"Graveyard Train" is a standout, want to hear a drone doom cover. A lot of jam session moments throughout.

Blues and Rock'n'Roll influenced rock album. I like the songwriting as well as the way the songs are played and sung. Lead guitar is played excellently. Production could be better, e.g. it seems that Penthouse Pauper is too loud compared with Good Golly Miss Molly. Might just be because of limitations back when it was produced—it's older than me… The only song I really knew in advance was Proud Mary. Like it. Least favorite song on the album: Graveyard Train. It's way too long as far as I'm concerned. That might be justified by the lyrics, but I perceived it as musically annoying. Harp and guitar solos in Keep On Chooglin' are too extensive, too.
Pretty solid blues rock from the late '60s. It's understandable how it became a classic, it's well-written and the melodies easily get stuck in your head. I love the guitar parts, full of licks (the blues influence is strong there), and how their create a discussion with the lead singer.
Recognised more songs than I thought I would
Glorious swampy blues rock!
Kannte erstaunlicherweise nur ein Lied (Proud Mary), war daher sehr gespannt auf den Rest des Albums. Gefällt mir sehr gut, wobei ich die Coverversion von "Good Golly Miss Molly" nur so mittel finde, da habe ich einfach zu sehr Little Richard im Sinn. Beste Songs (neben Proud Mary): "Born on the Bayou" und "Keep on Chooglin".
Ok, some classic songs. Fogerty sings like a god.
This is clearly the leading edge of the great albums to follow. The peak. It is singular in that Creedence perfected a raw, rustic, regional (of which they were not members) sound that remains unparalleled. All the songs stand out, but I'm particularly fond of 'Bootleg' and 'Keep on Chooglin''.
I like the "dusty" vibe! I knew CCR only by "Proud Mary" song, but the album was a welcomed surprise.
Best known songs: Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising I cannot think about a classic rock world without both. The rest songs are even very good.
A great classic blues rock album to rediscover on a sunday morning.
I appreciated the wholehearted attempt to make chooglin’ a thing.
Great background music while vacuuming. Zero non-fillers and a 2:40 cover on a 34 minute album. You may start to suspect this is definitely not my kind of music and you'd be absolutely right, but that only proves my low musical event horizon
I’m usually not so much into music before the 80s. There are some exceptions. CCR is alright. I’ve probably heard a number of the songs on this album before but apart from Proud Mary nothing that stuck with me. Or maybe, it’s that I remember the Tina Turner version. What is this? Swamp Rock… Blusey Rock. Rock from the Bayou with Blues. I liked Proud Mary the most and Keep On Chooglin’ the least. That last one was too repetitive droney, getting on my nerves sounding. Maybe it works with drugs.
Not much other to say than classic. I guess for a reason.
Great album! I recognized one song. I knew about this band from my dad, but never really listen to it much. This is a great album and I’ll add it to my digital collection. Definitely gonna listen to it again. Cool mood and sound.
My favorite songs on the album are: Graveyard Train with it's slow and hypnotizing groove, although it's a bit too long. Then right after the up tempo bluesy rock'n'roll of Good Golly Miss Molly - great song. Of course Proud Mary all time classic song .... maybe the main reason why this album is on the 1001 list.
I enjoyed it. My dad loved CCR so it was very nostalgic
I’ve never really listened to CCR - they fall in that gap between what my parents listened to and what I listened to. This was … pretty good!
