The sudden death of Tom Fogerty in 1990 marked a somber chapter in John’s life, especially as the brothers were estranged in their final years. Nevertheless, a brief trip to Mississippi rekindled his creative spark. John began performing CCR classics again in live shows—a practice he had previously avoided.
His 1997 solo album, Blue Moon Swamp, marked a successful return. The album earned the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and reinstated his relevance in the rock genre. After a period of relative quiet, Fogerty returned in 2004 with Deja Vu All Over Again, a concise 10-track album reflecting on themes of war and renewal.
In 2007, continuing his momentum, Fogerty released Revival, a new rock album that debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 and sold 65,000 copies in its first week. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. At the 2008 Grammy Awards, he performed “Comin’ Down the Road,” a rare 1973 single, alongside rock legends Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.
In August 2009, Fogerty released The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again, a sequel to his earlier solo project. The album featured collaborations with artists like Bruce Springsteen and was met with favorable reviews. His track “Change in the Weather” earned a 2010 Grammy nomination for Best Rock Solo Vocal Performance.
Fogerty began work on Wrote a Song for Everyone in 2011. Released on May 28, 2013—his 68th birthday—the album featured reimagined versions of CCR hits performed with guest artists such as Foo Fighters and Miranda Lambert, blending rock and country influences.
John Fogerty married Martha Piaz in 1965, and the couple had three children before divorcing in 1970. In 1986, he met Julie Kramer, and they married on April 20, 1991, in Indiana. Julie had a daughter, Lyndsay Lebiedzinski, from a previous relationship, and together John and Julie had three children: sons Shane and Tyler, and daughter Kelsy. As of 2009, the family resided in Beverly Hills, California.
