Our Take

In the late 60s and early 70s, Creedence Clearwater Revival were a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock 'n' roll. With their signature swampy sound and gritty vocals, they took the music scene by storm. Now, in their latest release, "Mardi Gras," they continue to showcase their undeniable talent and creativity.

From the opening track, "Lookin' for a Reason," it's clear that CCR hasn't lost their touch. The song kicks off with a catchy guitar riff and pulsating drum beat that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Lead vocalist John Fogerty's soulful vocals soar over the instrumentation, pulling listeners in with his raw emotion and charisma.

Tracks like "Someday Never Comes" and "Need Someone to Hold" showcase CCR's versatility, with the band incorporating elements of country and blues into their rock sound. The result is a collection of songs that are both familiar and fresh, with each track offering something new and exciting for listeners to latch onto.

Despite the album's overall strong performance, there are a few missteps along the way. The cover of "Hello Mary Lou" falls flat, lacking the energy and passion that CCR is known for. Additionally, the decision to have each band member sing lead on different tracks feels disjointed and detracts from the cohesiveness of the album as a whole.

Overall, "Mardi Gras" is a solid effort from Creedence Clearwater Revival, showcasing the band's musical prowess and dedication to their craft. While it may not reach the heights of their earlier work, it's a testament to their enduring talent and influence in the world of rock music.

About the artist

Creedence Clearwater Revival

In the pantheon of iconic American rock bands, few stand as tall and resilient as Creedence Clearwater Revival. Formed in 1967 in El Cerrito, California, CCR quickly rose to fame with their unique blend of swampy blues and rootsy rock. Led by the enigmatic frontman John Fogerty, the band embodied the rebellious spirit of the late 60s and early 70s. With hits like "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", and "Fortunate Son", Creedence Clearwater Revival achieved tremendous success both critically and commercially. Their music was a rallying cry for a generation disillusioned with the Vietnam War and social unrest, yet somehow managed to make you want to dance at the same time. Fogerty's soulful voice and blistering guitar work were complemented by the tight rhythm section of Stu Cook on bass and Doug Clifford on drums, as well as the skillful piano playing of John's brother, Tom Fogerty. Together, they created a sound that was raw, gritty, and undeniably catchy. Despite internal conflicts and the band's breakup in 1972, Creedence Clearwater Revival's music continues to resonate with listeners of all ages. Their songs have been covered by countless artists and remain staples of classic rock radio playlists to this day. So whether you're a die-hard CCR fan or just discovering their music for the first time, one thing is for sure - the timeless appeal of Creedence Clearwater Revival is as undeniable as John Fogerty's penchant for writing a killer hook. Dive into their discography, and get ready to be transported to a time when rock 'n' roll reigned supreme.
