Revival

Simple, clean, uncluttered, concise and catchy, all the things his peers: the verbose, self important and over produced Eagles or muddy, trying too hard Springsteen never could be. On `Broken Down Cowboy' JCF hits home harder and truer emotionally than he has ever done - with the possible exception of `Someday Never Comes'. Along with the infectious title track, cool `Gunslinger' and a few short sharp sweet rockers `Broken Down Cowboy' finds the West Coast rocker at his best, the gospel inflected `River is Waiting' is reminiscent in spirit to the terrific `Sail Away' (from the otherwise undistinguished `Zombie' album). Perhaps the material overall on `Revival' is not as good as that great benchmark `Blue Moon Swamp' - nevertheless this stripped down hog is a satisfying return to form. Fogerty is still ahead of everyone else!

Simply superb from country to blues to rock seemless from probably the greatest living American fogerty for president every track from the opener don't you wish it was true to the heavy rock of longshot is brilliantly crafted the superb gunslinger the cry from all us decent folk God bless you John ! Scathing of American foreign policies and right on the money with the punk rocker yes ! Can't take it no more ! I can when it's John Fogerty at the helm ! Brilliant album .

It has been a long time coming but the end result is a quality product. My girlfriend and I listened to it for the first time on a long drive across Germany and Belgium and we liked it so much that we let it repeat several times. The melodies are good, the musicianship is first class and some of the political comment is very apt. he even nods in the direction of CCR a couple of times. Great stuff!

Love John Fogerty terrific C /D played it time after time.

As good as any CCR album.

John Fogerty cant do anything wrong as far as I m concerned. Brilliant voice, excellent songs, fantastic musician....mix it all together and you get great ballads and brilliant rock songs by one of the all time greats.

John Fogerty,still as good as he was in the good old days of Creedence Clearwater Revival,pity they broke up & pity we don"t hear more from John.Roll on his new album "Wrote a song for everyone",I want it !!!

this is one of those albums-a one off-many styles done superbly by a superstar.one of my favourite cds of all time-a big statement but true.
