John Fogerty has taken advantage of his time in quarantine by enlisting his family to create a brand new LP, revisiting some of his most beloved songs.

“When the world stopped in March due to the pandemic, the news was bleak and scary,” Fogerty explains via press release. “We were all unsure of everything we once knew or took for granted. However, it also brought many of us together, we soon found we had time we never had before. Our family wanted to do something that might bring a smile or help others, so [my wife] Julie suggested we bring music to ease some of the pain we were all feeling. In our family, music has brought us so much joy and we thought we could somehow share that joy in a pure, unscripted form. So, we gathered in our home studio and created music. There were many instruments the kids picked up for the first time, especially [my daughter] Kelsy who had just started playing guitar and even played drums for the first time. She was a senior then and wasn’t able, like so many, to enjoy her last year of high school. This was a wonderful way of connecting with our family and fans through music.”

Fogerty’s Factory will be released on Nov. 20, and it includes versions of “Centerfield,” “Proud Mary,” “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” and more.
