Album #150: Cosmo's Factory

By Creedence Clearwater Revival (1970).

Creedence Clearwater Revival to me are the band that films or games use when they want you to think 'Vietnam War'. I've just left them in that box as far back as I can remember. So I put today's record on expecting very little, and was surprised to have a blast.

I think it was track 1, Ramble Tamble, that softened me up - the long instrumental section in the 7 minute song wasn't at all what I expected. On some albums, big singles like Up and Around the Bend really stand out as obvious hits, but on this it felt like just another song - one I knew already, but in no way overshadowing the rest.

I can see myself using this as a jumping off point for listening to some more CCR.
