Known for creating the soundtrack of a generation, John Fogerty, in conjunction with BMG, is set to release two further albums from his extensive 2018 solo reissue campaign.

Released on the 26th October, Eye of the Zombieand Deja Vu (All Over Again)follow the critically acclaimed 20th anniversary release of Fogerty's Grammy Award-winning album Blue Moon Swamp, the multi-platinum, Grammy nominatedCenterfield, and the gold-certified Grammy nominated album Premonition, all released earlier this year.

As co-founder of CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL, Fogerty's career spans 50 years and he is hailed as one of the most influential musicians in rock history. As the writer, singer and producer of numerous classic hits including 'Born on the Bayou', 'Green River', 'Proud Mary', and 'Bad Moon Rising', Fogerty has been honoured as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists, 100 Greatest Songwriters, and 100 Greatest Singers by Rolling Stone. Earning induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Baseball Hall of Fame, he is also a New York Times best-selling author for his memoir, Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music.

Originally released in 1986, Fogerty's fourth studio album Eye of the Zombie was Grammy Nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal in 1987 and went Gold in the US on release. It was his first album with a backing band and it includes the Creedence-inspired track 'Change in the Weather' as well as 'Wasn't That a Woman' and 'Soda Pop', his first forays into 60s-70s Motown-sounding funk and R&B.

His sixth studio album entitled Deja Vu (All Over Again), was originally released in 2004 and came seven years after his previous album, Blue Moon Swamp. Key tracks include 'Deja Vu (All Over Again)' and 'Sugar-Sugar (In My Life)'. Both albums are available on vinyl, CD and digital formats.

In 2016, following two sold-out, critically acclaimed Las Vegas residencies, Fogerty returned to the city last year for a series of live shows with his debut at the Wynn's Encore Theatre performing John Fogerty: Fortunate Son In Concert, produced by Julie Fogerty and directed by Ken Ehrlich and Raj Kapoor.

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of John Fogerty's Grammy Award-winning album Blue Moon Swamp. Originally released in 1997, Blue Moon Swamp won Best Rock Album at the 40th Grammy Awards in 1998, with the song 'Blueboy' receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance that same year. The album would go on to receive gold certification by the RIAA with the album charting in 11 countries, reaching No.1 in Finland and Sweden.

Fogerty is currently in the studio working on material for a new album and is set to perform in the UK on the 25th October as part of BluesFest at London's O2.
