Creedence Clearwater Revival - Platinum (2004)
Mp3
CBR 320
Front Cover Art




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, RB, 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 Fogertys. Fogertys classic compositions for Creedence both evoked enduring images of Americana and reflected burning social issues of the day. The bands genius was their ability to accomplish this with the economic, primal power of a classic rockabilly ensemble.

The key elements of Creedence had been woodshedding in bar bands for about a decade before their breakthrough to national success in the late 60s. Johns older brother Tom formed the Blue Velvets in the late 50s in El Cerrito, CA, a tiny suburb across the bay from San Francisco. By the mid-60s, with a few hopelessly obscure recordings under their belt, theyd signed to Fantasy, releasing several singles as the Golliwogs that went nowhere. In fact, theres little promise to be found on those early efforts, primarily because Tom, not John, was doing most of the singing. The group only found themselves when John took firm reigns over the bands direction, singing and writing virtually all of their material.


Here are two CDs containing 40 tracks -- all of Creedence Clearwater Revivals singles along with album cuts -- selected and sequenced by European rock journalist Lennart Persson, an intimate of John Fogerty. The big pluses are that these tracks are the remastered versions (in 24 bit), the sequencing is unique and provocative, and the music itself, as you already know if you are reading this, is killer. This is arguably a better issue than the American Chronicle series because of the new dimension added by not placing tracks chronologically.
