Cosmo’s Factory

Released

Creedence Clearwater Revival’s fifth album was their commercial peak, which is weird because it’s also the most scattered and atypical of their classic releases. The band known for taut, melodic rock ’n’ roll songs kicked things off with the seven-minute, mostly instrumental boogie “Ramble Tamble” and wound down with an ominous, 11-minute “I Heard It Through The Grapevine.” In between come the searing nightmare visions of “Run Through The Jungle,” the fatalism of “Who’ll Stop The Rain,” and, for some reason, a twitchy, stomping cover of Roy Orbison’s early rockabilly hit “Ooby Dooby.”
