Mal’s Roktober Music Memory – The Album Tracks – The Grapevine Song

Hi team. Hope you are having a belter Roktober so far.

Tbh I thought this pick a track from an album thing would be easy-peesy. Not so. There are just so many great tracks on so many great alums by so many great artists.

This weeks track I hope you’ll agree is indeed a rock classic from a classic album and dare I say it but a look back at a different era in music. A time when two guitars, bass and drums did the trick.

That formula worked a treat for Creedence Clearwater Revival.

So I’ve picked this all time beauty from CCR’s Cosmos Factory LP. The album that portrayed the band at the peak of their powers. It all went down hill for CCR after this but the music stands the test of time.

Put yer head phones on, turn ’em up and enjoy 11 minutes of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Does anyone still do 11 minute songs?

As it’s Labour weekend coming up call in and talk to Hayden and Toni at Little Fire Music Works this week. They’ll get you sorted with guitars, bass and drums
