Biography

Creedence Clearwater Revival (often known as just CCR) were a Californian band who were said to play a form of southern rock called 'swamp rock'. Led by John Fogerty, they had an incredible run of hits at their peak, scoring nine Top 10 hits between 1969 and 1971.

Creedence had begun life in 1959 as The Blue Velvets and then The Golliwogs, without much success. In 1967 they changed their name, and… Read more in Amazon's Creedence Clearwater Revival Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

Remarkably, this is the third studio album Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1969! During that stunning burst, John Fogerty could do no wrong. Green River isn't as chock-full of CCR standards as the record that followed it in 1970 (Cosmo's Factory), and, at 30 minutes, it's briefer than its rather brief predecessor (Willy and the Poorboys). Still, this is economy at its best. The title track, "Lodi," and "Bad Moon Rising" are all indelibly etched into the memory banks of classic-rock fans, while "Commotion" and "Cross-Tie Walker" are perfect swamp-rock complements. "The Night Time Is the Right Time" is one more in a series of spot-on Fogerty covers. And "Wrote a Song for Everyone" manages to be both rarefied and down to earth in the same breath--which is really CCR in a nutshell. --Steven Stolder

5.0 out of 5 stars One of rock's all-time classic albums, May 8, 2004
This review is from: Green River (Audio CD)
On their third album, Creedence Clearwater Revival finally got rid of the sometimes directionless five-minute jams that weighed down their first two records.

"Green River" is probably their tightest album, and their best as well. There is virtually no filler here - the singles are magnificent, and even the album tracks are great.
It opens with the title track, a concise 2 1/2 minutes of tough, "swampy" backbeat and vivid imagery, highlighted by the pithy, intertwined guitar figures of John and Tom Fogerty, and John Fogerty's brief, melodic, less-is-more solo.

Other highlights include the classic rockabilly of "Bad Moon Rising", the melancholy "Lodi", the sinister, soulful blues "Tombstone Shadow", and the slow, mournful "Wrote A Song For Everyone".
But everything is good, really, including the brisk, semi-acoustic country-rocker "Cross-Tie Walker" and the album's only cover song, an energetic rendition of "The Night Time Is The Right Time".

The musicianship is excellent, too. Doug Clifford's stop-start drumming on "Wrote A Song" and "Sinister Purpose" is among his best and most imaginative. John Fogerty plays fiery lead guitar on "Tombstone Shadow", and he and his brother complement each other superbly on the appropriately dark blues-rocker "Sinister Purpose".

Both "Green River" and "Bad Moon Rising" made it to #2, and the album itself was a #1 record back in the autumn of 1969.
There is not a single weak moment on this magnificent fusion of rock, blues, R&B, folk and country, and "Green River" is not just Creedence Clearwater Revival's best album, it is by far the best American rock record of the 1960s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take Me To The River, March 12, 2000
By Brent Evans (Rockhampton, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Green River (Audio CD)
Third CCR album for '69 and first in a trilogy of classics,GREEN RIVER shows us a Creedence who can do no wrong.BAD MOON RISING/LODI was a double A-sided hit.The song,GREEN RIVER,was based on a drink bottle label and childhood memories of a camp run by a relative of Buffalo Bill Cody. SINISTER PURPOSE has pure evil guitar running through it's veins.CROSS TIE WALKER is full of swamp rock imagery.COMMOTION is a wry comment on how we seem to be rushing from one place to another;not getting far at all.TOMBSTONE SHADOW is about a trip to a gypsy.WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE is about America in 1969 and the inabiltiy to communicate.The band sounds like a well oiled machine.This is a must own for all CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL fanatics.
