Eye of the Zombie is the fourth solo studio album by

Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal in 1987. After the Eye of the Zombie tour in 1986, Fogerty did not perform any material from this album in concerts until 2009, when he played "Change in the Weather" at a few shows. The song was also re-recorded in 2009 for The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again
and performed live on several late-night TV shows to promote the album.

After Eye of the Zombie, Fogerty would not release another album until Blue Moon Swamp in 1997.

Cash Box called it "dirty and gritty" and "rock and roll with a vengeance."[5]

Cash Box called "Change in the Weather" a "swampy, grundgy, soulful groove that could have been a CCR hit."[6] Billboard called it a "swampy down-tempo swayer [with] apocalyptic social predictions."[7]
