À propos de cet audio

 The long-awaited memoir from John Fogerty, the legendary singer-songwriter and creative force behind Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of the most important and beloved bands in the history of rock, and John Fogerty wrote, sang, and produced their instantly recognizable classics: "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Born on the Bayou," and more. Now he reveals how he brought CCR to number one in the world, eclipsing even the Beatles in 1969. By the next year, though, Creedence was falling apart; their amazing, enduring success exploded and faded in just a few short years.

Fortunate Son takes readers from Fogerty's Northern California roots, through Creedence's success and the retreat from music and public life, to his hard-won revival as a solo artist who finally found love. Divertissement et célébrités Musique Célébrité Succès Biographie

Ce que les critiques en disent

One of The Washington Post's Notable Nonfiction Books of 2015

One of The Daily Beast's Best Memoirs & Autobiographies of 2015

"A natural storyteller, folksy and crusty, Fogerty chronicles the brief but brilliant success of his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and its tragic collapse."—Greg Schneider, The Washington Post
"A classic rock 'n' roll survivor's tale."—Mark Guarino, The Chicago Tribune
"A very readable, fascinating account of John Fogerty's life.... One of the best stories of the entire '60s rock 'n' roll era, it is Fogerty's, it is here, and it's worth reading his whole account of the thing. Glad it finally arrived."—Dave DiMartino, Yahoo! Music
"Fortunate Son will take you on a fascinating journey in the tormented artist's own voice."—Ken Hoffman, Houston Chronicle
"It is fitting that writing--i.e., songwriting--is the main theme of Fogerty's biography, which was penned with the same depth of feeling as his music.... But this isn't just an account of one musician's ups and downs with art and life; Fogerty has created a solid study of popular music over the past 50 years."—Publishers Weekly
"A cracking good storyteller."—Henry L. Carrigan, Jr., BookPage
"At the core of this book is a story of redemption fueled by the power of love, and Fogerty's memory is unerring with what brought about that turnaround: wife Julie Fogerty. Some artists cannot be stopped, and that's one of the prime lessons of this book."—Bill Bentley, The Morton Report
"Mr. Fogerty's story will entertain fans, musicians and lovers of American roots music, yet it stands as one more cautionary tale about the darker side of the music business, where artists not handling their due diligence pay dearly. Fortunate Son is the tale of one who fought those battles and ultimately emerged a survivor."—Rich Kienzle, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

I'm not even finished listening to this and happy to say this is my favorite audiobook.Thank you John ( and Julie) for narrating this for everyone to enjoy.I've always been a fan and was fortunate enough to see you perform in Deer lake park Burnaby, beautiful show.One of my best buds and I were like kids, right up front in complete awe.Also worth mentioning I really enjoyed your postings during COVID lock down,being a family man too,it was heartwarming to see you and yours enjoying your songs together.Thanks for your many awesome tunes,a big part of the soundtrack of my life...

John's tenacity and love for music.

Great insight to what might just be the most frustrating biography I’ve heard yet. Not sure how JF managed to even get out of bed in the 70’s. Good on you. Also, financial rollercoaster aside, it’s great to hear some insight to the song creation/writing process. As a fellow musician I was able to relate with so much of what he lived. Cheers

Jesus. What a rough ride

A great and thorough listen as Fogerty himself takes you through his entire life and career - up and downs, childhood, early days of CCR, becoming one of the greatest rock & roll bands of all time, and sudden breakup, into the dark years and through to his solo career. But heads up, prepare for Fogerty to air out all his grievances lol. Although he claims he’s healed and on the other side of his demons, he has the tendency to drag everyone in his past through the mud - his band mates, managers, friends, everyone really lol. Can come across a little bitter, difficult, and you start to wonder if maybe he’s the problem through it all. Maybe the mad genius syndrome. But hopefully one day he can let go of all the grudges and heal…

Great listen for fans of Fogerty & CCR

He should stick to writing songs.
Sounds like it was written by 10yr olds school speech and narrated like someone reading a Dr. Seuss book.
A huge disappointment

Disappointing
