Fresh Cream, the fiirst album by Cream was released in 1966 and really does sound fresh after nearly fifty years. It is one of the first hard rock albums and anyone who thinks Metallica and Iron Maiden are 'heavy' should listen to this barnstorming collection. The traditional blues are never far away, but the band crank them up by one crucial notch (as on Willie Dixons' Spoonful and Skip James's I'm So Glad). Eric Clapton's guitar playing is bluesy, loud and dramatic, while Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce provide him with a flexible jazz-based rhythm section, so, collectively, they expand their ideas in a way rarely heard up to the mid-sixties (but which was later much emulated by the likes of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple). Jack Bruce is the perfect singer of the blues, because, as a crooner, he is unlike any other blues singer. Bruce and Eric Clapton harmonise well together, making their vocals more popular and psychedellic-sounding, and Clapton's less-utilised lead vocals are actually pretty good - pointing the way to his later solo career.

Stephen Erlewine sums up Fresh Cream very well at AllMusic, although I disagree that it now sounds tame. If I have a criticism, and it is a minor one, there is a tad too much of Bruce's harmonica on the album. However, they were ahead of their time, but could not step outside of the mid-sixties when harmonica was a key part of R'n'B. Fresh Cream is the best record I have dug out of mothballs in ages, and, if you like hard rock, blues-rock or music that is played by exemplary musicians, treat yourself to Fresh Cream.

JOHN FOGERTY "premonition" cd, 1998

solo career stats:
studio albums........8
compilations..........2
live albums............2
singles..................26

this album: #29 US, #25 AU, #55 CAN, #172 UK (gold status in AU,CAN)
singles:
"premonition"..................#19 US
"almost saturday night".....no chart action

John Fogerty's first live album...
recorded in front of a small audience in a studio setting...
plenty of CCR tracks on here plus a few solo favourites also...
the songs are a good career-spanning set that encompasses pretty much what you'd expect of him...
good solid production without overdubs,well, without blatantly obvious overdubs...
sounds a bit raw and ragged in places but a good allround album that showcases just how good this guy was/is and highlights just how many great songs he has written over the decades...
i also have his other live album "long road home", but i have that one on dvd, i prefer that one, but probably more for the fact its an audio-visual thing.
all up though, a very good album from a legendary singer/songwriter...
i dont score live albums, to me they are bad, good or brilliant, this one sits somewhere between good and brilliant for me.

from the album:

"born on the bayou"

Damian Calcagne Band I have no idea where to slot these guys in--they combine a lot of elements. Love that B-3 but it's not just about that--every player is terrif and overall (songs, playing, production), it's just great. They call what they do "swampadelica--works for me: http://swampadelica.com/ << They are somehow loosely aligned with Webb Wilder q.v. Kinda like a jam band but shorter, more coherent songs...

JOHN FOGERTY "revival" cd, 2007

album stats: #14 US, #23 AU, #17 CAN, #90 UK
singles:
"dont you wish it was true"......no chart action
"creedence song"...................no chart action
"gunslinger"..........................no chart action

John's seventh solo studio set...
a bit more 'rockier' than a lot of his solo material overall, some tracks as heavy as "fortunate son" and say "travellin' band" from the CCR days...
lyrically its also politically charged with numerous swipes at the Bush Presidency and the Iraq war...
only two great fogerty tracks on this one, and both of those were singles in "dont you wish it was true" and "gunslinger"...
strange because the other single "creedence song" goes in at opposite ends of the spectrum with that one being the only one i dont like on the album...
all up not a bad Fogerty album, nowhere near the class of "centrefield" and "eye of the zombie"...
this is probably not one for the average fan,stick to the above two albums...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

best track: dont you wish it was true
worst track: creedence song

tracks:

1. dont you wish it was true ***

3. creedence song *
4. broken down cowboy **
5. river is waiting **
6. long dark night **
7. summer of love **
8. natural thing **
9. i aint right **
