I've loved Creedence Clearwater Revival from a very young age... absolutely LOVE John Fogerty's distinctive voice.. and their songs bring back wonderful memories! Another fave of my from my school years, was Australian Band Cold Chisel. Jimmy Barnes was the front man and they had a similar style to CCR... but were contemporary at the time and I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to see them.. gosh at least 3 times in concert! (Unlike CCR). Such a fantastic band live! Cold Chisel split up for a few years in the mid 80's and Barnes had a successful Solo Career, but they are back together again and back touring too. So if you know and Love Creedence and are not familiar with Cold Chisel then I hope you'll take the time to check them out! %-)
One of my ALL TIME favourite songs by Creedance is As Long As I CAn See The Light Cold Chisel also did a Scorching version of this song too! %-)
Here is a selection of some of my favourite CCR songs...
I Heard It Through The Grapevine
And here's a selection from jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel...
Simply The Best (Duet with Tina Turner)
