View More By Creedence Clearwater Revival Our ReviewCreedence Clearwater Revival hit their true stride with their third album, 1969’s Green River. Leaving behind the extended jams of their previous studio albums, the band leaned on singer John Fogerty’s emerging songwriting genius. He’d broken through with Bayou Country’s “Proud Mary” and was now encouraged to apply his clear, concise formula to hook-filled three-minute charmers that resulted in the ominous chug of “Bad Moon Rising,” the sad-sack tale of a going-nowhere bar band in “Lodi,” the smoky rockabilly tint of “Green River,” and the emotionally naked “Wrote a Song For Everyone.” The band’s playing, tight and unpretentious, became noted as “swamp rock” for its southern R&B and blues roots, as well as the pulsing guitar lines that suggested an oppressive heat and humidity. The band was clearly moving in a direction that took all their influences — blues, R&B, soul, country and pop — into a sound all their own. The 40th Anniversary Edition includes an instrumental track, “Broken Spoke Shuffle,” an unfinished tune called “Glory Be” and three live cuts (“Bad Moon Rising,” “Lodi” and “Green River / Suzie Q”) that not surprisingly prove the band could also deliver on stage.. Customer ReviewsThe Great American Band’s first completely original effort (5 stars)With Concord Music Group having purchased the Fantasy catalog, the fortieth anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s debut LP provides a suitable opportunity for a fresh round of reissues. All six of the original foursome’s albums (from 1968’s Creedence Clearwater Revival through 1970’s Pendulum) have been struck from new digital masters and augmented by previously unreleased tracks. Those who purchased the 2001 box set can pick Steal of the Century (5 stars) I cannot believe that such a great album is sold at such a bargain price. Every fan of great rock 'n roll needs to purchase this immediately. One great song after another. I have a hard time choosing my favorite CCR album. Whatever I listened to last becomes my favorite. Skip buying Chronicles and buy Cosmos Factory, Green River, and Willy and the Poorboys instead. One of my favorite albums. Ever. (5 stars) I found this record in my closet and put it in the record player. Amazing. One of my favorite overall compilations and most likely my favorite record. CCR was the perfect example of a truly great American band that set itself aside from the common British music of their time. BiographyFormed: 1967 in El Cerrito, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s At a time when rock was evolving further and further away from the forces that had made the music possible in the first place, Creedence Clearwater Revival brought things back to their roots with their concise synthesis of rockabilly, swamp pop, R&B, and country. Though CCR was very much a group in their tight, punchy arrangements, their vision was very much singer, songwriter, guitarist, and leader John Fogerty's. Fogerty's classic compositions for Creedence both evoked enduring images of Americana...
