Song for song, yet another one of CCR's best albums ... at this point the boys had the winning formula down and were crankin' on high octane...
Creedence Clearwater Revival's continued their reputation as a timeless singles act with the release of COSMO'S FACTORY. Three of its singles, the blazing "Travelin' Band," the driving sting of "Up Around The Bend," and the irresistibly sunny fantasia hoedown "Looking Out My Back Door" (complete with tambourines and elephants) each achieved gold status. These tunes hit the mark completely, capturing the group's accessible, hook-laden rock 'n' roll with a lightness and urgency balanced by stinging guitars, unforgettable melodies, and the expressive voice of lead singer/songwriter John Fogerty.
COSMO'S FACTORY has its specialized CCR re-worked covers, making them so special they sound like their own... That bein said, this award winning album includes a great version of the 'Sun Records' classic "Oobie Doobie" and an extended jam on the Marvin Gaye classic "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," it still overflows with great originals. Elsewhere, "Ramble Tamble" and "Run Through the Jungle" are "killer" rated edgy rockers build around fire snapping guitar riffs, both driven by an uncharacteristically dark, shadowy feel. "Long As I Can See the Light" is full of plaintive yearning, while the poignant "Who'll Stop the Rain" ranks among Fogerty's finest tunes not to mention being a HUGE hit.
Creedence's ability to fuse traditional pop elements with down home simplicity, rock edge, and superb song craft is in full effect on COSMO'S FACTORY, placing it alongside GREEN RIVER and Bayou Country as one of their best albums.
A quick run through the all-star line-up of tunes :
Ramble Tamble - is a impressive first track for what turns out to be the group’s most musically interesting and experimental album to date. It begins with a typical short and simple, yet quality song of just less than two minutes and then, when the track first feels like it should be over, the band launches into a 5 minute jam session. The cyclical nature of the guitar in this part is simply mesmerizing, after this, the band works it’s way back the chorus from the beginning, creating a feeling that the journey that the narrator needed to take might be over and he is now ready to face his problems.
Before you Accuse Me - goes back to the gritty soul/rocker side of CCR and is considerably more simplistic, yet still very groovy. It has an impressive vocal performance by Fogerty, who was one of the first white artists to be able to pull off black music convincingly and emotionally, as seen on this Bo Diddley style original.
Travelin’ Band - This is the first of many Classic Rock Radio standards on this album. Fogerty totally abandons his soulful singing style and nearly yells throughout this frantic song, which is faster and harder than most CCR songs but still expertly preserves the grooviness that every CCR song has always had.
Ooby Dooby - CCR effectively adds their unique touch to Roy Oribison’s rockabilly style and comes away with a song that is energetic and fun.
Lookin’ out my Backdoor - Has an incredible groove and utterly nonsensical lyrics, which paint incredible imagery in the mind of the listener. The song is held together by the regular call of ‘Doot Doot Doo’ by Fogerty. It has been suggested that the song is about an acid trip, although this hasn’t been substantiated.
Run through the Jungle - This is the “swampiest" song on the album, and of the best of Creedence '60s. It is heavy and gloomy in a pretty unique way. Fogerty’s vocals are usually raspy, which accentuates the creepiness. Fogerty playing a rare harmonica is present on this track also. Great stuff!
Up Around The Bend Yet another Classic Radio Standard here; this song, about a desire to escape the city and return to “Where the neon turn to wood", is just riveting CCR.
My Baby Left Me - This is a cover of an Elvis song. Like Ooby Dooby, it is up tempo and fun. CCR certainly adds their own unique style to the song, but it still remains just a fun and energetic song.
Who’ll Stop the Rain - This baleful Anti-war song features ghostliness singing, especially in the chorus, can’t help but conjure up images of the great beyond as does the stateliness of the repetitive guitar, with most of the song’s changes being supplied by the drums.
I Heard it Through The Grapevine - This is THEE definitive version of the R&B standard. Everything about this 11 minute extended jam is perfect and there’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said. It is of the best songs CCR ever recorded.
Long As I Can See The Light - This is a slow and very emotive song along with Fogerty at his raspy best. This is the most soulful Fogerty original on the album and it closes it out perfectly. By the way, yet another "smash" hit...
