Grammy Winning Legend John Fogerty Takes 'Superb' (USA Today) New Album, 'Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again,' On US Tour

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - On November 12th John Fogerty, the chart-topping Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, will launch a national tour in support of his new album 'The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again.' Fortunate Son/Verve Forecast released the album on August 31st as a follow up to Fogerty's 1973 solo debut. Critics immediately declared Fogerty's phenomenal renditions of timeless American songs by Rick Nelson, Buck Owens and The Everly Brothers instant classics. USA Today called it "superb" while The New York Times raved that Fogerty's live performance "[evoked] the sound of a mythic backwoods Southland, where barefoot girls dance in the moonlight" and Rolling Stone applauded the album's "strong back-porch country vibe."

This week, Fogerty received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting from the Americana Music Association. He'll kickoff the first season of Live By Request on PBS, and will appear on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien in November as well.

Fogerty along with Kenny Aronoff (drums) Billy Burnette (guitar) Jason Mowery (fiddle/mandolin) Matt Nolen (keyboards/guitar) Hunter Perrin (guitar) David Santos (bass) and James Pennebaker (pedal steel) will kick off the tour at Los Angeles' Kodak Theater on November 12th.
