Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
1973 - With the stronger material, they are excellent.
-
All Music
All the songs add up to a superb statement of purpose, a record that captures Creedence Clearwater Revival's muscular, spare, deceptively simple sound as an evocative portrait of America.
-
The Rising Storm
This album finds the band stretching out on what is to all purposes a live stage set performed in the studio: raw and honest, high energy, no discernable overdubs
-
Mark's Record Reviews
What a tone. What a style. What a voice. Damn
-
Best Shot Whiskey Reviews
This is The place to start your Creedence collection.

John McFerrin Music Reviews
I really like this album overall, because the jams are decent at least for a little

Elsewhere
2008 - Bayou Country bristles with musical ideas drawn from that Southern well, but also harks back to a rock’n’roll past which was rapidly receding and being written over by other bands in 69‘.
-
Aphoristic Album Reviews
While it’s similar sounding, John Fogerty’s songwriting is more confident, and songs like ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘Born On The Bayou’ are Creedence’s first great originals
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
Creedence came into their own on the band’s second album, with mantle-deep bass grooves, guitars that wafted in like swamp gas and a lead singer whose throaty yowl buzzed right through the heavy air.

Hack Skeptic
2012 - There is a tendency to over extended jams (“Graveyard Train” and “Keep On Chooglin’”), but these are minor flaws in an otherwise distinctly original recording.
