Fantasy Records announced that Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty will join forces with fellow music icon Willie Nelson this summer for a 30-day amphitheater tour that kicks off July 21st.

Fogerty is one of America's most celebrated, influential and treasured singer/songwriters.  The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has established one of the most important catalogs of songs in rock history. He returned to Fantasy Records in 2005 and released his first-ever career spanning compilation, "The Long Road Home," and achieved his highest Billboard Album Chart debut (No.13) since 1985’s “Centerfield.”

Fogerty will also release a live concert DVD “The Long Road Home: The Concert” on June 13th for the suggested retail price of $19.98. The concert was recorded in September, 2005, at the famed Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, and features spectacular performance captured at the Wiltern including, "Born On The Bayou," "Who'll Stop The Rain," "Bad Moon Rising," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," "Travelin' Band," "Déjà Vu All Over Again,” "Fortunate Son," "Green River," "Almost Saturday Night," "Rockin All Over The World," "Centerfield," and "Proud Mary" just to name a few.
