JOHN FOGERTY "blue moon swamp" cd,1997.
the final Fogerty/CCR album to post on MD since i joined up in July 2010(but who's counting days?!).
and most definately my least favourite Fogerty collection ever, which is strange, im a huge fan but am not keen on this one, yet allmusic rate it a converted 2.7(9/10) and every review on amazon.com gives it one hellof a rap!!!! i dont get it, but obviously other do!
i cant see anything great on this one, and three of the fourteen tracks i simply dont like(a rarity for me with Fogerty albums)
this one is just too laid back for my liking for his music, he just seems uninspiring vocally also...best track for me here is one dedicated to his then new bride in "joy of my life" which pips "walking in a hurricane" for best track...
not really what i'd call a Fogerty album, but hey, he made it, i bought it...he wins!!!!!
