A solid argument could be made that THE LONG ROAD HOME is John Fogerty's definitive post-Creedence statement. The majority of the songs on this double-disc live set are in fact songs written while Fogerty was in CCR, but his finest solo work doesn't get short shrift either, as he runs through later-period songs such as "Blue Moon Nights" and "Rambunctious Boy" from 2004's BLUE MOON SWAMP and the hits "The Old Man Down the Road" and "Centerfield." The exuberance and fire that Fogerty puts into these songs, however, blurs the line between past and present, bandleader and solo artist, and shows a brilliant rock-and-roller at his most smokin'. Keep on chooglin' indeed. minimize
