2.0 out of 5 stars Not true to CCR, November 6, 2008

This review is from: Pickin' on Creedence Clearwater Revival (Audio CD)

I agree with the first reviewer in that these recordings are not true to the CCR sound and bare little resemblance to the song after the first few bars. The music, however, is excellent but the recordings just don't sound like the songs, which, I presume, is why you might buy this CD.

Some of the other "Pickin' On" recordings, e.g., the Springsteen, ZZ Top and the most excellent Rolling Stones set, are much more true to the melodies and rhythms of the originals.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pickin' On Creedence Clearwater Revival, September 1, 2000

By 

Jake FOGERTY (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pickin' on Creedence Clearwater Revival (Audio CD)

This piece of music belongs in the novelty category. It would be difficult if not impossible to try and out do John Fogerty and company. Having listen to this bluegrass version of CCR, it was at times hard for me to tell what song was being played, when comparing it to what I knew the song should sound like. Do not expect this to sound like the original tunes. I can best describe the new sound as a fresh breath of country air.

I am a sucker for anything that even smells like CCR. I will be playing this in my car while travelling to my favourite lake with a big grin on my face.
