The album was released on October 2, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/albums/FCD-30001/ )〕 The cover design echoes the silhouette design of Fogerty's first solo album ''The Blue Ridge Rangers''. The first single from the album was "Don't You Wish It Was True". The album contains two war protest songs: "Long Dark Night" and "I Can't Take It No More", both of which speak out against the Bush administration and the Iraq War. The latter song contains a lyric that refers to one of his hits with CCR, by referring to Bush as a "Fortunate Son."〔 Also, this song sounds like Ramones-style punk rock. Fogerty has done some experimentation with that sound ("She's Got Baggage" from ''Deja Vu (All Over Again)''). Another song, "Summer of Love", is a tribute to Cream and Jimi Hendrix, and has a musical citation from "Sunshine of Your Love". "Creedence Song" refers to CCR's swamp rock. The album debuted at #14 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling about 65,000 copies in its first week. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album of 2008, but lost to Foo Fighters's ''Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace''. This album was #11 on ''Rolling Stones list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007.〔ROBERT CHRISTGAU, DAVID FRICKE, CHRISTIAN HOARD, ROB SHEFFIELD (December 17, 2007).
