chicago with a new incarnation of Thee Invaders as recently as 2011.
"We're still here. We've always been here. We'll always be here," claims a March 2011 tweet from @theeinvaders.
Even if not literally, Thee Invaders always will lurk in Columbus music memories.
