Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews

Classic Swamp Rock "MUST HAVE"
If there is a single Classic Rock disc to own, this would be it. When you consider this music provided the soundtrack to the Vietnam War, you might consider buying it to be owning a bit of history. Go back up above and read down those song titles. Do you have any fond memories associated with any of them? My problem, at age 56, is that I have a fond memory associated with EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Now CCR plays music that's pretty accessible to everyone that hears it, but when you go below that layer, the things that make the songs stand up for all these years is dynamic songwriting and kickass musicianship across the board.

If you don't believe me, pick up the concert DVD by John Fogerty: The Long Road Home and SEE these hits performed. I believe it's impossible to be unaffected by what you see and hear there. He still performs his music with that 'fire in the belly' you like to see in older musicians.

So back to this disc... he originally recorded these in his 20's. Imagine the 'fire in the belly' factor then...

This one is good stuff. You need to own it.

My husband likes it
This replaces my husbands 8 Track Tape! For the CCR fan, a must-have.

The great version of Suzy Q
This CD is Creedance Clearwater Revival's original recording, and is one of the few with the full, long version of my favorite piece, Suzy Q. The CD was in excellent condition and came in a very short time. I recommend this seller for future purchases.
