Cosmo's Factory

by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Representing Creedence Clearwater Revival's commercial zenith, 'Cosmo's Factory' is a tour de force of John Fogerty's disciplined songwriting and the band's tight, road-tested chemistry. The album balances a string of hit singles—ranging from the buoyant rock of "Up Around the Bend" to the politically charged "Who'll Stop the Rain"—with expansive jams like the seven-minute psychedelic-rockabilly opener "Ramble Tamble" and an 11-minute cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". Fogerty's production and versatile arrangements draw from a deep well of American music, including R&B, country, and soul, cementing the band's definitive swamp rock sound.
