News Roundup: Neko Case, Death Cab For Cutie, John Fogerty, Loudon Wainwright

John Fogerty

John Fogerty talks to Billboard.com about the preparations for his next album, which he says will be a return to rock and roll form. “I play guitar everyday…about three hours. I’m always trying to get better,” says the Creedence Clearwater Revival great. “Having a guitar in your hands all the time triggers music. It triggers creativity and it helps me write songs. So at the appropriate time I’ll have enough songs to go in and make an album and you’ll hear from me again.” On November 10, he’ll play PBS’ “Live By Request.” Fans can ask for songs and pose questions for Fogerty via his web site, Facebook, and Twitter.
