CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL > Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bayou Country, Green River, Willy and the Poor Boys, Cosmo’s Factory & Pendelum(0)
October 27, 2008
They didn’t invent rock and roll, but no American band ever understood its essence and mastered its idioms and influences better than Creedence Clearwater Revival.
THE DEARS > Missiles
Though people will still make love to his music, they may try the dauntless daggers of Missiles for a similar and altogether other deeply bluer effect.
LAMBCHOP > OH (Ohio)
Lambchop’s ever-curious recording aesthetic probably loses it more potential fans than it gains.
BLITZEN TRAPPER > Furr
Much the same genre puddle-jumper that put Portland, Ore., sextet Blitzen Trapper on the map with the self-produced Wild Mountain Nation last year, their majors debut Furr is every bit a worthy follow-up.
