This is a greatest hits package that moves me both ways.One the one hand,it is a comprehensive overview of Creedence Clearwater Revival's recording legacy.Besides the hits,they have added some excellent album tracks{COMMOTION,IT CAME OUT OF THE SKY,RAMBLE TAMBLE,the long version of I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE,BORN TO MOVE). However,the compilers have left out several hits (SWEET HITCH HIKER,SUZIE Q PART1[beats me why they include part2 of this track,but not part 1],RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE,SOMEDAY NEVER COMES).Also, they include filler tracks(SAILOR'S LAMENT,FEELIN' BLUE ,NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME,LOOKING FOR A REASON ).It is not a bad compilation.but I advise you to buy Chronicle 1&2,and then this.

"Keep on Chooglin" is a good buy for anyone wanting a comprehensive overview of CCR's body of work. All the great songs are here and even more obscure selections such as the instrumental B-side "Suzie Q (part 2)" and the title track. Included also is the whopping, and frankly overlong, eleven minute version of "Heard it through the grapevine". However there are some noticable exclusions from the collection, most significantly "Suzie Q" and "Run through the Jungle", which are some of CCR's greatest hits. Nevertheless this is a good buy if you're looking for a set of their best songs or even some less known album tracks.
