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

Creedence's best
I saw Creedence Clearwater Revisited last year. That band takes a lot of heat for having a capable Fogerty sound-alike stand in for Fogerty. I understand some fans' complaints about the heart and soul of the music being compromised, but my argument was, and still is, that these songs are timeless gems and are worth hearing no matter who's singing them.

So, on to my review ... this is a very admirable greatest hits CD of one of the best bands of the late sixties. All of my favorite Creedence songs are here, including "Bad Moon Rising," "Lodi," "Run Through The Jungle" and "Travelin' Band." To me Creedence Clearwater Revival is the perfect example of how to be a rock band. Fogerty, the band's principal songwriter, can be serious when he needs to be but also knows how to have fun. For example, at the time of the Vietnam War, he wrote songs with such depth and emotion as "Who'll Stop The Rain" and "Fortunate Son." On the other hand, he wrote songs like "Travelin' Band" and "Down on the Corner" -- harmless and fun classics. I also like that this CD includes "Someday Never Comes." That song is very underrated, if you ask me.

This CD has gotten some complaints that "Born on the Bayou" is missing. It is on Chronicle Volume 2 but some fans don't want to pay all that extra money for one song. I have a suggestion on how to remedy that: buy this CD, then download "Born on the Bayou" from iTunes as a single.

Even better than I expected.
This is a great compilation from CCR, & anyone who's a fan should love it. I might have changed a couple of the selections, since it's missing "Born On The Bayou" & "Midnight Special," two songs that I wanted & ended up buying Vol. 2 just to have. I highly recommend this CD. It's worth every penny.

Great memories!
This is a great CD for capturing late 60's/early 70's memories. CCR's lyrics and music not only speak to the mood of the times, but leave a timeless tapestry for anyone trying to understand meaningful rock music. Highly recommended!
