Fogerty played all of the instruments and sang on cover versions of others' country music hits, such as "Jambalaya", which ending up as a Top 20 hit. After performing country & western tunes he released a rock & roll single in 1973, also as The Blue Ridge Rangers.His second solo album John Fogerty was released in 1975 with great success.
