On his first album in 11 years, CCR mastermind Fogerty comes charging out of the gate with undiminished authority. BLUE MOON SWAMP is full of the straight-ahead roots-rock that made Creedence a legend. It's rumored that the recording of this album was painstakingly slow, with Fogerty spending months to get the right drum and guitar sound for each track. It's the mark of a true craftsman that for all it's intensive production and the large cast of guests, BLUE MOON SWAMP still sounds like Fogerty just ambled into the studio with a few pals and laid it all down.
While there are a few stylistic diversions, like the Tex-Mex-flavored "Bring It Down To Jelly Roll," the bulk of the material is virtually identical in approach and tone to that of Fogerty's glory days. The amazing thing is that he never sounds tired or stale. If anything, he sounds more self-assured and powerful than on his previous solo outings. When Fogerty trots out the tremolo-guitar intro to "A Hundred And Ten In The Shade," you can feel the pure, blues-inflected rock and roll inspiration that lies at the heart of his finest work.

Editorial Reviews
Included in Rolling Stone's Essential Recordings of the 90's.
Rolling Stone (05/13/1999)

...you'll have a hard time finding a more charming roots-rock record this year. Fogerty took driving trips through the Delta as prep work, and the album's relaxed amalgam of blues, country and hard rock has the ease that comes with studied absorption of the terrain, not just genre literacy... - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (05/30/1997)

Ranked #34 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
Village Voice (02/24/1998)

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...a remarkably vibrant batch of songs....His guitar work is clean and neat, but carefully understated and never intrusive....his voice is the star of this 12-song set. He has developed a supple, blue tenor sound...
Rolling Stone (06/12/1997)
