Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mardi Gras
This record is pretty inconsistent. The songs are very much solo efforts, and don't seem to be off the same album. Each member not only writes songs, they produced and sung them also. John Fogerty's songs are the most 'classic' Creedence, Lookin For a Reason, Sweet Hitchhiker and the beautiful Someday Never Comes. Stu cook's songs are more raucous, but not without charm. The abrasive singing on Sail Away seems strange, but this is one of the best tracks on the album. Doug Clifford's songs are different again, and are pleasant but less of a standout.
This album has a lot to recommend it to Creedence fans, but it wouldn't give a new listener a true taste of Creedence.
