It was a full moon outside but surely not bad, like John Fogerti was presented BMI Troubadour Award in Nashville Monday night, with breakdown and contemporaries shown in honor and perform for the founder of clearing Cleedence Cleadevirt Revival.

Among them was someone who was at least equally shining star of the day in the music city like fogerty, Lainei WilsonWhoever was discovered as if received by six CMA prize nominations, binding to leadership in this year’s race. Crewestance songs also perform in greetings with the co-aged Jesse Velles, war and contract, Duo F. Gibbons and La Marisoul and Jay Buchanan (Rival Son).

Said Wilson, just before the performance, “I first moved to Nashville. Years in my little CD, and he put me on top. He said,” This is here, it’s the one you need to listen to your music. “And I’ll never forget that. I’m one of your biggest fans and I just appreciate you. You inspired me and so much influenced me and everyone in this room. Well, let’s pick it up.”

Although these fronts were almost crossed the pension, none, as a handful of selection occurred at the peak of the area of ​​the invitation, and the 80-year-old legend sounded a single day when he recorded a debut album Creedence.

With its new reasons for pride under her clamp belt, Wilson abolished (the other) “proud)” proud Mary “, while Velles and home band offered a solid folk-rock,” Have you ever seen the rain? “And Buchanan knocked” Happy Son “from the park. In several cases, the two of the Catalog of Fogerty was supposed to be in any such task of Bayou”, while Gibbons Gibbons Gibbons and La Marisoul, while ZZ GOPs Written on the album “Green River”, without being “Green River”.

Fogerti’s climacthic gathering with own band consisted “the old man down the path”, because “the old man” ran away, because “the old man” was on the watch between the star and his guitarist Son Shane and his guitarist Son Shane Fogerti, it turned out that an apple was right on the base of the tree. “

Fogerti’s battles in court and outside the Court over the years to try to regain control over his music is a frequent topic of speech during the event, at least of all its own.

“You’re looking at a guy who actually sued because of the sound as I am,” Fogerty said, referring to his famous legal Tif with Saul Zaentz. “And you know, it’s a funny thing – this record I called” Legacy “, it’s actually the whole point: John Fogerty sounds like John Fogertes in this record.” (The new album in which he thought (held in early evening BMI Nashville VP Creative, Clay Bradley) was basically “John’s version” again recorded his classic CCR hits, although it resolved those earlier legal battles.)

“Being sued for sound as I am, I believe that I was first, it was actually a very serious thing and it took several years of my life and a lot of money, and I had to go to the United States Supreme Court.” “The Point Being, Whether Now or If You’re a Youngster and It May Not Have Will Be Those Who Try To Borrow Your Self, Your Younger Self, And That’s Wrong. You Should Be Free To Sound Like Yourself For The Rest Of Your Life. We All start out trying to find or our singing and once you find something that’s really good, man, you sure telling you that can’t make it more. So you have the supreme court to thank and I guess If I had a part of it. Even in old age and I think we will be protected from people who use us. “

Journalist Veteran Rock and TV Rewards show that the writer David Wild presented a fogerty at the event and, talking to a magical concise in his classic sams.

“With” happy son, “John summarized the inequalities of our class system, the sharp truth of our American policy, plus maybe in peace, in just two minutes and 18 seconds. Very economical.” Bad Moon Seconds, “I believed that we imagine the feeling of apocalypse, but this time he took all three minutes and seven seconds, as extraordinarily behind this Troubadour, nurtured and struggling so boldly and struggled to fight.”
