CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL RELEASES 'SINGLES COLLECTION'

11/4/2009

Out now is Creedence Clearwater Revival's Singles Collection. The set, which is the first to feature all the A and B-sides of the band's career, also comes with a DVD featuring CCR's rarely seen promotional clips for "Sweet Hitch-Hiker," "I Heard It Through The Grapevine," "Bootleg," "I Put A Spell On You," and "Lookin' Out My Back Door."

Bassist Stu Cook says that the acoustic-based "Looking' Out My Back Door" remains among his favorite of the group's classic 45's: "We just rehearsed it a few times, rehearsed it and cut it. Usually we cut the singles as they were written, so it was just one of many. I think there's electric rhythm guitars in there, but off course acoustics and the dobro are really the featured instruments."

John Fogerty was asked which of his classic CCR hits he couldn't get away with not playing every night: "Probably either 'Bad Moon (Rising)' or 'Proud Mary.' If I was to skip both of 'em -- that would probably be trouble. (Laughs) And 'Fortunate Son's' probably right up there in that group."

Highlights on CCR's Singles Collection are: "Suzie Q, Pts. 1 and 2," "Proud Mary," "Born On The Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising," "Lodi," "Green River," "Commotion," "Fortunate Son," "Down On The Corner," "Traveling' Band," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Up Around The Bend," "Lookin' Out My Back Door," "Someday Never Comes," and "Hey Tonight," among others.
