Review

Alright, rock 'n' roll enthusiasts, let's dive into Creedence Clearwater Revival's swan song, 'Mardi Gras'! This 1972 release was like a firework finale for the band, exploding with tension and creativity. After Tom Fogerty's exit, the remaining trio - John Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford - decided to shake things up. Each member took the reins on their own tracks, writing, producing, and belting out lead vocals. It was a bold move that sent shockwaves through their fanbase and the music world.

Now, 'Mardi Gras' might not have set critics' hearts on fire, but it still packed a punch on the charts, hitting number 12 and going gold. John Fogerty's contributions, including the electrifying 'Sweet Hitch-Hiker' and the soulful 'Someday Never Comes', kept the CCR flame burning bright. But the real wildcard was hearing Cook and Clifford step up to the mic, bringing their own flavors to the mix. Sure, it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but it was a raw, unfiltered look at a band pushing boundaries and facing their demons head-on. 'Mardi Gras' might be a controversial finale, but it's a testament to CCR's willingness to roll the dice and go out on their own terms. - Jett
