“I wanted to call it Taylor’s Version. I lobbied very much to the record company”: As Taylor Swift finally takes ownership of her original master recordings, John Fogerty has re-recorded 20 of his greatest songs, note-for-note

John Fogerty.

John Fogerty has announced that he’s done what will surely soon become known as ‘a Taylor Swift’ – he’s re-recorded his back catalogue. Or at least some of it.

He’s releasing a greatest hits album, Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, on 22 August. It consists of re-recordings of 20 of his best-known songs, including Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising and Down On The Corner. Apparently they are note-for-note re-creations of the originals, featuring the same rhythm section and the same guitar parts.
