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.
