John Forgerty releases an album of 20 of his most famous songs, all re-recorded this week, and in a lengthy interview in today’s Guardian, has been talking about his career and the long fight to regain control over those songs.
“The best way I can describe it is I was imprisoned wrongfully and sent away to the penitentiary for many, many years,” he says of his years battling with Fantasy Records, the label that put out the early Creedence Clearwater Revival records, and their then-owner Saul Zaentz.
