 Rating:  - check this out tooI 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 Rating: - Sensational and refreshing album!This album brings us the best memories of Fogerty in his successful period with the Credence Clearwater Revival . What a sincere country ballads , filled with charm , humor and expressiveness , specially Everymen , Champagne love , The legend of Alcatraz, Joyful resurrection , Mistery train , and I love you I guess you will share so nice and great moments with your closed friends with this superb album . Rating:  - Another Fogerty With TalentJohn Fogerty certainly stands as a integral part of rock n roll especially as the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival. However, lost in the mix was his older brother Tom Fogerty. While with Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Fogerty's role was limited to playing rhythm guitar. Out of frustration, Tom quite CCR and recorded several solo CD's. Whereas on a commercial basis, Tom Fogerty's solo career did not flourish, on an artistic basis there is plenty of creativity on many of the tracks of this greatest hits collection. Tom actually sounds like a sweeter version of his more famous brother which is good in its own way. And there are some catchy tunes in this compilation. Joyful Resurection is loaded with strong ...

His solo career (as well as CCR's final album, Mardi Gras) proved to the world that John Fogerty was the brains behind the band. OK, so John was a dictator, but could CCR have had such a wildly successful career without that type of talent, vision and leadership? Anyhow, despite all the talk about being the "original lead singer and writer" for the Blue Velvets (what the band called themselves in the early 1960s), Tom Fogerty has no distinct vocal style, or particularly strong songwriting ability. (But then neither did the Grateful Dead, and look how successful they were.) So his entire solo catalog suffers from generic ... Read More: Rating: - You are missed, TomIf you have any doubt as to Tom Fogerty's invaluable contribution to Creedance Clearwater Revivial, just simply remember the group's material AND popularity just plummeted after his departure. And if you are not aware of just how prolific the man was following his departure, then do yourself a favor and purchase this CD. True, it ain't Creedance, but, given how badly Creedance stunk on their final two albums, maybe that's all right. And if you insist: listen to the track, "Joyful Resurrection" on this CD (or the "Zephyr National" album from whence that song originally came), and you will swear that that "MUST have been a track from 'Cosmo's Factory'!" 'Course...as "Zephyr National" was the ONLY album ever released by ANY ex-member of Creedance ... Read More: |
