Next month Ripple Music will release “Burn on the Bayou: A Heavy Underground Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival” tribute album. This massive 32-track compilation presents reimagined Creedence Clearwater Revival songs by bands from Ripple Music’s past and present roster such as War Cloud, Kind, Great Electric Quest, High Priestess, Thunder Horse, Void Vator, Stonebirds, JPT Scare Band, Cities of Mars, special guest Kyle Shutt of The Sword and more.
About the compilation, Ripple Music label founder Todd Severin says: “I chose Creedence Clearwater Revival for our first compilation because I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to do Sabbath, Lizzy or such because bands have such reverence for them that they would turn in their best take on Sabbath or Lizzy. I wanted a band with amazing songs, that the bands could make their own, and boy did they. Plus Creedence Clearwater Revival is rooted in the sludge of the swamp, an aesthetic that plays well to stoner/doom bands. And to really bring out the swamp in the songs, the whole project was mastered by Kent Stump of the legendary swamp rockers Wo Fat.”
