Awhile back, I was inspired by Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski to listen to some Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Creedence is The Dude’s favorite band, and their music is featured a few times in The Big Lebowski, most memorably in this scene.
CCR has a deep enough catalog that I made the rare decision to purchase a greatest hits compilation rather than go for a signature album. I know, I know, I still feel bad about it.
But that greatest hits collection, Chronicle, is a beast. Twenty southern rock classics, each more essential than the last.
Someday I might go the purer route and explore some of the individual albums but for now I’m happy to have this batch of great songs.
Working for The Man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying ’bout the way things might have been.
CHORUS:
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
CHORUS
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don’t have to worry ’cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
CHORUS
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Meet Me In Montauk 
Sounds like an enjoyable greatest hits. Don’t feel guilty.
