The film also features Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Doug; Odessa Young as love interest, Faye and more.

John Fogerty has released his anticipated new album, Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years, via Concord.

The album comes as the Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Songwriters Hall of Famer celebrates his 80th birthday year.

The 20-track collection features newly recorded versions of his most beloved songs, all written by Fogerty — a sweeping catalog that includes “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” and the release-day focus track “Bad Moon Rising.”

For the first time in his career, Fogerty fully owns the rights to his groundbreaking Creedence Clearwater Revival catalog.

“For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”

Both Shane Fogerty and his brother Tyler Fogerty perform throughout the album, recorded with Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub and Rob Stone. It was mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain in both stereo and Atmos.

“Bad Moon Rising” has long been one of Fogerty’s signature songs—streamed more than one billion times and recognized as one of the most enduring rock anthems of the last half-century.

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years is available now on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms here.

Pete Townshend has revealed that he is planning to embark on some solo shows once his farewell tour with The Who wraps up.

The rock icons are currently out on their final run of U.S. shows, dubbed “The Song Is Over North America Farewell Tour.”

Speaking to AARP magazine, Townshend said he plans to embark on what he referred to as “one-man” solo outings after he and singer Roger Daltrey finish their current run of shows.

“We reserve the right to pop up again,” Townshend said of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band that announced their first final tour in 1982. “But I think one thing is very clear: that at our age, we will not.”

“I’ve got songs in all kinds of development, 140 tracks ready to go,” he said. “On The Age of Anxiety, [based on his 2019 first novel], I’ve got 26 songs. It’s not not autobiographical, but the scope of my own mental journey through addiction and recovery has led me to a place where I feel that I can write a character, a genuine, realistic character — youngish, who, rather than be depressed, has an acuity, a kind of instant, psychic feeling, and he decides that he wants to really dig in to make his audience as happy as they possibly can be.”
