Cosmo's Factory
Creedence Clearwater RevivalThey released Cosmo's Factory in 1970. It's got all the overplayed classics -- lookin out my backdoor, run through the jungle, up around the bend. It's less played tracks are, in my opinion quite a bit better (Ooby Dooby & Travelin' Band to a lesser extent). I particularly enjoy their cover of Marvin Gaye's I Heard it Through The Grapevine. This may be because I'm a big Marvin Gaye fan. The song clocks in at a playtime of just over 11 minutes. This works out to being almost 3 minutes longer than the 3 most popular songs on the album combined. I'm not quite sure of the point I'm trying to make. I still sorta don't like CCR and I still really like Marvin Gaye. I guess in closing, having given the album a listen this afternoon, I would say the album is better than the 3 songs that I had originally judged it on.
