About

John Fogerty & Co. were on a tear in 1969, releasing three albums and touring constantly. By early 1970, the first singles from <i>Cosmo’s Factory</i> began leaping up the charts. The album is so packed with classics—from the inspired covers of Roy Orbison’s “Ooby Dooby” and Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” to originals "Travelin' Band," "Lookin' Out My Back Door," and "Who'll Stop the Rain"—that you'd be forgiven mistaking this multi-platinum studio album for a greatest-hits compilation.
