Product Description
From Amazon.com
Former Creedence Clearwater Revival leader Fogerty's first album since 1986's broodingly flat Eye of the Zombie, '97's Blue Moon Swamp finds him returning to the roots-rock ways of his old CCR glory days. Deceptively relaxed in the Creedence manner, this collection seeks to evoke the mood and tone of Southern swamp blues, with generally successful results. Highlighted by rockabilly-tinged tunes like "Southern Streamline" and "Hot Rod Heart," the album's clear standout track is "One Hundred and Ten in the Shade," on which Fogerty, ably backed by gospel vocal group legends the Fairfield Four, uncannily reconstructs the sound of Southern field hollers. --Billy Altman

This review is from: Blue Moon Swamp (Audio CD)
...and turn your stereo up as loud as you can stand it when playing this CD. Songs like Hot Rod Heart, Rattlesnake Highway, Blue Boy, Southern Streamline, Rambunctious Boy, Walkin' in a Hurricane - man, do they conjure up images of hot-August-night, wind-in-your-hair, combat-sweat sex! And none more so than Hundred and Ten in the Shade. What a great, great CD! If anyone ever doubted that Fogerty truly was the heart and soul of CCR, this CD should dispell those myths!

Some Guys Will Always Be Cool,

This review is from: Blue Moon Swamp (Audio CD)
Listening to this album you can almost FEEL yourself standing at the edge of a fog-laden swamp, the haunting cries of birds and buzzing insects in the background startlingly loud. Oh yes, John Fogerty has indeed released a wonderfully atmospheric CD that's guaranteed to get your toes tapping, your shoulders shakin' and your spirit soaring. From the catchy, upbeat "Southern Streamline" to the Southern "holler" song "A Hundred And Ten In The Shade" to the bluesy "Bad Bad Boy" which closes the album, Fogerty has crafted a nearly seamless blend of (what I'll call) Cajun Rock. Don't miss this one!

JOHN FOGERTY "BLUE MOON SWAMP" 1997,
This review is from: Blue Moon Swamp (Audio CD)
I am seeing a trend with John Fogerty's solo career, it appears that he releases albums in pairs, and then waits a decade before he puts anything new out. Such is the case with "Blue Moon Swamp" and its sister "Premonition."The critically acclaimed BMS is Fogerty's return to the bluesy, delta style music that he was trying to replicate with CCR. You see, before BMS, Fogerty had never been to the delta region of the U.S. He does a good job getting the mood and the style of this music and putting his own personal style into the songs. Unfortunately, with age comes the cheesy aspect, so some of the songs are silly and down right embarrassing. Like the song about a jelly roll. What is a jelly roll anyway? The critics loved it and awarded John with best Rock and Roll album of the year at the Grammys. Highlights:
