Eye of the Zombie is a 1986 album by American singer/songwriter John Fogerty. It was his first album with a backing band, and it includes the Creedence-inspired track "Change in the Weather" as well as "Wasn't That a Woman" and "Soda Pop," his first forays into 60s-70s Motown-sounding funk and R&B. The album was not received well by critics and had lukewarm chart success despite a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal in 1987. In 2009 he dusted off "Change in the Weather" for the first time since the "Eye of the Zombie" tour in 1986. The song was also re-recorded in 2009 for The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again.

He would not release another album until Blue Moon Swamp in 1997.
