Well worth owning. Kings of Leon must have been inspired by this talented bunch of musicians. Period. great band, wonderful collection of songs. Lead singer has a brilliant voice and they just rock.
First rate job. If you remember the lp's and the 45's and how they sounded, right up until the first scratch, you will get an inkling of the quality and the power this group was capable of. I like the sharpness that digital can do with the medium.
I enjoy every minute of it, sincerely. I got what I wanted and I'm thrilled with it. It made my day.
That was a mistake.This collection clearly appeals to committed fans, as is true for nearly all reviews I see on Amazon. The rest of this 2 CD set is forgettable.
Sorry if this review offends your sensibilities but it's not a vote on whether CCR was a great band: it was, and John Fogerty's put out some good stuff since. Feel free to mark this review as "not useful" -- I do it often myself when reviews are not informative.
I scanned all the reviews here on Amazon before buying Chronicle Vol 2. "Walk on Water" has passion, a wide vocal range and nice changes of pace.
For the casual fan, get the original Chronicle (Vol 1) and enjoy. I'd been inspired by hearing "Walk on Water" many times on Amazon and decided to buy the collection instead of CCR's eponymous first album.
I found it mediocre, at best.
It had a lot of cover songs that I don't think they did particularly well. I actually bought this album for the song "Midnight Special" with the hope that the other songs would be as good or better. Chronicle was a let down for me. I guess Chronicle 1 had almost all of the best Credence songs.
