Creedence Clearwater Revival

Classic Creedence on 180 Gram heavyweight vinyl including download vouchers Released in the summer of 1968 a year after the summer of love but still in the thick of the Age of Aquarius Creedence Clearwater Revival's selftitled debut album was gloriously outofstep with the times teeming with John Fogerty's Americana fascinations While many of Fogerty's obsessions and Creedence Clearwater Revival's signatures are in place weird blues 'I Put a Spell on You' Stax RampB Wilson Pickett's 'NinetyNine and a Half' rockabilly 'Susie Q' winding instrumental interplay the swamp sound and songs for 'The Working Man' the band was still finding their way Out of all their records discounting 'Mardi Gras' this is the one that sounds the most like its era thanks to the wordless vocal harmonies toward the end of 'Susie Q' the backward guitars on 'Gloomy' and the directionless awkward jamming that concludes 'Walking on the Water' Still the band's sound is vibrant with gutsy arrangements that borrow equally from Sun Stax and the swamp
