Few careers in rock 'n' roll have been as vital or enduring as John Fogerty's. The songwriting wizard behind Creedence Clearwater Revival, John practically defined late '60s/early '70s rock with classics like "Bad Moon Rising", "Down on the Corner", "Fortunate Son", "Lodi", "The Midnight Special", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?", "Hey Tonight" and many more. Hundreds of bands and songwriters have cited CCR albums like Cosmo's Factory as being influential, and many younger artists consider John Fogerty as one of the greats.

In the 1980s, John experienced a career revitalization as a new generation discovered him through old CCR records as well as his solo album Centerfield, which featured the hit title track as well as the MTV hit "The Old Man Down the Road". Since that 1985 record John has released several more well-received solo records, including Eye of the Zombie, Premonition, and Blue Moon Swamp. His most recent release, The Long Road Home: In Concert, captures John in all his live glory, as he stomps through a thunderous back catalogue of vintage Creedence tracks as well as solo material. He has plans to release a new album in the fall.

Jim Cuddy's The Light That Guides You Home just won a Juno for Adult Alternative Ablum of the Year. The second solo album from the Blue Rodeo frontman, it has been eight years since the release of Cuddy's first solo album, All In Time. The diversity of The Light That Guides You Home draws on much of the music that has influenced Cuddy over the years. The album soars from the country-tinged "Countrywide Soul" to the ebullient pop of "One Fine Day" to the full-throttle rolling rock of "Stagger In".

Don't miss the legendary John Fogerty with special guest Jim Cuddy Band!

I just returned from the John Fogerty Show that Jim Cuddy opened for...It was awesome. Great energy, songs, the band was into the crowd and visa-versa. He played for nearly two housr and the euphoric fans poured out of Scotiabank Place still singing the great tunes.

There was one part of the night that was simply revolting - Jim Cuddy. The yawn filled set, performed by a hack from Toronto, was filled with music and lyrical themes more American than Garth Brooks and the Dixie Chicks. The ironic thing is that Jim Cuddy has a music career only because of the CanCon stipulations of the CRTC. The crowd yawned.

The band had ZERO energy. Most of the time they stood around with their instrument at their side looking like 6 out-of-touch, no-charisma session musicians. All of the songs sounded the same. The crowd yawned.

The Jim Cuddy session was not all bad - the young lady playing the fiddle had a 3 minute solo of energy hitting notes and emotions lacking in the rest of this @$@ show. Finally the suffering was over and Mr. Cuddy left the stage. THe crowd cheered.

I'm sure John Fogerty rues the day he let Jim Cuddy open his shows. Go see Fogerty but avoid Jim Cuddy like its Blue Rodeo.


Good night,
Ottawa Music Lover

I caught the Jim Cuddy band and John Fogerty last night! Simply awesome. I had never seen Jim Cuddly live but I could have stayed and listened to him all night. If he's coming to your area, go out and get tickets...Check out Jim's violinist Anne Lyndsay. She's awesome!!!!!

"HDH & The Uglies"

It is very obvious that you taste for music is a big ZERO and your lack of respect even worse.

To come to Jim`s blog and show such a lack of class is simply revolting.You make me yawn

Saw you in Kelowna last night. You were AWESOME. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and singing along. The band you have travelling with you is so great to listen to. I cannot wait to see you perform again.

Thank you for an enjoyable start to our evening. Running right out to get the album.. well right after I get out of work.
