Creedence Clearwater Revival's oeuvre may be the one towering songbook from its era left fallow by its creator. Until now. After shunning his classic songs for decades, Creedence chieftain John Fogerty has embraced them as if they're long lost pals. Premonition presents 18 live tracks performed last year by Fogerty and a four-piece backing group. While there's a sampling of new material, Fogerty's first live solo album is dominated by songs he recorded in a remarkable burst that ran from 1968-72. Premonition proves that Fogerty was the Chuck Berry of his period, with classic songs that are simple, yet profound. While most topical material from the Vietnam era hasn't dated well, "Fortunate Son" still pulses like an open wound, perhaps because it wasn't inspired by noble convictions so much as blunt resentment. The majestic "Who'll Stop the Rain," removed as it is from the turmoil that inspired it in the first place, now sounds almost Biblical. --Steven Stolder Product description Cd > Popular Music > Rock Cd > Popular Music > Rock & Pop Review For those who still revel in the art of the air guitar--and you know who you are--Premonition is manna from rock heaven.... -- Entertainment Weekly[T]his live album [is] more than a mere run-through of favorites, with "Born on the Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising" ... and a handful of post-Creedence songs sounding as fresh as ever. -- The Los Angeles Times
