Music reviews of Chronicle, Vol. 1: The 20 Greatest Hits
Music Review: Single Disk Greatest Hits
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a single disk that accurately captures one of the great American groups of the time. Creedence Clearwater Revival was born in California, but managed to grab a taste of Southern culture through the songwriting and playing of front man, John Fogerty. The original tunes tell tales of riverboats in the South, Tin Pan Alley, washboards and hand clapping tales, as well as serious political commentary, like "Fortunate Son". The hits are amazing, from the earliest cover of Dale Hawkins' "Suzie Q", through the Screaming Jay Hawkins song, "I Put a Spell On You", where Fogerty wails like a man possessed. "Looking Out My Back Door" is a humerous tale fueled by imagination. "Down On the Corner" is story about four guys on the corner singing harmonies for the sheer love of it. "Bad Moon Rising", an ominous tale of forboding has a chugging guitar that supplies rhythmic fill. "Up Around the Bend" begins with a searing guitar riff that flies into a powerful song. There is a second disk that is a good companion greatest hits, and a great box set that is more comprehensive, but this one of the best and most affordable "Greatest Hits" collections you can get.
Description of Chronicle, Vol. 1: The 20 Greatest Hits
Recorded 1968-1970 and includes 'Susie Q', 'I Put a Spell on You', 'Proud Mary', 'Bad Moon Rising', 'Lodi', 'Green River', 'Commotion', 'Down on the Corner', 'Fortunate Son', 'Travelin' Band', 'Who'll Stop the Rain', 'Up Around the Bend', 'Run Through the Jungle', 'Lookin' Out My Back Door', 'Long as I Can See the Light', 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine', 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain?', 'Hey Tonight', 'Sweet Hitch-Hiker' & 'Someday Never Comes'. Fantasy label. 1991.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
