Our Take

Ah, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the band that gave us such timeless classics as "Proud Mary" and "Bad Moon Rising". This Australian Exclusive Ultimate Collection is like a treasure trove of the band's greatest hits, all packaged up neatly for your listening pleasure.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back in time to the golden era of rock and roll. The twangy guitars, the swampy rhythms, the gravelly vocals of John Fogerty - it's all here in full force. Each track is like a mini time capsule, capturing the spirit of the late 60s and early 70s with absolute precision.

But what really sets this collection apart is the sheer depth of the band's catalog. Sure, you've got your radio-friendly hits like "Fortunate Son" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", but dig a little deeper and you'll unearth hidden gems like "Lodi" and "Someday Never Comes".

It's not all sunshine and rainbows, though. The album does suffer from a lack of cohesion at times, with the tracklist jumping from high-energy rockers to slow-burning ballads with little warning. But hey, that's part of the charm of Creedence Clearwater Revival - they were never a band to be pigeonholed.

Overall, this Ultimate Collection is a must-have for any fan of classic rock. It's a rollicking good time from start to finish, guaranteed to have you tapping your feet and singing along. So go ahead, crank up the volume and let the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival wash over you like a warm, comforting wave of nostalgia.

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.
