John Fogerty and You

Have any of you listened to the new John Fogerty album? You know, the guy from Creedence Clearwater Revival who hasn't really done anything in the past...30 years? Well, he just put out a new album, and I'll give you a taste of what it's saying:

Long Dark Night:

George is in the jungle
knockin’ on the door
come to get your children
wants to have a war

Come on
Lord you’d better run
Be a long dark night
before this thing is done

Brownie's in the outhouse
Katrina on the line
government's a disaster
But George, he says it’s fine

Come on
lord you’d better run
be a long dark night
before this thing is done

Rummy's in the kitchen
messin’ with the pan
Dickie’s in the back
stealing everything he can

Come on
Lord you’d better run
be a long dark night
before this thing is done

You better run
you better run
Lord you better run
Lord you better run

Runnin’ down the highway
shoutin’ to the Lord
George's got religion
and you know he can’t afford more, yeah

Come on
Lord you’d better run
be a long dark night
before this thing is done

be a long dark night
before this thing is done
oh Lord

In the vein of old-school Creedence meets...I dunno, the Dead Kennedy's or something. I guess you could call it new-age swamp rock. Not quite southern punk (although some of his songs are), but damn close.

If you can, buy this amazing album. You will not be disappointed.
