Bayou Country (40th Anniversary Edition) [Remastered] – Creedence Clearwater RevivalView More By Creedence Clearwater Revival Our ReviewWith their second album, this San Franciscan quartet permanently moved their musical home to the swamp-rock of the American south. Songs infused with an unusual Americana mythology established songwriter John Fogerty as a writer of great consequence and “Born on the Bayou” and especially “Proud Mary” turned CCR into a hit-making machine, beginning a streak of singles that would keep the band among the era’s most visible. The band’s blues roots are still firmly entrenched. Fogerty’s take on Little Richard’s “Good Golly Miss Molly” reveals his deep debt to Richard’s influence. “Penthouse Pauper” is brutal blues. The near seven-minute harmonica and guitar workout of “Keep On Chooglin’” balances both Fogerty’s pop sense and the band’s need to be heard as serious contenders during the late 1960s, an era that required a certain amount of “jamming” to prove legitimacy. The 40th Anniversary edition includes four bonus cuts: live versions of “Born on the Bayou” and a nicely charged “Proud Mary,” a nearly nine-minute blues jam called “Crazy Otto,” and an alternate take of “Bootleg.”. Customer ReviewsThe Great American Band finds their mojo (4 stars)With Concord Music Group having purchased the Fantasy catalog, the fortieth anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s debut LP provides a suitable opportunity for a fresh round of reissues. All six of the original foursome’s albums (from 1968’s Creedence Clearwater Revival through 1970’s Pendulum) have been struck from new digital masters and augmented by previously unreleased tracks. Those who purchased the 2001 box set can pick CCR is ReBorn! LONG Live CCR!!!! (5 stars) This sophmore release put CCR on the map forever. We loved the 1968 self tiltled release... Couldn't stop playing it. Then came this Bayou Country deal. Calif. Meets The Swamps of Louisana & turns it upseide down with atchy riffs & this new Rock sound. "WOW! That Fogerty fella's really got a groove thing going there" we declared. & the FM world was revolutionized. The CCR 40th Anniv Edition is well worth your ti SWEET (5 stars) This is a rare kind of album.. no filler tracks..this,pink floyds dark side of the moon and bostons debut(boston) are in my opinion the only 3 perfect rock records ever. theres many great rock albums dont hate me but this and the other albums i mentioned are the over the top rock and roll BiographyFormed: 1967 in El Cerrito, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s At a time when rock was evolving further and further away from the forces that had made the music possible in the first place, Creedence Clearwater Revival brought things back to their roots with their concise synthesis of rockabilly, swamp pop, R&B, and country. Though CCR was very much a group in their tight, punchy arrangements, their vision was very much singer, songwriter, guitarist, and leader John Fogerty's. Fogerty's classic compositions for Creedence both evoked enduring images of Americana...
