John Fogerty - The Promised Land - Non-Album Tracks (1995-2005)

There are lots of artists where I still have more of their stray tracks collections that need posting. I haven't posted one of those from John Fogerty for ages, but I just remembered to do so after posting a concert from him a few days ago.

Fogerty is not very prolific. In the eleven year time period of this collection, he only released two studio albums, in 1997 and 2004. But what he does release tends to be of a high quality. That's the case with his stray tracks, even though in this case most of them are cover versions or acoustic versions of previously released songs. I think only "Premonition" and "Swing Blues No. 1" are new originals.

Five of the songs here are officially unreleased (tracks 1, 5, 6, 7, and 12). Those five are all from concerts or radio shows. For "The Promised Land," a Bruce Springsteen cover, I thought the lead vocals were low, so I used the X-Minus audio editing program to boost them. That's what the one has "[Edit]" in the title.

The rest of the songs come from all sorts of sources. Mostly, they're from various artists collections, appearances on other artist's albums, or B-sides. "Premonition" comes from a Fogerty live album of the same name. I've included it here because it was the only new song on that album.

01 In the Midnight Hour (John Fogerty & Sam Moore)
02 All Mama's Children (Carl Perkins & John Fogerty)
03 Just Pickin' [Instrumental] (John Fogerty)
04 Endless Sleep (John Fogerty)
05 Workin' on a Building (John Fogerty)
06 Joy of My Life [Acoustic Version] (John Fogerty)
07 Proud Mary [Acoustic Version] (John Fogerty)
08 Premonition (John Fogerty)
09 Blue Moon of Kentucky (John Fogerty)
10 Blue Ridge Mountain Blues (Earl Scruggs & John Fogerty)
11 Diggy Liggy Lo (John Fogerty)
12 The Promised Land [Edit] (John Fogerty)
13 Swing Blues No. 1 (John Fogerty & Jerry Douglas)

  1. Thanks for the Fogerty upload. In 2013 he had another studio album "Wrote a song for everyone" with duets of old songs and only 2 new ones. (maybe that's why you didn't mention that release. I have a question: I think song 6 & 7 come from a 1997 French TV show, but... where /when was song 5 "Working on a building" done????
