CREEDENCE - BAYOU COUNTRY - CCR *180G*

Creedence Clearwater Revival Bayou Country on 180g LP

Mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray

A bona fide rock classic, 1969's Bayou Country broke Creedence Clearwater Revival wide open nationally and worldwide, containing the group's first big hits, "Proud Mary" and "Born On The Bayou." These two tracks, along with "Bootleg," "Graveyard Train" and "Keep On Chooglin'," were pure CCR featuring gritty vocals, tight leads and infectious rhythm. 

John Fogerty's lyrics evoke a Mississippi and bayou folk legend, a world of voodoo fortune tellers, hoodoos and hound dogs and, together with his raspy-voiced delivery, prompted a wide speculation that the El Cerrito, California band was of southern origin. Before the year was out, 35 artists had cut cover versions of "Proud Mary" while the Bayou Country album itself seemed unrelenting, remaining on the Billboard charts for 87 weeks and becoming CCR's first platinum LP.
