Reinventing Old Classics From a Fresh Perspective

I just downloaded John Fogerty's newest album, "Wrote A Song For Everyone".  As you know, John is the founder of Credence Clearwater Revival from the 70's, one of the best bands of that era.  This new album is compliation of select songs that are sung with well-known country singers and John.  The best...... Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Kid Rock to name a few.  The best with a new spin.  The same thing was done last year by Lionel Richie on his  album - "Tuskegee" with the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Little Big Town, Jennifer Nettles, Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Kenny Chesney.

But a brillient idea - bringing back classics to re-enjoy and get a new following in the process.  I wonder who will be next?  There are many who could do this.  I guess I will have to just wait and see....
