While it's not horrible, it's completely forgettable. Nothing grabbed my attention at all and all the songs seemed rushed and incomplete. His voice is basically shot, but guess ya gotta give him credit for still putting out something. Wasn't on my radar to purchase and still isn't.
John Fogerty--Thumbs Up
Bummer that the Foo Goo Fighter Dolls had to almost ruin another song. Can't they just retire? Seriously, thay aren't what everybody thinks they're cracked up to be! you're all wrong! The rest of the songs were fantastic though, and "Train Of Fools" is a smokin' track and "Mystic Highway" is dandy as hell. Those two tracks I'm revisiting right now (not all at once you fools!) because I'm liking them!
My better half is a huge Bob Seger fan. She has a greatest hits disc that hasn't left the CD player in her car for over a year. A couple weeks ago she found out he lives about a mile from us and goes to a grocery store right up the street. Now she wants to camp out at the store just so she can see him. This is the crap I have to put up with.
TOM KEIFER - 4 out of 6.
I didn't expect much, so this was actually not bad at all. The production sounds good, and I like the speed of the first 3 songs. Haven't the first one been in SMASH OR TRASH? The 4th was the weakest, but the last one was almost as good as the 3 first. I always thought, that Keifer had a good voice, and he still has. While listening, I was thinking about Mick Jagger-solo, John Mellencamp, Rod Stewart but also G'N'R/Duff McKagan. Not bad at all.
JOHN FOGERTY - 2 out of 6.
Are all these songs "used"? I have off course heard the first and the last, and probably also "Mystic Highway", but the other two, I haven't heard before. It's a mystery to me, why CCR and The Eagles are so popular in europe, because it is total "Redneck"-music to me, meaning there are country and gospel and shit like that all over this music. Now, don't take this the wrong way, because you should know by now, that I love America, and a LOT of american music, but when it is TOO much american music like Country, Gospel and Blues, it's not for me. I can understand why YOU guys might like it. Foo Fighters are everybody's pals these days, and that's beginning to annoy me a bit. Stay behind those drums, Grohl. The best one of these is easily "Mystic Highway", despite the gospel-sound aso.
Mystic Highway and Train Of Fools are both new, original compositions.
TOM KEIIFER ... 2 Thumbs flat
I like it, I don't like it, I like it, I don't like it... I've been picking at this for awhile now and I've landed on "eh" there's great moments and then there's flat moments. At the end of the day, I have to pass on this
JOHN FOGERTY ... 2 Thumbs partially up ...
Thankfully the Foo Fighters rock Fortunate Son in a very cool way! Sorry Jon, your wrong they get down to it, and i like the reworked tune. Like that Mystic Highway tune, pretty cool! He stays true to his strengths that's for sure... Love the geetar work on the title track, I don't care for Lamberts countrified vocals. It took away from an otherwise solid tune. Train of Fools didn't really work for me, but maybe it was the country aftertaste, thankfully Seger fixed all of that and closed me out on a high note! Purchase? Nope, but a cool listen indeed.
