Is it possible that one of the best-regarded bands of all time is underrated? Everyone likes Creedence, but how many people would put them in their top 10 classic rock bands? Its so easy to overlook them in the name of other Bigger bands like The Who and Led Zeppelin, but no one this side of the Beatles hooked a tune quite like John Fogerty and the boys.
This's possibly their most fun album: tellingly it includes Down on the Corner and Fortunate Son, two of their loosest, jangliest hits. Also tellingly, it perfectly fits the trajectory out of the muck of Bayou Country and dustiness of Green River on out into the sun proper, but hasn't quite hardened into the perfectly honed punch of Cosmo's Factory. Still wild-eyed, still effortlessly catchy, another in a long line of (maybe) underappreciated albums 4.5/5
