JOHN FOGERTY EMBARRASSED BY 'CENTERFIELD'S' DATED '80s SOUND
John Fogerty, who recently wrapped up a series of European dates, will be back on the road in North America this fall, and has already announced they first five stops of the tour. As of now, Fogerty kicks things off on September 10th in Mashantucket, Connecticut, with the last date on the itinerary set for September 15th in Rama, Ontario.
Fogerty recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of his comeback solo album Centerfield. Although the album features such classics as "Rock And Roll Girls," "The Old Man Down The Road," and the recent Baseball Hall of Fame-inducted title track, portions of the album remain a bit too dated for Fogerty's liking: "In a lot of ways it's really interesting, of course there's several really good songs on there, but as the guy that listened to this again recently as we were remastering it, that sort of thing, I tended to notice somebody went crazy with the electronic drums (laughs). And that's kind of what stuck out to me. I had kind of forgotten, let's say the local stylistic choices of the day, y'know, 25 years ago. Some of the things sounded a little foreign to me now."
