Chronicle, Vol. 1 contains every one of Creedence Clearwater Revival's original 19 hit singles — including "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Travelin' Band," "Up Around the Band," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" — plus "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," which became a hit at the same time this double-record compilation was released. It's a lean, concise collection that tells you everything you need to know about Creedence. Several of the band's individual albums are essential, but Chronicle is not only an excellent introduction to the group, it offers definitive proof that the group was one of the definitive singles' bands of the late '60s. Rarely has a greatest- hits collection been so well-assembled. The compact disc edition is hampered by the inclusion of the full-length, 11-minute album version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"; its presence slows down the momentum of the collection considerably.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide



Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential.

Wer nur "das Beste" von Creedence Clearwater Revival will, im exklusiven Sinne von "Greatest Hits", der ist mit Chronicles Vol. 2 denkbar schlecht bedient: Ein Edit von "Suzie Q" plus "Born On The Bayou" und darüber hinaus: Fehlanzeige. Chronicles Vol. 1 ist da eindeutig erste Wahl. Wer aber das kalifornische Quartett mit dem sumpfigen, kantigen Delta-Rocksound und John Fogertys unverkennbaren, rauhbauzigen Vocals wirklich kennenlernen will, ohne alle Einzelalben wie Cosmo's Factory, Green River oder Willie And The Poor Boys anzuschaffen, der kommt an diesem fundierten Album-Sampler nicht vorbei. Die Brüder John Fogerty (Gesang, Gitarre) und Tom Fogerty (Rhythmusgitarre, Piano), Bassist Stu Cook und Drummer Doug Clifford beherrschten die Kunst perfekt, Charts-Futter im knackigen Radio-Format zu liefern. Doch erst auf den Alben offenbarten die Swamp Boogie-Heroen umfassend all ihre Qualitäten, ob sie nun Ricky Nel-sons "Hello Mary Lou" coverten oder eigene Songs traditionsbewußt und dennoch ureigen vom Stapel ließen. "Tombstone Shadow", "Wrote A Song For Everyone" oder "Midnight Special" zählen zweifelsohne zu den stärksten Nummern von CCR. So gibt Chronicle Vol. 2 ohne all die Hits von Volume 1 zwar ein unvollständiges, aber dennoch faszinierendes Bild dieser uramerikanischen Band und liefert dank klug selektiertem Repertoirel die perfekte Ergänzung zur reinen Hit-Kollektion.
