CCR would hit their stride with Bayou Country, but their debut put 'em on the map! Please see my reviews of Bayou Country or Willy and the Poor Boys, where I rave about the bonus material and the excellent audio!
I just wanted to let you know that of the several versions of this out there, please do yourself a favor and look for the release date and buy the version (it's even the cheapest version!) released Sept. 30, 2008. CCR finally got the remaster/expanded with bonus material treatment and it flat-out blows away previous versions. All six albums got the treatment, so this great debut, Green River, Bayou Country, Willy, Pendulum and Cosmo's Factory all now sound AWESOME! I downloaded one, then said, what the heck and got 'em ... Read More:

With Concord Music Group having purchased the Fantasy catalog, the fortieth anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival's debut LP provides a suitable opportunity for a fresh round of reissues. All six of the original foursome's albums (from 1968's Creedence Clearwater Revival through 1970's Pendulum) have been struck from new digital masters and augmented by previously unreleased tracks. Those who purchased the 2001 box set can pick up most of the bonus tracks separately as digital downloads (the two longest bonuses are CD-only). Those who didn't buy the box, and think they'll buy all six reissues may want to consider the box set for its inclusion of pre-Creedence work from the Blue Velvets and Golliwogs, the seventh CCR album Mardi Gras, the ...

I play a little. I don't have the best musical ear in the world. I can't sing at all, but I swear the lead guitar throughout the whole album, all those solos that we're heard again and again, like Suzie Q, are out of tune with the rest of the band. You really notice this on a CD instead of a radio or elevator or k-mart store sound system or TV sound track (Apocalypse Now). I find this first LP hard to listen to. I was wondering if technology of some kind can bring the lead guitar solos into tune with the other guitar and bass. Hey, we've just discovered the Doors first LP ran slow since the begining of time, and they fixed it!!!!! (go read a review of the 40th anniversary mix) Maybe that's why Apocalypse Now is so surreal....

CCR's first has two standout songs, two very good songs and a couple of good-but not great songs. Susie Q is one of my all-time favorites. It is a moody, almost stalkerish, love song. Lyrically it's quite simple: "Oh Susie Q, baby I love you, Susie Q" for example. But its the music that drives it to be memorable. A brooding, grungy drum beat layered behind Fogerty's great guitar work. "I put a Spell on You" is an excellent remake of an old classic with Fogerty's gruff voice adding urgency to the lyrics. "The Workingman" and "Ninety nine and a half" are good bluesy rock songs. The rest are decent, but not as memorable. Overall, a very good rock n' roll CD.

I was only 17 and had just finished walking in a peace march when back in the car this voice came waling on the raido. It was John Fogerty singing I Put A Spell On You. He must have because all these years later I have a mini dachshund that I named SusieQ after the flip side of that 45. Songs like Ninety-Nine and a Half were played on the raido all the time. Ahhhh those were the good old days.And this CD is one of the best from back then!But it and enjoy it
