Creedence Country is a compilation album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). It was released by Fantasy Records in October 1981 (see 1981 in music) with the purpose of infiltrating the country market.
There was one single released from Creedence Country, "Cotton Fields" b/w "Lodi", in November. The single charted in Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart, while the album did not chart.
The album has been re-released in multiple formats, including a 2004 remastered CD with three bonus tracks.
According to an article in Billboard magazine, the idea for Creedence Country came from Bob Saporiti after listing to CCR's albums and hearing a prominent country influence in the group's songs. In the article, Saporiti said that the (former) members of the band compiled the songs for the album; although, he did not specify which members were involved.
Of the 12 songs on the original album, none were from the group's self-titled debut album or Bayou Country, three were from Green River, two were from Willy and the Poor Boys, five were from Cosmo's Factory, and two were from Mardi Gras. Of the three reissue bonus tracks two were from Mardi Gras and one was from Pendulum.
