In 2013, John Fogerty, the iconic frontman of Creedence Clearwater Revival, released the album Wrote a Song for Everyone, a collaborative project featuring reimagined versions of his classic songs alongside various renowned artists. One standout track from this album is a duet with Bob Seger on the timeless song “Who’ll Stop the Rain.”
Originally penned by Fogerty, “Who’ll Stop the Rain” was released in 1970 as part of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s album Cosmo’s Factory. The song has been interpreted as a reflection on the turbulent events of the era, including the Vietnam War and societal unrest. Over the years, it has been covered by numerous artists, but the collaboration between Fogerty and Seger brings a unique blend of their distinctive vocal styles to the track.
Wrote a Song for Everyone features Fogerty teaming up with a diverse lineup of musicians, including Foo Fighters, Miranda Lambert, and Keith Urban, to revisit his extensive catalog. The album received critical acclaim for its fresh takes on classic songs, with Rolling Stone ranking it among the 50 best albums of 2013.
The duet with Bob Seger on “Who’ll Stop the Rain” stands out as a highlight, showcasing the synergy between two legendary rock voices and offering a renewed rendition of a song that continues to resonate with audiences decades after its original release.
