Pop 282 of 500 'Joy of my life' John Fogerty 1997 cover by Chris Stapleton
Joy of My Life" is a 1997 song written and originally recorded by American musician John Fogerty. It was released on his 1997 fifth solo album Blue Moon Swamp. In 2022, the song was released as a single by country music singer Chris Stapleton as a single from his album Starting Over.
It is a conversational song about his wife Julie, and the first love song Fogerty has written unless "Long As I Can See the Light" is counted. The tune started to evolve in 1991 when Fogerty attended the Oshkosh aviation show in Wisconsin. When the organizers asked "How's Julie?" Fogerty always answered "Well' she's the joy of my life". Then the organizers: "You're always saying 'She's the joy of my life'. You should write a song." After getting serious with the dobro in 1992, Fogerty wrote the riff for the song at the Kern River draining an area of the southern Sierra Nevada mountains northeast of Bakersfield in California. The words started coming after returning back home, putting the kids down and lying in bed with his wife. Fogerty also stated he sings "Joy of My Life" to his wife every night. Eventually, it became John Fogerty's first love song.
