Blue Moon Swamp is the fifth solo studio album by American singer/songwriter John Fogerty, released on May 20, 1997. The Lonesome River Band provided backing vocals on "Southern Streamline" and "Rambunctious Boy". Other vocal backing was provided by the Waters on "Blueboy" and the Fairfield Four on "A Hundred and Ten in the Shade". Luis Conte accompanied on select songs as a guest percussionist. In 1998, Blue Moon Swamp won Best Rock Album at the 40th Grammy Awards.[4] The track "Blueboy" was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
Cover
When asked about if the wet Fender guitar used on the cover was real, Fogerty said, "Oh yes, it is a real photo. I bought a new Fender Stratocaster just for this occasion. After the shooting we dried every part of the guitar. Maybe I should put it on show now".[5]
2004 remastered version
In 2004 a remastered version of Blue Moon Swamp was released. It features renewed sound and two bonus tracks, which were previously released on singles in either 1997 or 1998, "Just Pickin'" and "Endless Sleep".[6][7]
