Creedence Clearwater Revival - John Foggarty

I just picked up his new disc in which various artists all collaborate in re-doing some of CCR's old favorites. Great disc and most of all great music. I had a few of their albums back - '' in the day'' and stupidly traded them or gave them away. I would like to re-start up CCR's collection on disc as I do see where many of them have been remastered.....let me know your thoughts on which one to start with.

Chronicle and Chronicle Volume 2 pretty much do the trick--40 songs that cover it well. But die-hard fans will want the original albums, I guess. I'm good with the 40 selected tracks--those two CD's do not leave me wanting.

The "live at Royal Albert Hall" is a nice change of pace from the recorded versions that you've heard a million times.

I have the live CD he did (Premonition) related (I think) to the "Behind the Music" show he was on. I like it quite a bit, but always have preferred his singing voice on the CCR Records.

There is a pretty long list of old pop/rock stars attempting to be relevant today using Country music as their medium. Rumor has it Kenny Loggins is next.

I'm not sure what you're point is, but Fogerty was playing country and bluegrass 40 years ago. Check out The Blue Ridge Rangers LP. It's good.

I agree and if ; ''old pop/rock '' stars want to use Country as their medium of getting good music to us, then that is just fine by me. You can call me old as well. Because if what's out their now - rap, urban beat, American Idol ....The Voice, MTV etc.....it considered good music - you can have it
