  • The only thing better than obtaining Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Chronicles' is getting all their original albums first hand. One minor problem with 'Chronicles 2' is that the song sequence is sometimes out of place. This second collection is basically the leftovers of 'Chronicles' 1. But, boy, what leftovers.

Overview

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle Volume Two | Discogs
Chronicle, Vol. 2 effectively compiles all of the highlights from Creedence Clearwater Revival's career that weren't on the first volume. All of the singles were included on Chronicle, Vol. 1, so Chronicle, Vol. 2 is comprised solely of album tracks. That doesn't mean these are lesser items. On the contrary, the majority of these songs -- 'Born on the Bayou,' 'Tombstone Shadow,' 'Wrote a Song for Everyone,' 'It Came Out of the Sky,' and 'Midnight Special' -- rank among their best performances. Of course, a couple of great tracks remain on CCR's individual albums, notably 'Bootleg,' but Chronicle, Vol. 2 is an ideal choice for listeners who want a little more than the hits, but are unwilling to delve into the albums proper.

Like others have stated, I also find it annoying how radio stations will take three or four songs by each artist and wear them out to the point of overkill year after year while constantly overlooking so many other great tunes that deserve the same airplay given to the overplayed hits. This is exactly what makes Chronicle volume 2 a refreshing collection of songs for Creedence Clearwater Revival fans. John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford were responsible for more great rock n' roll in the brief span of four years than most rock bands can produce in their whole careers! The band's first Chronicle album from 1976 is a must-have that includes all of their best known radio hits, but this excellent second volume serves up an impressive selection of great overlooked material that hasn't been worn out by every classic rock station in America.

The Beatles had a bigger impact on the world and the Rolling Stones stayed together a whole lot longer, but neither band consistently produced as many pure rock n' roll tunes of better quality than Creedence did from 1968 to 1971. As Bruce Springsteen said when inducting these guys into the hall of fame, 'they weren't always the hippest rock n' roll band in the world, just the best'. If Creedence Clearwater Revival isn't the greatest rock band of the 60's and 70's, there hasn't been a band on the radio in the past 30 years who can touch them.

At least half the songs on this CD equal the quality of any hit single the band ever released. There is a great mix of strong original Fogerty tunes and excellent reworkings of classic tunes by others that Creedence delivers with as much feeling and conviction as the original artists. The swamp rock masterpiece 'Born on the Bayou' is the one essential hit here that was left off of the first Chronicle CD and is arguably the ultimate Creedence song, if not the greatest swamp rock tune ever recorded. John Fogerty is among the most powerful rock singers alive and this is one song that proves it. John belts this classic with enough grit, power, and passion to make overrated rock vocalists like Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart sound truly weak and inferior in comparison.

'Pagan Baby' is another hard-hitting Fogerty rocker that features a hot extended guitar solo and another gritty, powerhouse vocal performance from John. Fogerty's underrated guitar work was one of the band's strongest assets which is clearly heard in their rockin' arrangement of Little Richard's 'Good Golly Miss Molly', 'Tombstone Shadow', and the great boogie rocker 'It came out of the sky' that has a nice Chuck Berry feel to it.

'Night time is the right time', 'Midnight Special', and 'Born to Move' show the band's blues-rock side, while the Elvis Presley tune 'My baby left me' shows how well Creedence could play authentic Sun records rockabilly. 'Wrote a song for everyone' is one of their best overlooked ballads and 'Lookin' for a reason' is nothing but pure country music that few rock bands could pull off so convincingly.

Creedence Clearwater Revival managed to take everything that was great about rock music in the 1950's and make it popular all over again at a time when psychedelic excess and flower power had taken over the world. Creedence offered nothing but 'feel-good' rock n' roll with more beat, rhythm, and drive than any other rock band of their era. Their music was simple, direct, raw, powerful, and totally infectious. If you already have their original Chronicle CD but want to dig a little deeper into the rest of the best that this great band had to offer, this is the collection you need.
