John Fogerty recording new album.
"John Fogerty has been in the studio over the past few months recording his new album for Dreamworks Records. The recording has been going well and is coming down the homestretch. Look for a late spring/early summer release with a US and European tour to follow".

J's post there was a shock although recent sightings of the man kinda suggested that he wasn't in good fettle. BBC News Report here!

Mud rocked and the girly lookin' guitar player (Rob Davies?) went on to co-write "I Can't Get You Out Of My Head" with Cathy Dennis for Kylie. They were a lot more punk rock than much of the bandwagonning shysters that climbed on board that bus circa '77.

RIP: Les Gray. Former singer of post-glam band Mud, who brightened up the mid 70s with fine foot stompin' tunes like 'Dynamite', Tigerfeet' and 'The Cat Crept In'.

For whatever reason I sometimes forget to mention the Lazy Cowgirls when it comes to answerin' questions RE: my favorite bands. Maybe it's because they've been around for such a long time and I've started takin' 'm for granted, who knows. But while spinnin' their latest 45 on Gearhead tonight I was once again reminded what an amazin' band this is. The ultimate band for agein'' punk rockers. Think your favorite country/honky tonk/blues lyrics set to a brain poundin' cross twixt early Saints and Exile era Stones. They are that good...
