Twelve covers cherry-picked from Creedence’s albums Early in their career as both a live band and a recording unit, Creedence was fond of covering material they loved. They rarely had hits this way, but they often managed to absorb even well known hits into the swampy Creedence universe. This new collection pulls together twelve covers that have been cherry-picked from Creedence’s studio albums. The only hits in the lot are single edits of Dale Hawkins’ “Suzie Q,” and the post-breakup release of Cosmos’ Factory ’s “I Heard it Through the Grapevine.” Both singles [...]
MUSIC NEWS - Bob Bogle , one of the co-founders of the best selling rock instrumental band in music history, the Ventures, died on Sunday, at the age of 75, after long battle with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma . He and Don Wilson met while trying to buy a used car from a dealership owned by his father in 1958. Bob hadn’t played live with the band in four years, he remained active in recording and producing. Bogle lived long enough to see The Ventures inducted into the Rock and [...]

If you live in London or are ever in London, I strongly suggest you visit The Kings Head pub in Kilburn. Recently reopening doors they were supplied a jukebox by Rough Trade records which means there are some incredible hidden gems within the ancient machine. Not all the tracks are from Rough Trade records however which means there are some golden oldies waiting to be played. One of them is the cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Creedence. Amazing cover. Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Heard It [...]
Ana, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Erika, Fred, Grace, Henri, Ida, Joaquin, Kate, Larry, Mindy, Nicholas, Odette, Peter, Rose, Sam, Teresa, Victor & Wanda. Those are this year’s list of hurricane names. There are six lists that rotate and they do not change unless there is a hurricane that is so devastating that the name is retired , then another name replaces it. Today is the official beginning of the 2009 Hurricane Season. Unless you live on the East or Gulf Coast, Hurricane Season probably doesn’t mean shit to you until we're knee deep in shit and CNN is [...]
Here's some party tunes to send you into the weekend on the right foot. I'm thinking about doing this kind of thing every Friday from now on, saving this spot for any good dance-disco-DJ type stuff I come across. These first five are all from the NYC production duo Streetlab . Streetlab remix rock, dance, and electronic music as well as anyone I've heard recently. They have added their touch to everything from Zeppelin, Creedence and the Stones, to Crystal Castles, Chemical Brothers and Hot Chip. Best of all you can download most of their stuff [...]
I have done this once before , but I figured it was a good time to bring it back. Why seven things? Because seven ate nine! List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions along with your 7 songs… 1. Creedence Clearwater Revival , "Looking Out [...]
I'm off to Killarney tomorrow in advance of a flight to Germany from Kerry Airport the following morning. It's my second time flying from Kerry, although it's a bit of an exaggeration to call it an airport; I've seen taxi ranks that are bigger! It's the only airport I know that's beside the road and where there's more danger of stepping on cow shit than there is of terrorism. On Wednesday, I'll be flying into Frankfurt Hahn where I'll be collected by my friend Pia who has promised to take me on a tour of the beer gardens where I'll [...]
"Late last night, I went for a walk, Down by the river near my home Couldn´t believe, with my own eyes, And I swear I´ll never leave my home again..." With its typical staccato rhythm and dark imagery, the early, lesser-known Creedence track Walking On The Water has always appealed to my imagination. Creepy little song. Makes you wonder who it is he actually sees, walking towards him from across the river, who has him so scared he won´t go out ever again... "I saw a man walking on the water [...]
Eleven years into their life as a band, Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s Dexateens are finally starting to get the notice they so richly deserve. Formed around the core of guitarists John Smith and Elliott McPherson, the band quickly added a third guitar and set to tearing up every rinky-dink roadside bar and honky-tonk they could weasel their way into. Local heroes The Quadrajets took the band under their wing, showing the five-some the ways of the road and helping Dexateens coalesce into a three-guitar juggernaut that left many a hometown band weeping into their [...]
So this picture has nothing to do with my post at all but I just wanted to make sure you'd all seen it. You knew it was coming: Spring This is off of one of the greatest albums ever created. If you like this check out the rest of the album: The Trials Of Van Occupanther We Gathered In Spring - Midlake This is a relaxing tune from the genius Sam Beam. We've all heard [...]
En Noviembre de 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival publicaba su cuarto álbum de estudio, "Willy And The Poor Boys" , trabajo que incluía clásicos inmortales de la banda como "Down on the Corner" , "Fortunate Son" , "The Midnight Special" o la brutal "Effigy" . Tras "Willy And The Poor Boys" la banda se embarcaría en una exitosa gira [...]
Le San Francisco Sound , expression qui existe réellement, c'est en gros les groupes que je serai allée voir si j'avais habité du coté de la baie de San Francisco entre 1965 et 1973. Vous trouverez des similitudes musicales entre certains groupes, ce qui a donné envie à certains de les regrouper sous cette bannière, en remarquant évidemment l'exception Sly and The Family Stone qui ont réussi à s'acoquiner facilement avec les hippies de San Francisco et qui sont un groupe de soul. Les Pointer Sisters, présentes dans cette playlist, se sont vite éloignés de ce "son" pour sortir [...]
It's raining today, and the weather of late here has been very dreary. It's one of those days. Come Wind, Come Rain - Vashti Bunyan Have You Seen The Rain? - Creedence Clearwater Revival It Never Rains in Southern California - Albert Hammond Rainy Day People - Gordon Lightfoot River Man - Nick Drake Hype - Buy [...]
Going into Dan Auerbach's show at First Avenue's Mainroom on Saturday night, I had a few mild reservations. One was about whether on not fans of the Black Keys would show up in the same numbers that they have for his last three or four sold out shows in Minneapolis, and another was regarding how his stellar guitar sound could potentially be overwhelmed by having five other musicians up on stage with him instead of just Patrick Carney behind him on the kit. It turns out that those concerns weren't really warranted, for the Mainroom was as full as its [...]
"What kind of music do you listen to?" That question came early on in the day, the day I worked with Glen. And from that point on, music was all we talked about. Glen is 41. Has a wife and a 3-year-old kid. Owns 1,500 CDs. Has seen the Ramones three times. Slayer twice. Alice In Chains is his favorite Seattle band. And he claims emphatically that 1970 was the greatest year for music. Glen and I stock ice cream. It's the first job I was able to get since [...]
Written By Phillip Mottaz Dedicated to those songs that I can't stop playing, humming, or thinking about; the 4+ minutes you fall head-over-heels in love with. Past instances have included The Cure's "Untitled," Radiohead's "Optimistic," and M.I.A's "Paper Planes." Creedence Clearwater Revival is the most underrated band of the 60s. Not held to the holy heights of the Beatles , not any kind of legends in decadence like the Stones [...]
I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I've been sick since early January with what the doctor thinks is labryinthitis. Basically, I feel dizzy and nauseous a lot and looking at a computer screen for an extended period of time makes me feel terrible motion sickness. Needless to say, I need to spend most [...]
