John Fogerty will celebrate one of his most beloved albums with the release of Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition), a newly remastered version of his 1985 chart-topping solo record, arriving on August 28, 2026, via Concord. The March 26 announcement arrives in tandem with Major League Baseball’s Opening Day, honoring the enduring legacy of the album’s title track as the sport’s defining anthem. Fogerty remains the only musician ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame — a testament to his lasting cultural impact. (MLB tickets are available here.)
Sourced from the original half-inch master analog tapes and remastered by Emily Lazar, the new edition presents Centerfield with renewed clarity while preserving the spirit of the original recordings. Not only were all of the songs written by Fogerty, but he also played all of the instruments himself. The remastered vinyl edition features the classic nine-song album exactly as originally released, accompanied by deluxe packaging. Expanded CD and digital editions will include newly released live performances of “Centerfield,” “Rock and Roll Girls,” and “The Old Man Down the Road,” recorded in 2024 with Fogerty’s family band, featuring his sons Shane and Tyler Fogerty. Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition) is available to order here.
The March 26 announcement arrives amid a major run of activity for Fogerty, born May 28, 1945, who will receive the Johnny Mercer Award — the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s highest honor — at the organization’s Induction and Awards Gala on June 11 in New York City. The award recognizes a body of work that has shaped American music for generations.
In 2023, Fogerty regained the publishing rights to his legendary catalog, a long-sought milestone he celebrated with the 2025 album Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, featuring newly recorded versions of 20 of his most beloved songs created alongside his family band. The CD and 2-LP set are available in the U.S. here, in Canada here and in the U.K. here.
Within the past year, Fogerty has been inducted at the American Music Honors, received the BMI Troubadour Award, delivered headline sets at JazzFest, Glastonbury, SXSW and The Hollywood Bowl, performed on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, sat down with CBS Sunday Morning for a profile, performed an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and celebrated his 80th birthday with sold-out shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre.
