When Will I Be Loved
Bruce Springsteen steuerte zum John Fogerty Album "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again" den populären Song "When Will I Be Loved" bei. Das Duett wurde von Phil Everly (Everly Brothers) im Jahre 1959 komponiert und 1960 als Single veröffentlicht. Die Erstveröffentlichung landete in den amerikanischen Billboard Charts auf Platz 8.

15 Jahre später wurde "When Will I Be Loved" von Linda Ronstadt auf "Heart Like a Wheel" veröffentlicht und auch als 7" Single ausgekoppelt. Linda Ronstadt landete einen internationalen Hit und führte mit "When Will I Be Loved" mehrere Wochen die amerikanischen Country- und Billboard Charts an. 

Ferner wurde der Song von John Denver, The Little River Band, Gram Parson (Flying Burrito Brothers), Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood (für die amerikanische Casting Show "American Idol") und Vince Gill (Soundtrack zum Film "8 Seconds") eingespielt. 

  

Lyrics:

When Will I Be Loved
  
I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved

I've been pushed down
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved

When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart into
It happens every time

I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved

When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart into
It happens every time

Oh, I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
Tell me, when will I be loved 

Die "Country Standard Time" schrieb am 7. Juni 2009:

The new disc contains 12 songs, illustrating the influence country and roots music have had on Fogerty and his own songwriting.
Fogerty played all instruments on the original, but not here. His backing band includes Buddy Miller, Kenny Aronoff, Greg Leisz, Jay Bellerose, Jason Mowery, Herb Pedersen, Jodie Kennedy, Oren Waters, Chris Chaney, Dennis Crouch and Hunter Perrin.
"I'd long thought I'd do another Blue Ridge Rangers album," Fogerty said, "and not make the mistake of playing all the instruments. These are fantastic players who really understand what the Blue Ridge Rangers vibe is about."
Also helping were Bruce Springsteen and Eagles' Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit who worked, respectively, with Fogerty on the Everly Brothers' When Will I Be Loved and Rick Nelson's Garden Party. The album was produced by Fogerty with Lenny Waronker and Julie Fogerty serving as associate producers.
The album was recorded, for the most part, at Berkeley Street Studios in Santa Monica, Cal. with Bob Clearmountain mixing. Tracking began last October at Village Recorders in Santa Monica with engineer Mike Piersante Additional sessions took place after the first of the year including the Springsteen contribution.
