View More By Creedence Clearwater Revival Our ReviewCreedence Clearwater Revival built their reputation on the singing and songwriting of leader John Fogerty, whose soulful and gritty vocals and quick, concise pop sense gave the band a relentless string of Top 40 hits at the turn of 1970s. However, the El Cerrito, California quartet’s debut album begins with a different focus. “Porterville” was the one Fogerty standout, pointing towards the band’s future direction. The remainder of the album features tight ensemble playing on a number of extended jams and well-chosen covers. A bluesy read of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell On You” kickstarts things, while an eight-minute workout of Dale Hawkins’ “Susie Q” became the group’s first hit. Wilson Pickett’s “Ninety-Nine and A Half (Won’t Do)” plays up their funky R&B side. The production is simple and clear, immersing itself in the simple pleasures of excited guitar tones and a rhythm section that powered like an unencumbered locomotive. The 40th Anniversary Edition includes four bonus cuts: “Call it Pretending,’ a b-side, two live tracks (eleven minutes of “Suzie Q” and a scathing “Ninety-Nine and a Half”) and a tight early studio version of Bo Diddley’s “Before You Accuse Me.”. Customer ReviewsThe Great American Band’s debut (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 OMG! (5 stars) WHOOOO HOOO Now we're Talkin'!!! GEEZER ROCK THAT PUTS A SPELL ON YOU & NEVER STOPS ROCKING! If you want to hear Great American Rock this is it. 1968 was quite a year. Wars / Social UnReast / Political UpHeavil & The Generation Gap... My Father used to say "This Long Hair Crap is the End of the World!" & call his four sons "Girls." Funny how the times change. Now it's the Red-Necks who have the long h Stu Cook is still alive (4 stars) Just to correct a fellow poster, who may be mistaking Stu Cook (CCR bassist, still living) with Tom Fogerty (CCR rhythm guitar, John's older brother, died in 1990). Regardless, CCR is as good as American music gets, and John Fogerty (duh) is the reason. He wrote the songs, he sang the songs, and he played lead guitar. The band's demise was due to the rest of the band not recognizing the genius in their midst. 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.
