Rock legend John Fogerty‘s new album, Wrote a Song for Everyone, is now in stores featuring collaborations with Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert and Brad Paisley among others.  John teamed up with Brad on the song “Hot Rod Heart” for the project, and the two have known each other for a while.  Brad considers John a “great man” and “a tremendous guitar player.”  That’s why Brad was a little taken aback at John’s guitar set up in the studio when they recorded “Hot Rod Heart.”

Brad says of John, “He’s actually a fan of my guitar playing in a way that’s very, very flattering to me.  He’s bought the same amp and guitar set-up that I use, and when we recorded our song together, he used the same exact amp style and bought a Crook Telecaster like I play and got a bender put in it just like I have.”

Brad admits it was bizarre, but flattering seeing one of his own heroes take that kind of time to study his guitar set-up.

He says, “Probably no finer compliment I have ever had as a player than to see John Fogerty want to sort of purchase something I use.”

Zac Brown Band also performs with John singing the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic “Bad Moon Rising,” and Alan Jackson joins John on a new version of “Have You Ever Seen the Rain.”
