John Fogerty
Craig Werner, Goldmine, 18 July 1997
THE HISTORY of rock'n'roll bears witness to the power of the unmistakably individual voice bubbling up from subterranean reservoirs of the blues, gospel, and country music: Chuck Berrys ringing guitar; little Richards gospel whoops; the young Elvis rockabilly drawl; the James Jamerson bass lines propelling the great Motown records of the mid-'60s. If you can name the artist in three notes, chances are pretty good theyre going to wind up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
