John Fogerty to Perform Creedence Clearwater Revival Classics at Australian Country Music Fest
The rock legend will perform a set of his own songs, then a second set performing CCR classics.
With that deal, the singer, songwriter and guitarist unlocked the rights to such classics as “Proud Mary,” “Down on the Corner,” Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising” “Up Around the Bend” and “Green River.” When Fantasy Records’ Saul Zaentz took control of Fogerty’s publishing in 1980, an epic and ugly legal fight ensued, resulting in the Rock Hall inductee refusing to play CCR songs live. During the first half of 2023, Aussies streamed country music 1.1 billion times, based on the top 500 songs in the genre, with U.S. stars Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs among the favorites.
