Clutch Debut Dialed-Up Cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son”

Clutch have premiered their cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s “Fortunate Son” as part of The Weathermaker Vault Series which includes different covers of Camel, ZZ Top and a revised version of their own “Electric Worry” so far. The band recently performed with Hatebreed and the Dropkick Murphys in show described as an “Irish acoustic punk caveman naive tour” at the Palladium in October 2019. They also played at Psycho Las Vegas in the summer of 2019 along with bands like The Misfits, Mark Lanegan and many others.

The new track is part of a collection of recorded songs from the “Weathermaker Vault Series” which was released in the summer of 2019. The new music announcement earlier this year was made by frontman Neil Fallon who wrote, “Clutch has had some sorely needed time off since our last tour, but it didn’t take long for us to get bored, so we recorded some songs. We’ll be releasing them over the course of this summer. We’re calling them the ‘Weathermaker Vault Series.”

Clutch’s latest album, Book Of Bad Decisions sold 26,000 copies in America during its first week of availability, giving the group its third consecutive Top 20 album on the Billboard 200. Book Of Bad Decisions was recorded and completed at Sputnik Sound studio in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Vance Powell. The album cover was designed by renowned photographer Dan Winters.
