John Fogerty sets summer tour, new album in the works
Former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty , who rarely plays concerts and issues new recorded material even less often, will tour extensively this summer before releasing a new album.
Fogerty opens his trek in late June and will touch down in more than 30 cities over the next two months. It's been about four years since Fogerty's last major tour.
The outing will be followed this fall with the release of Fogerty's first new studio album since 1997's "Blue Moon Swamp."
"I have been in the studio putting the finishing touches on my new record, scheduled to be out in mid to late September," Fogerty wrote in a message on his website. "We will put the release date up as soon as we know it."
Fogerty's most recent album was 1998's "Premonition," which included 18 live tracks that he recorded during a performance the previous year. It was around that time that Fogerty began to play CCR hits in concert; for well over a decade, he refused to play the songs because of a long-running business dispute with CCR's label, Fantasy Records.
