Chronicle, Vol. 1 contains every one of Creedence Clearwater Revival's original 19 hit singles -- including "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Travelin' Band," "Up Around the Band," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" -- plus "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," which became a hit at the same time this double ...
Chronicle, Vol. 2 effectively compiles all of the highlights from Creedence Clearwater Revival's career that weren't on the first volume. All of the singles were included on Chronicle, Vol. 1, so Chronicle, Vol. 2 is comprised solely of album tracks. That doesn't mean these are lesser items. On the contrary, the majority of these songs -- "Born on ...
In 2000, Fantasy finally treated the Creedence Clearwater Revival catalog with the respect it deserved, remastering the entire catalog and issuing them in lavish editions with rich liner notes and slipcases. So, when they decided to release a "complete recorded works" box set a year later, the results weren't quite as revelatory as they may have ...
Creedence Gold is a collection of Creedence Clearwater Revival's hit singles. Unfortunately, the album is a little too small to meet anybody's needs. A mere eight tracks are featured on Creedence Gold. Admittedly, these are eight tracks of amazing quality, but those looking for a more thorough collection will be pleased with the much more in-depth ...
Throughout 1969 and into 1970, CCR toured incessantly and recorded nearly as much. Appropriately, Cosmo's Factory's first single was the working band's anthem "Travelin' Band," a funny, piledriving rocker with a blaring horn section -- the first indication their sonic palette was broadening. Two more singles appeared prior to the album's release, ...
This four-disc box set was released commemorating the 25th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival that took place in August 1969, and combined both of the Woodstock albums released in 1970 and 1971 with previously unreleased material. It's a well-known part of the festival's history that many of the participants played self-confessed ...
This album has often taken it on the chin from fans and critics who failed to perceive its value. Long regarded as an inferior release, mostly because it emerged at the tail-end of CCR's history, after Tom Fogerty had quit, and came from the tour associated with unpopular Mardi Gras album, Live In Europe was considered something of a bummer. ...
Released in the summer of 1968 -- a year after the summer of love, but still in the thick of the Age of Aquarius - Creedence Clearwater Revival's self-titled debut album was gloriously out-of-step with the times, teeming with John Fogerty's Americana fascinations. While many of Fogerty's obsessions and CCR's signatures are in place -- weird blues ...
If anything, CCR's third album Green River represents the full flower of their classic sound initially essayed on its predecessor, Bayou Country. One of the differences between the two albums is that Green River is tighter, with none of the five-minute-plus jams that filled out both their debut and Bayou Country, but the true key to its success is ...
Hot Stuff is an entertaining but rather useless compilation of ten random highlights from Creedence Clearwater Revival's career, pulling both singles and album tracks. A couple of choices may be a little suspect, but several of John Fogerty's best songs -- "Born on the Bayou," "Bootleg," "Bad Moon Rising," "Wrote a Song for Everyone" -- are here, ...
The double-disc anthology Positively '60s collects 30 of the decade's definitive tunes. The set ranges from psychedelic pop like the Byrds' "Eight Miles High," Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," and Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" to socially conscious songs like Dion's "Abraham, Martin & John," Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction," and the ...
The Fantasy label's 1973 follow-up to Creedence Gold -- the glibly titled More Creedence Gold -- is by far the superior compilation, boasting 14 tracks including bona fide rock & roll classics like "Run Through the Jungle," "Fortunate Son," "Lookin' Out My Back Door," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Lodi," and "Up Around the Bend." Still, without at ...
Originally released in 1980 as The Royal Albert Hall Concert but quickly retitled when the label discovered the show it captures was recorded in California at the Oakland Coliseum on January 31, 1970, The Concert is as simple as its name. The album simply captures Creedence Clearwater Revival at the height of their powers, when they were the most ...
It could be argued that Creedence Clearwater Revival were the greatest American rock & roll band, and one convincing argument would be that no other of their peers had such a commanding grasp on a variety of American music and could synthesize them in such a bracingly original fashion. It's that synthesis that makes a genre-specific compilation ...
This budget Creedence Clearwater Revival is about as sparse as they come, featuring a mere nine tunes from the classic rock superheroes, only three of which -- "Proud Mary," "Travelin' Band," and "Green River" -- were actual hits. There are far better CCR compilations out there, specifically 1976's Chronicle, Vol. 1. Rollin' on the River feels a ...
