Hi becca, The bio I have on order is Up Around the Bend. Exactly, you are a "listener" , I mostly don't like backgroundmusic.(no depth) It use to be called elevator music, maybe still is, usually just more noise.

I heard about the "commotion" with the Centerfield album, I believe Fogerty won.
The reason I heard was that the songs sound were "too" CCR, I agree, after all, who "was" the sound of CCR.
Maybe John "looked" too much like John too. Most of the album has a very similar sound to CCR but more sinthesized and a little bright sounding, (to me) But I think it is a good album.
amazon.com has samples of most albums and songs I have wanted to test run. BT
