John Fogerty crafted rootsy, all-American rock 'n' roll classics with Creedence Clearwater Revival in the late '60s and early '70s, and he remained a heartland-rock hero even in his solo career thanks to his straight-from-the-gut growl and everyman perspective. Whether he was knocking out an uplifting anthem like the sunny "Centerfield" or digging deep into a bluesy, swamp-soaked groove on the spooky "The Old Man Down the Road," Fogerty has always held the ground rules of rock 'n' roll close to his heart: Keep it simple, and make it stick.
