CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL "green river" cd,1969.
have previously done three or maybe four of CCR's seven studio albums, all of which get a love rating from me,as do most of John's solo albums, and this one is no different....just simply "love the man", i mean, hell, who doesnt!!!!????
this is their third album in the space of something like 13 months(released seven in all in just over three years)...so prolific!!!!!
i saw an intervies with Fogerty just prior to his tour here in march, he said this one was his favourite CCR album...probably because all the infighting hadnt started yet and they were technically still a "band!"...
lots of dark overtones in the lyrics though offset with happy,upbeat tunes...
probably only a handful of tracks throughout his entire career that i can say i do not like, none of which are on here...
John is set to release another studio album later this year, but with only a few new songs on it,the rest being covers of old CCR tracks i can say im not looking foreward to it....but whatever, the guy is a musical genius IMO and his place in rock and roll history was carved in stone way back in 1970ish!
yeh, and i know youre thinking...why isnt Bad Moon Rising the best track on here...well,let me tell y'all, these guys studio album tracks were just as good if not better than their singles IMO!!!
