from my library (cd)
A gift from a mate. And how appropriate that this would come up right when his Fogerty concert does. Hope it was as
good as this, but I can't see how that's possible. I have all of the studio albums, but nothing on cd, so this is a
welcome addition. Twenty tracks and loving sixteen of them. Hard to top that. This has to be one of the best
selling compilation albums of all time, showing as 8x platinum. Whenever I see the catalogue albums chart, it is
still selling. Sometimes you just don't realize how great an artist was until you hear all of the hits together.
All of the major hits are on here plus some b-sides that could have been hits. Didn't even know there was a volume
2 that will now be added to my list. All but three tunes on here are Fogerty originals, showing the man was a
master of his art. Hated to see them call it quits, but it is better to burn out than to fade away. Had to go with
an original for my favorite. but I Heard It Through The Grapevine is one of the few covers I like better than the
original. One of the best drumming performances ever from Doug Clifford. Love every cymbal crash. Drum machines my
ass.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Commotion
Best Track - Who'll Stop The Rain
Long as I remember The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
