7 August 1969 – CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL Released Classic LP ‘GREEN RIVER’ Today 55 Years Ago

7 August 2024

55 years ago today, on 7 August 1969, Californian rock icons CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (1959-1972) fronted by John Fogerty, released one of their most memorable LPs with GREEN RIVER (one of the 3 longplayers released in the same year, along with Bayou Country and Willy And The Poor Boys).

A high-class Americana roots record that combines jangly guitar-infused rock, country, blues, and rockabilly in a highly spellbinding and most entertaining way with John Fogerty‘s characteristic voice – born to sing rock ‘n’ roll – as a fundamental instrument to CCR’s shaking sound.

C.C.R.’s Commander JOHN FOGERTY Gets The Rights Of The Band’s Catalogue… After 50 Years

16 January 2023

77-year-old JOHN FOGERTY, the legendary singer-songwriter and main man-voice-face
of memorable American rockers CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (also named in short C.C.R. featuring John & Tom Fogerty, Doug Clifford and Stu Cook) has finally, after a legal battle of 50 years with bandmates/labels/publishers the rights of the band’s full catalog
of which the major part of the songs was written by him.

John Fogerty: “As of this January, I own my own songs again. This is something
I thought would never be a possibility. After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my
songs. I also have a say in where and how my songs are used. Up until this year,
that is something I have never been able to do.”

These and the countless other songs are yours again, Fortunate Son.
