Info zu Cosmo's Factory

Cosmo’s Factory was the fourth and biggest of the string of five Top 10 albums Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1969 and 1970. Included were “Travelin’ Band,” “Lookin’ Out My Back Door,” “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” “Run Through the Jungle” and covers from Marvin Gaye (CCR’s signature take on “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”), Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison and Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup. Bonus material includes a bare bones, horns-free remake of “Travelin’ Band,” a live version of “Up Around the Bend” from the 1971 European tour, plus an unreleased version of “Born on the Bayou” emanating from the CCR/Booker T & the MGs summit which took place in 1970 at Cosmo’s Factory studio.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's continued their reputation as a consummate 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.

Though „Cosmo‘s Factory“ has its share of covers, including a version of the Sun Records oldie 'Oobie Doobie' and an extended jam on the Marvin Gaye classic 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine,' it still overflows with great originals. 'Ramble Tamble' and 'Run Through the Jungle' are edgy rockers build around killer 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. Creedence's ability to fuse traditional pop elements with downhome simplicity, rock edge, and superb songcraft is in full effect on „Cosmo‘s Factory“, placing it alongside „Green River“ and „Willie And The Poor Boys“ as one of their best albums.

'...one great rock and roll band...another damn good album by a group which is going to be around for a long time...' (Rolling Stone)

'It's their spare recorded sound which really thrills....The grooves fierce but sloppy, the singing raw and beseeching, the guitars mordant.' (MOJO)
