THE REVIEW

Let's begin by clearing up any doubts: this is a classic among classics. In this album, released in the distant and exceptional (musically) 1970, you can find everything, namely, incredible guitar riffs, a sound with a sweet aftertaste, and songs that are like shining stars in the sky of rock.

I'll mention some at random. "Who'll Stop The Rain?", a song that you can listen to a thousand times and enjoy more and more. This song is so beautiful, airy, and sweet that it "opens" the heart.
"Run Through The Jungle" you've heard in a movie while pounds of napalm set the tropical forests of Vietnam on fire. The song refers to this, soldiers running through the jungle. This too is a masterpiece of a song, angry, dirty, and mean. Obsessive riffs and John Fogerty's howl pushing the soldiers. Monumental.
And again "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye, here presented with an almost hypnotic mood. Intoxicating like a glass of Bourbon.
Here's "Lookin' Out My Back Door", a fresh stream that descends, enchanting us with a contagious chorus that doesn't leave us. To conclude, the initial "Ramble Tamble," a real jumbo jet that falls on us with all its roar and the final "Long As I Can See The Light" warm like a blanket in autumn complete an album that must be considered the foundation of American rock. John Fogerty and his mates used to wear plaid flannel shirts, had unkempt beards, but they were and will always be a bright beacon in today's dark and foggy sea of rock 'n' roll.
