The great music of Creedence! Sep 22, 2009
Creedence is probably the most uniquely talented band of all time,there's so many elements in their music.Styles such as southern rock,blues,mountain music,etc.It's hard for someone not to be caught tapping their toes or singing along to the energetic songs such as -Travelin Man,lookin' out my back door,Fortunate Son,Run through the jungle,all the way to the memorable songs of 'Have you ever seen the rain' and my favorite song 'someday never comes'.My grandparents got me into Creedence when I was little and since then their songs have always had a special place in my heart.
CCR Sep 13, 2009
I love this version of CCR. I bought this CD just to replace my existing cassette tape which was so worn out form extensive use. This is one of their best in my opinion.
Amazon needed to be included in this review because they do such a terrific job in delivery. Never had a problem with Amazon so far.
music that stands the test of time with a vengeance Sep 06, 2009
Creedence Clearwater Revival made so much good music that they could never put all their best hits on just a single CD; their fans will be happy to know that there's a second Chronicle CD with hits as well as quite a few more CDs of their tunes to boot! John Fogarty's vocals are never less than perfect--and wow, how he could write a song! Creedence Clearwater Revival performed with a style and a sound all their own; and their music sounds just as good today as it did when it was originally released. In addition, the quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and that artwork is very well done.
"Susie Q" starts the album with a great number; these guys do this without ever missing a beat! The music is great for dancing or listening even today; and that's terrific! The band also does an outstanding cover of "I Put a Spell on You;" they put their stamp on this number by changing some of the keys and adding a few subtle tempo changes during the song. "I Put a Spell on You" is awesome! "Proud Mary" is one of their best ever; and I could never tire of hearing Creedence Clearwater Revival perform this number without ever letting go of a single superfluous note! "Proud Mary" is a major highlight of this CD.
"Bad Moon Rising" gets its strength from fine music and singing; I really like this tune and it deserves its place on this album. "Green River" features the band in their natural element--singing and playing great rock and roll music with maybe just a little touch of country in that guitar arrangement. "Green River" rocks! "Down on the Corner" was always one of my favorite numbers by this group; this leaves nothing to be desired--the music is all THAT good. In addition, listen for the classic, ferocious "Fortunate Son;" what a great tune! Creedence Clearwater revival really shows them how it's done with numbers like these.
"Travelin' Band" has a great beat that rocks hard; and there's yet another jewel in "Who'll Stop the Rain." "Who'll Stop the Rain" has a masterful arrangement and this is Creedence Clearwater Revival at their finest. "Up Around the Bend" is another rockin' tune; and I really like "Lookin' out My Back Door." Great!
"Long as I Can See the Light" has a most sensitive arrangement that works wonders for this ballad; and there's quite a strong, memorable rendition of "I Heard It through the Grapevine." "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" impresses me greatly; they bat this straight out of the ballpark! "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" really rocks great and the CD ends strong with Creedence Clearwater Revival doing "Someday Never Comes." "Someday Never Comes" blows my mind and it leaves me wanting more!
Creedence Clearwater Revival will always be one of the very best rock bands ever; and albums like this one prove it. This is a must-have for their fans; and anyone just discovering their artistry would do well to add this CD to their collections. This is rock and roll in all its glory, occasionally mixed with awesome rockabilly and/or Southern rock. It just doesn't get better than this.

nice oldies from the past Aug 01, 2009
It is so nice to listen to these oldies from the past. Just like being at their concerts.
Probably the best compilation ever Jul 07, 2009
I have never seen any other band to be so masterfully chronicled on a single CD. I got this as a birthday gift on cassette format (those were the days) from a very close high-school friend about 12 or 13 years ago, when I had no idea who or what CCR was. This collection has all of CCR's single A-sides, plus "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". All of their best is here, and everything here is top-notch. I subsequently bought CCR's full discography, but still prefer to pop this baby when I want to listen to them.
