Format:Audio CD
The 20-track "Chronicle" retrospective is by far the best single-disc Creedence compilation out there, and this second volume makes the "Chronicle" package even better. There are no hit singles here, those were all on vol. I, but plenty of great album tracks, and while few of them are as immediately recognizable as "Proud Mary" or "Bad Moon Rising", the overall quality of this material is very, very high.
Creedence put out some fabulous double-A-sided singles, but they weren't just a singles band...there were excellent album tracks stacked away on all of their LPs, and these are (most of) the best of them. Acoustic folk-rock, tough, swampy blues-rock, rockabilly and country, it's all here, and songs like the blistering rocker "It Came Out Of The Sky", the country ballad "Looking For A Reason", the spriritual-like "Don't Look Now", a groovy rendition of Leadbelly's "Midnight Special", and the bluesy "Tombstone Shadow" are among Creedence's finest.
A superb compilation, almost as transcendent as volume I.

If you already have Volume 1 of Chronicle, you'll probably like this collection as well! As the liner notes say: "You can bet on it!" "Born on the Bayou" and "The Midnight Special" are among 2 of their biggest hits. Other songs which aren't played on the radio but still worthwhile are "It Came Out of the Sky", "Pagan Baby", and one of John Fogerty's best songs "Wrote a Song for Everyone".

Another excellent and a great CD collection from this second volume where the first one left off. With more than just all their hits that CCR fans need to know this is gotta be it from a all-american rock'n'roll band in which they invaded rock music history forever!

Big Let Down!
As the title says, Volume two is a big let down after Volume one. The first five tracks are awful -- "Suzi-Q" is actually Suzi-Q part 2, and is virtually an instrumental version... Read more

Worth it for one song alone
Creedance Clearwater Revival are as great a singles band as you'll ever hear - the fact this is Vol. 2 and still not a duffer in sight, says everything. Read more
