John Cameron Fogerty (born May 28, 1945) is an American musician, singer and songwriter. He was the lead singer, lead guitarist and principal songwriter of the band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) and has since had a successful solo career. Fogerty was listed on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of 100 Greatest Guitarists (at number 40) and the list of 100 Greatest Singers (at number 72).

John Fogerty is the second solo studio album by former Creedence Clearwater Revival vocalist/guitarist John Fogerty, released in 1975. It was released by Asylum Records in the United States and Fantasy Records internationally. As with the Creedence Clearwater Revival records, the album consists of a mix of originals and cover songs. Although the album is eponymously titled, Fogerty himself refers to it as “Old Shep”; Shep was the name of his dog, who appears on the cover with him.

The song “Rockin’ All Over the World” was covered by the band Status Quo in 1977, becoming one of their most recognizable songs, while Dave Edmunds made his cover of “Almost Saturday Night” one of his staple songs.
