Product Description

From Amazon.com

Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams


CD Description

Guided, perhaps, by musical snobbery or roots-rock phobia, some people inexplicably don't like Creedence Clearwater Revival. As the kings of earnest country-inflected rock in an age when radical stances were de rigueur, CCR sported straight-ahead tunes, and may have seemed a bit unhip. But their music stands the test of time with a vengeance. For the doubtful listener, this outstanding, 20-track hits collection has evidence of their greatness in staggering abundance.
Though they produced several excellent albums, Creedence was predominantly a singles band, and CHRONICLE compiles many of their biggest hits. From the slowly building saunter of "SuzieQ" and the spooky, R&B-soaked "I Put a Spell on You" to thefierce "Fortunate Son" and the swampy blues of "Run Throughthe Jungle", CHRONICLE features the ensemble's signature tunes. Beautifully melancholy songs "Who'll Stop the Rain" and"Someday Never Comes" play off sunny, melodic anthems "Downon the Corner" and "Lookin' Out My Back Door", fully revealing the band's wide range. The group's tight, no-frills musicianship leaves John Fogerty's keening voice and superb songwriting at the fore, and the results--brought together here on one of rock's best greatest-hits packages--make for some of the genre's most endearing and enduring music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy Bad Moon Rising Instead, 22 Sep 2003
By G. M. Dobb "lord_vinyl" (Bicester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a really good CCR collection (albeit without "Midnight Special").

However a 2003 collection called "Bad Moon Rising" has the same track listing as Chronicles Vol. 1 with two additional tracks (Born On The Bayou and Wrote A Song For Everyone) AND it's three pounds cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY CD!, 19 Dec 2005
What can I say about this CD, other than that it's absolutely great. CCR is such a great band and they made dozens of instant classics. These are collected on this CD and on the CCR Chronicle Vol. 2 CD. Both should be a part of any music fan's collection. You won't skip through any of the tracks, not on this CD nor the other. I can recommend every song, such as Suzie Q, I Put a Spell on You, Travellin Band, Down on the Corner, Up Around the Bend, I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Buy this NOW! But don't forget to buy Vol. 2 too, which includes among others Good Golly Miss Molly and Midnight Special. A total of 20+20=40 songs. With these two CD's you will have one of the best CCR collections available. Perfect as an introduction to CCR, but also die-hard CCR fans will love this compilation. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential!, 29 Nov 2002
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
No American rock composer has ever written so many songs of such consistently high quality as John Cameron Fogerty.
This album comprises most of Creedence Clearwater Revival's must-have songs (you'll need "Chronicle vol. II" as well!), among them such classic tracks as "Bad Moon Rising", "Proud Mary" (no, it's not an Ike & Tina Turner-composition!), "Fortunate Son", "Travelin' Band" and the soulful "Long As I Can See The Light".

This is the best single-disc CCR compilation available. All you have to remember is that a single-disc compilation really isn't enough.
