CCR’s self-titled debut was released in the summer of ’68, its throwback rockabilly sound and Americana themes sublimely out of step with the era. Notable tracks include a swampy, hypnotic cover of Dale Hawkins’ “Suzie Q,” which was Creedence’s breakthrough hit, and their first ever single, “Porterville.” All in all the album is a promising, fascinating early offering from a group that would soon become America’s greatest rock band. #CCR50 | Creedence Clearwater Revival
