Summary: Way before Centerf ield...
Comment: I first discovered this album in the early 1980's when I discovered a solo recording of a member of my favorite rock group from the sixties-CCR; What makes this album so appealing is it truly showcases John Fogerty's talent. He plays and records all the instruments himself, including layering his vocals for backup chorus. Definitely his mood at this period was true bluegrass/country/rock. I have not purchased this in CD form yet, but the album sound quality is perfection. I recommend this to any CCR fan and especially those who enjoy listening to good ol' bluegrass country rock ballads sung with the true spirit and soul of Mr. John Fogerty.

Summary: swamp rock lives on
Comment: John Fogerty's first project after leaving Creedence is worth a listen. He revisits "old country" and gospel songs and puts the familiar swamp rock sound to them that made Creedence so popular. "Heart of Stone and "Jambalaya" are worth the purchase alone.

Summary: Classic Fogerty
Comment: The Blue Ridge Rangers was released in 1973, just after the breakup of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Rumor has it that CCR's heart and soul, John Fogerty, was still under contract to Fantasy records with some very unfavorable terms. While waiting for the contract to expire, he released a Country/Gospel album under the pseudonym The Blue Ridge Rangers in an attempt to stay under the radar screen. Although billed as a band, this is actually a solo album, with Fogerty singing all the parts and playing all the instruments.
This album has held up well despite its age. There are no Fogerty originals here, just classic country and gospel -- some traditional, and some from classic country writers such as Hank Williams, Mel Tillis, and Merle Haggard. If the idea of Fogerty -- or Creedence -- gone Country appeals to you, this is well worth a try.
This album is a staple in my Road Trip collection, and has been for several years. I just replaced a worn-out cassette copy of a worn-out vinyl album with the CD, and it sounds good, even without the ticks and pops!
