Album Reviews # 43 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Hits Album # 20 Suzie Q


So, to the last song on the record, after almost three weeks. With a drumbeat and a sound that follows behind it that seem to come out of nowhere. This was the idea of the Creedence sound that John Fogerty, with time and thought distilled into a formula and hit paydirt with. A beautiful take on the Dale Hawkins,Fifties song but at the same time, a better version. The idea that this song actually bubbled out of Southern mud was already in Fogerty's head and he moved forward with that, towards remarkable and deserved success. A proper consideration of the record and Creedence as a whole will come shortly.
