There is a movement occurring, some call it “minimalist,” I just call it good.  Whenever I listen to an old Creedence Clearwater Revival album I hear it.  John Fogerty, yes, but what I am really speaking of is that raw recorded sound minus all the digital mumbo jumbo we’ve began suckling on the last decade or so.  I don’t know what Centro-Matic’s approach was in the studio, and at risk of offending them, I really don’t care.  I just love the outcome.  Someday I’ll get around to recording my first album and perhaps I’ll go back to listen to some of their recordings and take some notes.  I’ll listen to John Fogerty too.

Checking them out in concert may not be such a bad idea either.  No, in fact, it’d be a great idea.  They’ll be playing along with Monahans.  Now listen.
