While John Fogerty was at the helm CCR sold record after record. They were at the top. That wasn't good enough for brother Tom who quits the band. Other members Doug Clifford and Stu Cook were busy yelling I can sing I can write songs. John gave in and said do it and more or less walked away from what he knew would be a disaster. And it was. Others that follow a genius might find they are better off in doing so. I gave this a big thumbs down when it first came out and still do.
December 17, 2007This is the last studio album recorded by CCR and was recorded as a three
piece since the departure of Tom Fogerty. Although his presence is not missed by the band you can really tell that they were running on fumes by then. I only purchased this cd to complete my Creedence collection.
November 5, 2007I just picked up the 6 cd Creedence boxed set, which includes all the music from Mardi Gras. From various reviews, I expected this album to be an atrocity aside from the the hits that got lots of air play. I was pleasantly surprised however. It's really not that bad. It's not the strongest CCR recording by any means. Doug Clifford's vocals are pleasant enough. Stu Cook's vocals may be ragged, but I've heard far worse on recordings by other big name bands. The album probably appears weaker than it really is because of comparisons to the rest of the CCR catalog.
September 22, 2007...this album just blows. Not enough John, too much of Doug & Stu. Neither one of them can sing. I thought the Grateful Dead's 'Pigpen' was bad...
August 23, 2007Great value. If you are into the 60s' and 70s' you will love this one.
