iTunes Review

Creedence Clearwater Revival emerged in the late 1960s as a lean, mean, hit-single scoring machine. While their individual albums feature great diversity and provide wonderful snapshots of moments in time — 1969’s Green River and 1970’s Cosmo’s Factory, in particular — this 20-track collection sums up their career with an almost unimaginable amount of success. “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Lodi,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Travelin’ Band”…the list is long and impressive, and unrelenting in its single-minded quest to deliver the truth in somewhere around three and a half-minutes. The consistency almost doesn’t seem possible. Yet, it exists. The extended 11-minute jam on Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” was a slight nod to the San Francisco scene that CCR came from but were never comfortably a part of. Singer John Fogerty felt more at home, imagining the Louisiana Bayou and the “swamp rock” that his ominous guitar tone suggested, which is pitched to perfection among the dark clouds of “Run Through the Jungle” and “Who’ll Stop the Rain.”

Customer Reviews

w00t!!

I wrote a review for the Chronicles album for CCR and said that they set the standards for all great bands along with the Beatles. Well, I'm standing by what I said. CCR rocks! The only clear problem with this album, along with Chronicles, is that it's missing Born on a Bayou. Otherwise, great stuff! Rock on CCR! ROCK ON!!

There's never a bad time for CCR....

That's it. That's all there is to it. Every time one of their songs comes on the radio you say "Hell yeah" and turn it up. I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't. That's a testament to great song writing and musicianship. This is my dad's music. This is my music. This will be music that my kids will hear on the radio and say "CCR, hell yeah!" Turn it up kids, dad doesn't mind.

Best collection of Creedence

Not only are the songs from their best selections, the price cannot be beat. For $10, you basically double what you'd normally get from an iTunes CD. One song after another exemplifies the great works of Creedence, including my all time favorites, (which were written and sung to protest the Vietnam War, by the way), including, Have You Ever Seen The rain?, Green River, Run Through The Jungle, and the best ever, Fortunate Son. They are all good, even the ones that weren't as popular in their day just for the genious voice alone of John Fogerty. A must have for any collector, or just to appreciate true legends in their time.

Biography

Formed: 1967 in El Cerrito, CA

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s

At a time when rock was evolving further and further away from the forces that had made the music possible in the first place, Creedence Clearwater Revival brought things back to their roots with their concise synthesis of rockabilly, swamp pop, R&B, and country. Though CCR was very much a group in their tight, punchy arrangements, their vision was very much singer, songwriter, guitarist, and leader John Fogerty's. Fogerty's classic compositions for Creedence both evoked enduring images of Americana...
