Nowadays superstar bands release an album no more frequently than once a year, or in many cases once every two or three years. But in 1969, there was simply no stopping Creedence Clearwater Revival. 1969 proved to be an epic year in the band’s too-short history. In that year alone they released three Top Ten albums, had four hit singles (charting at #2, #2, #2 and #3, respectively) with three additional charting B-sides. They even found time to record a fourth chart-topping album released the following year.
Released in the summer of ‘69, Green River was Creedence Clearwater Revival’s third studio album, and their first No. 1. It features hit singles “Bad Moon Rising” and “Green River” (both reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100), plus fan-favorite “Lodi." Included in Rolling Stone’s 2003 “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list, it captures CCR’s swamp rock sound with gritty guitars, John Fogerty’s iconic vocals, and storytelling steeped in Americana.
