Information

Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1968 debut mixes covers and original material, and while it doesn’t contain any of John Fogerty’s best-known songs, there is more than enough here to make it worth your while.

“Creedence Clearwater Revival” opens with the band’s first single, a powerful rendition of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You”, followed by the Fogerty original “The Working Man”, and a tough eight-minute take on Dale Hawkins’ “Suzie Q”.

CCR also covers the Steve Cropper-Wilson Pickett classic “Ninety-Nine And A Half (won’t do)”, and John Fogerty plays some of the greatest blues guitar of his career on the highly underrated gem “Get Down Woman”, one of the few real blues songs Fogerty has written. The opening twelve-bar solo is one of the greatest I’ve ever heard laid down by a white guitar player, and the simple but highly effective 24-bar solo between the second and the third verse smoulders as well.

And then there’s “Porterville”, a raw, menacing rock song with great hooks and a powerful lead vocal by Fogerty, and the funky blues-rock of “Gloomy” (with some weird backward guitars).

The album closes with the only Creedence song credited to Tom Fogerty, “Walk On The Water”, which begins well, before fading out with a somewhat tedious, directionless jam session.

But it takes more than a couple of minutes of awkward jamming to ruin an otherwise fine rock n’ roll record.
Creedence’s sound on this their first album is lean and muscular, dominated by John Fogerty’s less-is-more lead guitar and the busy drumming of Doug Clifford. It may be slightly more primitive and not quite as original as their later records, but it towers above the rock n’ roll of its time.
