Don & Tim on John Fogerty's Blue Ridge Rangers new album!

[AzEaglesFan]

I just bought the whole album, after listening to it , it will probably never be one of my all time favorites but I did enjoy it enough that I'll play it again.Some of the songs I remember from when I was a LOT younger so I did enjoy hearing them again.

I downloaded the album over the weekend. It's very old school country. Can't say it will stay in the cd player very long at a time, but it's a fun change.

I played it for my husband (he has always been a big fan of John and CCR) and asked him if he could guess who's singing on Garden Party with John. He couldn't. Then when I told him he said, "so, that's why you bought it!"

For anyone sitting on the fence about buying this, go to JohnFogerty.com and listen to the clips available on the website. Must say I can hear the Don/Tim influence in Garden Party but don't know if I'd buy the whole CD just for the one song. All in all, if you like Fogerty you'll probably enjoy it.

John really does sound good on all the songs. It's just 'different'!

You can hear the full songs of both "Garden Party" & "When will I Be Loved" (with Bruce Springsteen) at this link:

When my husband heard that the album was coming out he remarked that he wanted to get it, so I' ll wait until he does. These two songs sound great, but after listening to clips of the other songs on the album, I think that they may be the best.

GL, thanks for the link, I just gave it a listen. I have to say, I love TBS and Don's voices together. Oh... wouldn't it be nice if those two did a duo CD... I'd be all over that! I enjoy their voices against each other, a la Waiting in the Weeds... and I also love when Don sings on Do Something.

All of this does beg the question.... was Glenn asked to participate in this? I suppose he wasn't. Don and Tim also sang together on Warren Zevon's album The Wind, which Joe played on, and as always Glenn was nowhere in sight. The only guest appearance he has made recently was on B.B. King's Drivin' Wheel and that was sadly very brief (vocally at any rate).

I'm so far behind here. I heard this song on the radio a couple of weeks ago and nearly jumped when the announcer said it was John Fogerty with Don Henley and Timothy B Schmidt! I've heard it since and this time picked up the harmonies and the solos of Don and Tim. Great song and the lyrics are fun.

Wikipedia has an interesting analysis.

I've heard that story before - it is quite interesting! I hope the speculation is right that they weren't booing Rick, but rather security.

I'm sure Don and Tim can sympathize with knowing folks want to hear the oldies, but wanting to ply new material also even if it isn't received as well.

Now I've heard it, I thought Don sounded very different. I honestly preferred Tim's part. And nice though their harmonies are, I am afraid I feel there is something lacking.

I have to say I thought the collaboration with Springsteen, When Will I Be Loved, was superior.
