Creedence Clearwater Review / Adam And The Ants Preview (Album 4)

(Creedence preview here) So, Creedence Clearwater Revival's Cosmo's Factory is a pretty steady stream of Southern Rock and Roll. All of it. The couple of covers (most notably Before You Accuse Me for myself) are good covers, and the songs that aren't covers are good songs. Looking Out My Backdoor is one of those songs that pretty much everyone knows, whether they know who sings it or not. It's one of those classic 70's songs that seems to live on in infamy in the nether of music. Up Around The Bend just gives me flashbacks of every helicopter ride I ever took over Nam. Before You Accuse Me is a really grand song, but I think that I prefer the Eric Clapton cover. It's all around a good album, to be sure. When I think Southern Rock I usually don't think of these guys for some reason, my brain just seems to skip to country rock. I much prefer Southern rock to country rock. I like this album. it may get some play time on my iPod when I listen to everything else. I think that this is probably going to be my favorite decade, I can tell already.

Favorite Songs:
     Before You Accuse Me
     Looking Out My Backdoor
     Up Around The Bend
     Travelin' Band

"'We used ocarinas, echo chambers, textures from John Barry and Ennio Morricone soundtracks, rockabilly guitar riffs from Duane Eddy and Hank Marvin. We were even twanging rulers on desks and recorded the results!' You can also hear even weirder sonic traced - the thundering tom toms of the Glitter Band, the thrilling snare-drum salutes of Loyalist marching bands, the mutant disco of Ze Records, even Aboriginal grunts and stomps borrowed from Rolf Harris." - John Lewis
