5 of Our Favorite Covers From the Latino Tribute Album to Creedence Clearwater Revival

The brightest flames burn out quickest, and so it was with Creedence Clearwater Revival. The group churned out seven albums in its six-year existence (1967-1972), during which it pioneered a classic sound that will outlive the members and their children’s children. While their tunes may be distinctly American, CCR’s fanbase has always been diverse; most notably, the highest concentration of CCR’s Facebook fans reside in Mexico City. We’ll bet many of y’all first heard CCR thanks to a relative who bumped them alongside the classics en español.

So it comes as no surprise that after years of covers and greatest hits albums, we now have Quiero Creedence, the Latino tribute to CCR. Numerous Latino artists (and a gabacho for good measure) play their versions of classic CCR tracks, including our boy Juan Gabriel singing “Have You Ever Seen The Rain?” Los Enanitos Verdes also claim they’re a “Travelin’ Band,” among many other contributions.

We decided to dig into the album and share five of our favorite covers.
