Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits

Outstanding, 20-track hits collection. Though they produced several excellent albums, Creedence was predominantly a singles band, and Chronicle compiles many of their biggest hits. From the slowly building saunter of Suzie Q and the spooky, r&b-soaked I Put a Spell on You to the fierce Fortunate Son and the swampy blues of Run Through the Jungle, Chronicle features the ensemble's signature tunes. Beautifully melancholy songs Who'll Stop the Rain and Someday Never Comes play off sunny, melodic anthems Down on the Corner and Lookin' out my Back Door, fully revealing the band's wide range. The group's tight, no-frills musicianship leaves John Fogerty's keening voice and superb songwriting at the fore, and the results - brought together here on one of rock's best greatest-hits packages - make for some of the genre's most endearing and enduring music.
