Tom Fogerty - Zephyr National (1974) & Myophia (1974) [1999] @320



Thomas Richard "Tom" Fogerty (1941 – 1990) was an American musician, best known as the rhythm guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival and the older brother of John Fogerty, lead singer and lead guitarist in that band. Although for a few years Tom Fogerty was in one of the most successful rock groups in the world, it was his lot to be in the huge shadow of his younger and far more talented brother, John Fogerty. Tom played rhythm guitar and sang some background vocals in Creedence Clearwater Revival, but only one of his compositions was recorded by the band. Tom was the first member of CCR to leave, splitting in early 1971 because of tensions with his brother and a wish for more freedom to sing and write his own material. Despite recording nine albums prior to his death in 1990, however, he never succeeded in either making hit records or presenting nearly as strong a musical identity as John -- or, indeed, CCR as a whole -- did.

This release combines two-mid 1970s releases by roots rocker Tom Fogerty and includes the tracks "It's Been A Good Day," "Reggie," "Fate," and "Sweet Things To Come." In 1999, Zyx released Zephyr National/Myopia, which contained two complete albums Zephyr National and Myopia (1974, originally released on Fantasy) by Tom Fogerty on one compact disc.

  1. Have this. It's excellent! Pity that the brothers couldn't get along. More of a pity Tom passed away. Imagine Creedence Clearwater Revisited with Tom on lead vocals!!!!
