Creedence Clearwater Revival - 21st Anniversary, The Ultimate Collection (1990)

[Classic Rock]

United States

Rating - 4 Stars

Listening to an album by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a somewhat jarring experience, as amongst the classic songs everybody knows and loves is often what can only be described as second rate filler. It isn't always that way of course, but does seem the case more often than most diehards would probably care to admit. For this reason a collection of every one of the band's best songs together on one compilation is something hard to look past. The band's swampy bayou sound it perfectly showcased here, with 24 tracks on display, starting with the irresistible 'Bad Moon Rising' and working through stomping 1950s tinged rock ' n roll like 'Molina' and 'Travelin' Band', and giving the blues a work out on 'The Midnight Special' and 'I Put A Spell On You'. At their core, what makes a good CCR songs irresistible is simple - they just make you feel good when you sing along to them. Try to get through 'Who'll Stop The Rain' or Lookin' Out My Back Door' without smiling, and something about the California sun-soaked croak of John Fogarty's otherworldly vocals make it all the more magical to experience. All in all this a wonderful listen, that like every great album, leaves you wanting more.

'At The Royal Albert Hall (April 14, 1970)' is a live album by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The performance was released as an album to coincide with the documentary film 'Travelin' Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival At The Royal Albert Hall', directed by Bob Smeaton. The recordings document the band's first European tour, and the album includes the entire set recorded on April 14, 1970. An earlier live album, 'The Concert', released in 1980, was initially erroneously titled The Royal Albert Hall Concert, but actually documented a completely different CCR show in Oakland, California, three months before their U.K. tour.

Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California. These members had played together since 1959, first as The Blue Velvets and later as The Golliwogs, before settling on Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967. The band's most prolific and successful period between 1969 and 1971 produced fourteen consecutive Top 10 singles (many of which were double A-sides) and five consecutive Top 10 albums in the United States - two of which, 'Green River' (1969) and 'Cosmo's Factory' (1970), reached number one. The band performed at the 1969 Woodstock festival in Upstate New York, and was the first major act signed to appear there. CCR disbanded acrimoniously in late 1972 after four years of chart-topping success.

'Resurrection' is the debut album by the band Halford. It was recorded over the span of almost two years, from August 1998 to June 2000. The album marks the return of Rob Halford's heavy metal roots after several years of musical experimentation and after publicly confirming his homosexuality. It features the song 'The One You Love To Hate', a duet with metal band Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson.

Robert John Arthur Halford (born 25 August 1951) is an English singer and songwriter. He is best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Judas Priest, which was formed in 1969 and has received accolades such as the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. He has been noted for his powerful and wide ranging operatic vocal style and trademark leather-and-studs image, both of which have become iconic in heavy metal. He has also been involved with several side projects, including Fight, Two, and Halford. Halford is often regarded as one of the greatest metal frontmen and singers of all time.
