John Fogerty - I Confess - Non-Album Tracks (1985-1989)

In my opinion, John Fogerty has very solid albums nearly all the time, with very few known extras, such as B-sides or bonus tracks. That said, "very few" isn't the same as "none." Plus, he's been known to play some unusual songs in concert from time to time.

Around 1976, Fogerty gave up on his solo career and went into musical seclusion for nearly ten years. He reemerged in 1985 with his album "Centerfield," which sold millions. But he followed that up with "Eye of the Zombie" in 1986, and it didn't do nearly as well (although I think it's still a fine album). Apparently stung by this relative failure, he didn't put out another album until 1997.

There are a flurry of stray tracks from the time of his 1985 and 1986, represented here. He continued to perform the occasional concert or guest appearance into the 1990s, but these were very infrequent until his 1997 album came out.

I think all the songs here are covers, though some, such as "No Love in You," are very obscure. I included some obvious songs at the end ("Suzie Q" and "Proud Mary") due to who Fogerty plays these versions with. I included "Cottonfields," even though it was a song he did with Creedence Clearwater Revival, because it was one of three songs he did for a Buddy Holly tribute concert (along with "It's So Easy" and "Rave On").
