Creedence Clearwater Revival's performance wasn't part of the Woodstock live album or film but John Fogerty sings its praises.
Lead singers in rock groups all have good voices. John Fogerty has a sound. It's a swampy rasp that tells the history of rock and roll with every passing note. His voice he gave to a generation. "Down On the Corner" and "Up Around the Bend" were happy signposts. "Fortunate Son" and "Run through the Jungle" were working man's anthems for peace and equality. "Who’ll Stop the Rain" encapsulated the experience of a three-day summer music festival which never stops jamming. Celebrating 50 years since Creedence Clearwater Revival played at Woodstock, Fathom Events will project the new concert film John Fogerty – 50 Year Trip: Live at Red Rocks at cinemas nationwide.
The show was recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on June 20, 2019, as part of Fogerty’s nationwide “My 50 Year Trip” tour.

Robbie Robertson is gearing up to release Sinematic, his first studio album in more than seven years that marks a shift in the legendary Band guitarist’s writing: while he wrote mainly character songs for years, his 2016 bestselling autobiography Testimony pushed Robertson to more personal territory. “There is something blatantly honest about this period I’m in now, what I’m drawn to,” Robertson told Rolling Stone’s David Browne. “I guess I’m at an age now – a place in my journey – where I don’t care what you think.

Another former 80’s big screen box office star (now at home on the TV screen) could be joining the sequel to this summer’s surprise money-making action flick, The Expendables.
Charlie Sheen (who judging from recent reports, appears to have enough demons to keep Buffy in employment for decades to come) has been mentioned as possibly playing the part of a has-been CIA operative who joins the gang on the hunt for villain (rumoured to be played by Bruce Willis). Sylvester Stallone has obviously been drawn to casting Sheen after remembering his award-worthy turn as reckless hotshot Lt. Dale Hawkins in seminal 80’s action classic Navy Seals.
The actor is apparently due to reprise his role in the third sequel to another 80’s favourite, Major League, when Two and a Half Men finishes filming for the season.
What next? The second instalment of buddy cop flick The Rookie, where Sheen...

Swamp rock guru Dale Hawkins has passed away after losing his battle with colon cancer at the age of 73. The musician was best known for his 1957 hit 'Susie Q' and pioneering the rockabilly style. The original song featured a 15-year-old James Burton on guitar and was released on Chess Records. Hawkins later sold the rights and the track became (more)...

Filmmaker Robert Mugge has, during the past 25 years, established himself as the cinema's foremost music documentarian, with a career that includes more than 20 features chronicling individual performers (Al Green, Sun Ra, Ruben Blades) and various musical styles (blues, reggae, bluegrass, etc.). His latest effort, "Rhythm 'n' Bayous", receiving its U.S. theatrical premiere at the Screening Room in New York, is an entertaining portrait of the music scene in Louisiana and a valuable addition to an ouevre that has become the cinematic equivalent of the work of important ethnomusicologists like Alan Lomax.
The film apparently began as a chronicle of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bus tour through New Orleans and southwestern Louis-iana. But the restless filmmaker abandoned his initial mission and instead went on a far-ranging journey throughout the state, recording more than two dozen roots music performances in nightclubs, concert halls and churches, spotlighting such genres as Cajun, blues, rock, gospel, zydeco and something referred to as "swamp pop." Although some of the performers might be familiar -- Dale Hawkins ("Susie Q"), Frankie Ford -- it's safe to say that the vast majority on display here will be unknown to general audiences. Historical and musical context is provided via comments by a variety of experts and fans.
Mugge's low-budget style --the film was shot in 16mm -- is not particularly distinctive, and on purely cinematic terms, "Rhy-thm" is lacking in more than a few respects. But there's no denying his deep interest and passion for his subject, and the film serves a valuable function in recording for posterity the work of little-known but wonderful musicians and exposing them to audiences not inclined to wander through the back roads of Louisiana. Among the musical highlights are the Easter Rock Church choir's mournful performance of "When the Saints Go Marching In", pianist Henry Butler's powerful rendition of "Deep River" and a number by the Hackenberry Ramblers, the world's longest-lasting music group, who have been performing together since 1933.
