Episode 99 is here, the wheel takes us back! Back to the Summer of 1969! It’s the album Green River by the band Creedence Clearwater Revival. What will the guys think of this classic? Stay tuned for the review!
Green River is the third studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released on August 7, 1969 by Fantasy Records. It was the second of three albums they released in that year, preceded by Bayou Country in January and followed by Willy and the Poor Boys in November.
CCR’s third studio album includes two of their biggest hits, “Bad Moon Rising” and “Green River“, both of which peaked on the U.S. chart at No. 2, as well as the highly regarded “Lodi” (No. 52) and “Commotion” (No. 30). “Bad Moon Rising” is notable for its jaunty, happy music juxtaposed with its dark, ominous lyrics.
