John Fogerty Legacy Album


What do people think of the new John Fogerty Legacy recording?  To me it seems very musical, polished and well-engineered.  However it seems to lack the energy and emotion of the original recordings.

I think Fogerty's live albums are better, with Premonition (1998) in discount bins by now. Wrote a Song For Everyone (2013) is the best release from him in the 2000's.

It seems as though once he had the rights back to his CCR songs (recently) he hastily created and released Legacy. It does not sound bad but does not resonate with me and seems to be a rehash of those songs. 

He is 80, and considering The Police have reopened old wounds and are fighting over lawful rights at their age, I would think Mr. Fogerty has plans to offer up a definitive CCR greatest hits album in a new remastered format. Or maybe just cherry pick from the albums already remastered, which may have been less professionally remastered by the previous song rights owners. Many of those songs would sound great remixed and reworked with perhaps some new wrinkles to them like he did with Wrote A Song For Everyone.
