Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Singles Collection
A handsomely packaged two CD set covering thirty tracks plus a bonus DVD with four music videos, “Singles,” presents an unflinching glimpse into the late sixties, early seventies American psyche. A dash of country panache, a measure of Memphis soul and a healthy helping of rockabilly bravado added to the trippy wisdom of hobos and hippies - CCR captured the zeitgeist of a generation haunted by war and civil unrest. Sowing the hope of an open road, juxtaposing Vietnam jungles into Southern bayous, CCR’s spooky swamp boogie voodoo provided a stark reflection and an ample escape hatch that resonates across the decades - a timeless touchstone addressing unique times through redressed roots and relentless questioning as relevant today as it was nearly forty years ago.
