Overview
The album is the only one by Creedence Clearwater Revival to not contain any cover songs (all of the tracks were written by John Fogerty); it is the last album the band recorded while Tom Fogerty was still a member, as he left the group in early 1971 to start a solo career; and the last of the band's albums to be produced solely by John Fogerty. The only single taken from the album, "Have You Ever Seen the Rain"/"Hey Tonight", was released in January 1971, and reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The most sonically adventurous CCR album, Pendulum is noted for its widespread use of keyboards and saxophones, in contrast to the group's previous albums, which were dominated by the guitar. It also contains, in the closing instrumental "Rude Awakening #2", an uncharacteristic venture by the band into avant-garde psychedelia.
Production
The album was recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco, and took a month to complete, which was an unusually long time for the band. On previous albums, they had rehearsed songs before entering the studio, but, for Pendulum, the members learned the songs in the studio.[5] The backing tracks of the songs were performed by the whole band,[6] and the various members then recorded the wide variety of vocal and instrumental overdubs, which included keyboards played by John Fogerty and Cook, and a saxophone section played entirely by John Fogerty.[5]

Pendulum ist das sechste Album der US-amerikanischen Rockband Creedence Clearwater Revival und erschien im Dezember 1970 bei dem Plattenlabel Fantasy Records. Die LP erschien während des musikalischen Höhepunkts der Band und war deswegen bereits über eine Million Mal vor der Erscheinung bestellt. Allerdings hatte sich der Stil von Creedence Clearwater Revival sehr gewandelt, auf diesem Album waren plötzlich Instrumente wie Saxophon, Hammond-Orgel und Dobro zu hören. Dadurch wurden viele Fans enttäuscht, die den typischen Sound vermissten.- [en] Pendulum (Creedence Clearwater Revival album)
