Janiva Magness has built her reputation as an excellent rock and blues vocalist who mainly sings her own material. So it was a bit of a surprise to find that her new album is one of all cover songs. She did not travel far and wide to collect her material; instead, she picked 12 compositions by John Fogerty.<\/p>\n
The songs of Sings John Fogerty\/Change In The Weather <\/em>were chosen wisely. The well-known hit songs intertwine with lesser-known material. The songs chosen also take on new depth and meanings due to a female being the lead singer, not to mention one with a soulful voice.<\/p>\n Magness has always been an interpreter of songs, whether the words are hers or those of someone else. \u201cLodi\u201d is a song that just makes you smile. Her version is smoother than Creedence\u2019s version. Sam Morrow\u2019s added vocals are a nice touch. \u201cBad Moon Rising\u201d is a little less ominous than the original; here, it is just a very good rock \u2018n\u2019 roll song. \u201cHave You Ever Seen The Rain\u201d is a poignant take that is very modern despite its age. \u201cFortunate Son\u201d is still a searing protest song, this time with a woman as the lead.<\/p>\n \u201cSomeday Never Comes\u201d has tempo changes, intense vocals, and a message of generational failure. \u201cA Hundred And Ten In The Shade\u201d proves once again that simple is best, and in this case, beautiful. \u201cBlue Boy\u201d is a joyous romp, while \u201cLookin\u2019 Out My Back Door\u201d is an album ending, live in the studio, jam session.<\/p>\n Sings John Fogerty\/Change In The Weather <\/em>is an imaginative and ultimately good stop in Janiva Magness\u2019s musical journey. She has issued an album of music worth hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":33903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[9419],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-45730","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-janiva-magness","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45730"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
