10 Rock Music Albums Where One Person Plays Everything

John Fogerty of Creedance Clearwater Revival must really love music, because he could have retired years ago solely off the royalty fees from Fortunate Son.

Still, even when CCR broke up for the first time in 1972, Fogerty turned to a solo career, putting out his third effort, Centerfield, in 1985. This is probably the Southern rock icon's best-known record; single The Old Man Down the Road is most certainly his best-known solo song.

Does it rip off the chorus of CCR's Run Through the Jungle? Sure, but it's still a banger.

Thanks to the magic of overdubbing, Fogerty was able to play all the instruments on this album by himself. Considering how tight his former band had been, it must have been a struggle to adjust to this way of playing, although Fogerty had previously pulled a one-man recording on his first studio album, The Blue Ridge Rangers.

Clearly, he was used to flying solo by 1985, as Centrefield was a Billboard number one hit.

There's the moral of the story, kids; if you're going to steal, make sure you steal from yourself.
