A lesson for young musicians
I've never been one to judge the solo efforts of hugely famous musicians based solely on their previous work with the band that made them household names. That said, Revival is a tremendous album and proves one undeniable thing ... Very few artists or bands are capable of writing songs with meaningful lyrics AND solid musicality ... and fewer still are under the age of 50. Most rock today is awful. Most popular music today is garbage. Which is why a 60 year old rocker can still be absolutely relevant and sound as good as he did when CCR was at the top of their short-lived game.

Thanks for putting my emotions to the words and music of songs!
I really like this album and I admire and respect the courage of John Fogerty to honesty capture the anger and frustration in his music about the complete idiocy of the Bush Administration...Cheers to John for speaking the intelligent truth about the Bush Administration...I just love listening to this album and it brings me comfort that someone is willing to use his creative genius to be a catharsis for those of us who truly love our country and have been so angry and so frustrated over the injustices and coverups of the last 7 1/2 years...Thank you John FOgerty

Fogerty Strikes Back...
with this kick a-- album called Revival and a cause for celebration,John Fogerty going back to the roots where he belongs,with all the songs written by Fogerty and every song a winner,some songs sounding like C.C.R.,Foreigner,Jethro Tull,Hendrix and Little Richard,Richard,a big influence on Fogerty,and other tunes on here just sound like plain ol' John Fogerty like the opener,Don't You Wish It Was True,rolling right into,Gunslinger,and the Creedence Song,then Fogerty talks about shakin' your booty all over town,your mine and It Ain't Right.One thing is right on the money,Fogerty's vocals,guitar and songwriting,make up all the elements of this new Revival cd from John Fogerty.

I really like it!
Some of the songs sound like CCR but not all of them and I really like CCR so I enjoy this album. If you are a fan of CCR and/or John Fogerty you should like it.

Grow up!
First let me say I think John Fogerty is one of the all time great voices in Rock and Roll. I loved CCR and I think Premonition is a great CD but let's get real. I had great expectations for Revival but one listen and it goes into the case to rarely be played again. Listening to it will only piss me off. Flower power was great when we were 25 and thought that the world would like us if only we were nicer. Enough with the rock stars who haven't matured past the stage of naivety. There are bad folks out there and they want us dead for no bigger sin than envy. I am an American and proud to be so. I am also a veteran and have served my country. I am not sure what qualifies the singer as an expert on foreign or domestic policy.

When we were young we all thought we had the answers. It was all black and white. We were so sure we were right that we were incredulous that the world just wouldn't listen to us. Then we grew up. At least some of us did. If you're in show business however you don't have to. You still have all the answers.

Great ! Live in your dream world. Remember however that there are some of us out here who have to live in the real world and we just want you to entertain us to take our minds off of our everyday trials and tribulations of trying to be good citizens, husbands, fathers, and grandfathers. We love rock and roll. We want to rock, not be lectured to by someone who's expertise on these matters is no more than our own.

John, not all rock and roll fans are liberals.
