Thank you for your suggestion. I played it today from Tidal HD and listened to the entire album. Personally I found it dull and lifeless. Yes it is clean and Fogerty’s voice is not bad considering his age. But it just lacks that raw energy that flows from the original recordings. It’s unfortunate that he was ripped off by the record labels and I’m glad he could recapture some of his power. But it’s a success for him and just too bland for me. I’ll share a story that a friend told me some years back. I was with my friend visiting his terminal aunt in the East Bay Area. I waited outside in the front yard during the visit. When my buddy came out he pointed to the house next door. It was a house converted to a children’s daycare. He said back in the day there was a startup band that practiced in that house. He said she would feed one of the guys and some of the others often as they lacked food. She said one day years later “ Little Johnny “ rang her doorbell and handed her a Gold Record. Little Johnny was John Fogerty and he came by to thank her for those times of kindness when he was in need of a meal. Happy Listening, Mike B.
