Free Music Notes for Chronicle Vol. 2: Twenty Great CCR Classics
Free Music Review: great addition for the second-tier CCR fan
Hit: 4 Stars
first tier fans need to go straight to the recently released box set, which contains their entire recorded history. fogerty didn't write a bad song for three years, and there were lots and lots of songs. with that said, here's some words on this particular release:it's vastly inferior to volume 1, but i knew that when i bought it for five bucks or so way back in the day. nevertheless, this collection is full of great jams and wonderful bayou-influenced wailing...it should function perfectly fine as a cool-down after listening to vol. 1. "wrote a song for everyone" is fogerty's forgotten masterpiece, and "pagan baby" shows how great CCR could be when they stretched their own sonic boundaries.
Free Music Review: For the fan
Hit: 4 Stars
If you are just looking for a CD with some great CCR songs get Vol. 1. This CD has a title that is not completely correct. It is more a collection of covers or songs that have influenced the sound of CCR. "Mary Lou", "Suzie Q" etc. Some songs rock, some are a little on the tacky sound or are just good songs.
Certainly not a great CD, but if you are a fan and want to know more about the development of the band. Country, old blues, rock 'n roll etc.
Free Music Review: Great Collection, But Where is Effigy?
Hit: 4 Stars
This collection is excellent, although I'd recommend Vol. 1 first. Lots of great songs here that are overlooked by classic rock radio. If you find that you like Vol. 1, but don't want to buy actual albums, this is a great way to delve deeper into the CCR catalouge.
My biggest problem is that "Effigy" isn't present. I think its among CCR's best songs.
Free Music Review: other stuff to check out
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a huge fan of John Fogerty's solo music and his music with CCR. If you enjoy his roots-rock style then I strongly recommend that you check out the following:
1) 24 Hours A Day by The Bottle Rockets
2) Chooglin': A Tribute To The Songs Of John Fogerty
3) Banjos and Sunshine by Sixty Acres
4) Trace by Son Volt
Free Music Review: CCR is great
Hit: 4 Stars
If you like CCR, you probably already have most or all of these songs. I had one other album that was incomplete on a lot of their "good" stuff. Hey, it is the original stuff, so you know what it sounds like. If you don't have all these songs, and you like their style of music, it is a no brainer.Otherwise forget it.
