Fogerty will drop his forthcoming album, "Revival," Oct. 2 and promote it with an appearance that night on CBS-TV's "Late Show with David Letterman."

The self-produced "Revival" is the veteran rocker's first album of new material for Fantasy Records in 35 years. The former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman fought with the label for more than 30 years over the rights to his own songs. The company was sold to Concord Records in recent years, paving the way for a reconciliation with Fogerty in 2005, which was followed later that year by the release of his first complete career retrospective, "The Long Road Home."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said that seeing the Fantasy logo on his new album was "surreal," according to a press release, which added that the material on "Revival" represents a renewed musical spirit and heart for Fogerty.

"It just seemed like all the records I have made since Creedence Clearwater Revival have all been sort of pushed off center," the Grammy winner said in a statement. "I felt like I was dancing around the outskirts of what is my true center. With this album, I really wanted to stay on the mark, right in the middle, right where rock 'n' roll is. I wanted this one to be easier, a lot more fun than some of the past records have been."

The album's lead single, "Don't You Wish It Was True," has shipped to radio and the video is currently streaming at Fogerty's website.

In addition to traditional record outlets, "Revival" will be stocked at Starbucks coffee shops and a special edition will be available at Wal-Mart stores. The Wal-Mart version will include a bonus DVD with a 30-minute Fogerty interview and footage from his June Glastonbury Festival performance. The singer's website is also taking pre-orders for a limited-edition vinyl pressing.

Fans who can't make it to one of Fogerty's concerts can catch the performer on the PBS-TV series "Soundstage" in January. The one-hour special is scheduled to be recorded Nov. 29 in Chicago.
