Creedence Clearwater Revival has just re-released their first six albums to mark the band's 40th anniversary. All of the albums have been digitally remastered and contain an array of rarities: B-sides, unreleased studio and live material, even a summit between the band and Booker T & the Mgs. Some of these extras are phenomenal, specifically a potent and emotional live rendition of "Fortunate S...

Having gone to High School through the beginning of this decade gives me a different look at classic rock than many. Bands who were huge in the 60s and 70s may be relegated to certain obscurity by the younger generation, and bands who may not have been staples of their time have risen to prominence. This ultimately leads me to Creedence Clearwater Revival, a band who absolutely dominated the ch...

When Creedence Clearwater Revival were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, it was a couple of years too late for mainman John Fogerty's guitarist brother Tom. That's not to say that his death prevented him from joining in the fun, as the story goes that his widow brought his urn along to the ceremony in a handbag, giving it a good shuffle along to the reconvend band's performanc...

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - GREEN RIVER (1969)1969, a time when Rock music was metamorphing in every direction, driven by changing cultures, social awareness, and recreational drug use. Bands were discovering Heavy Rock, Folk Rock, the remnants of Blues, and all sounded perfect for the new spaced out population, everyone in the clouds untethered, listening to their Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis...

After two weeks worth of workdays at home due to flu-like symptoms/blizzards/holiday vacations, I can't help but feel like this 'work' place is highly unfamiliar. Break was great. Blizzards rule when you're prepared. We never lost power or cable or internet or any of that stuff; as such, 6+ days of not being able to get around in the snow just made for awesome family time. My youngest son turns...

Creedence Clearwater Revival Appreciation Week : Bonus #4I went and saved the best for last, Vanessa.In 1999, while on tour, Pavement enjoyed busting out a vicious cover of "Sinister Purpose". Here's them at the Glastonbury Festival, shredding the hell out of it.The late, great John Peel stated that this was one of the highlights of the festival.~~

Creedence Clearwater Revival Appreciation Week: Day FourExcerpt from Cross-Tie Walker by Jackson Belleville:"It's day four. Coal Run, Kentucky, 'where what remains gets pressured till it combusts', is thousands of rusty tracks behind me.I imagine my father is back there on his fifth Redhook Rye. Drinkin' from that filthy cup with the broken handle and chipped rim from when he brought it too h...

Creedence Clearwater Revival Appreciation Week: Bonus #3On Blank Generation, Richard Hell and the Voidoids do a cover of "Walking on the Water", which, in my opinion, outshines the original. Three reasons: Hell's delivery captures the fear of the situation much better than Fogerty's, the lead guitar line Robert Quine came up with for the chorus, and the shorter length of their version, which g...

Creedence Clearwater Revival Appreciation Week: Bonus #2I must admit “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” is my least favorite CCR song. I also don’t care too much for the other rain-related track, “Who’ll Stop the Rain”. Despite this, I have to admire R.E.M.’s penchant for playing the track at outdoor shows when the audience is being rained upon.Here’s the band in 1985 playing an in
