Pendulum (Creedence Clearwater Revival album)

Pendulum is the sixth studio album by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records on December 9, 1970.

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.

Pendulum expands the band's sonic palette with instruments such as keyboards and saxophones, in contrast to the group's previous albums, which were dominated by the guitar.

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.
