Green River

Super Album kann man ziemlich durchhören

After owning Chronicle 1 & 2, I decided to start buying a few CCR albums. This is one of the two that I ended up purchasing. It's not only a classic album, but it's just so amazing how they put out three albums in one year. Besides the first six songs being absolutely fantastic, "Night Time is the Right Time" is an excellent cover. I know the two guitars on "Tombstone Shadow" can irritate the ears of some and it turns them off to the song, I find it to be irritating too. Yet, I still like it. Great album and their second best one to "Cosmo's Factory."

CCR are played in every movie set in (or with a flashback to) the Vietnam War

Really nice album. 4/5 Upon subsequent listens, the album is just really solid. It catches quick and doesn’t let up. This should be out of 10, I feel a 9/10 would be good since I can give 4.5/5. It isn’t a 5/5 so I guess 4/5 still.

Classic!

Decent bluesy country rock. Favorite Track: Bad Moon Rising

These dungaree dons don't miss

At the beginning, yeehaw? At the end it was nice

Iconic sound. Good stuff.

How can you not like CCR. Right off the bat the sound is inimitable (though I learned that John Fogerty reasonably sued The Hollies when “Long, Cool, Woman” came out). But I suppose that’s what it means to be impossible to imitate - try it and everyone sees the original. These songs conjure grainy film footage of high school football players and soldiers on their way to Vietnam - so wound up is this band into the fabric of the American past. Really enjoyed the opportunity to go back and listen to them. Some highlights: yes, I like the key change in “Lodi.” I think it’s expertly done. I also appreciate the way “Sinister Purpose” presages some of the hard rock that was about to come in the next decade. And while Fogerty had an appropriate reputation for reimagining soul and blues songs made famous by other artists, I’d say leave “The Night Time…” to Ray Charles. All in all a great listen. But not as a good as Willy and the Poor Boys.

Почему-то пропустил этот альбом. Как бы назвать жанр. Определённо, какой-то рок, 1969 Слушается легко, не тяжеляк, не жестяк. Приятно. Понедельник начался приятно. В принципе троечка уверенная.

8.3/10

Sometimes all we need is good old bluesy swampy rock

Brilliant band, great record.

Classic

It's not bad. I just don't care for it much.

dig it

Little known fact: Creedance only made songs so they can be used in Vietnam era war and Tarantino-esque movies.

So many good songs on this 1960s. Classic. Bad moon rising, Lodi, Green River, etc. John fogerty's voice is one of the things that makes this band awesome, but also the simple yet catchy guitar rhythms and solos. Every kid learning the rock guitar learns some creedance clear water revival songs

Lodi that was a good album

The Night Time Is The Right Time for this album. It was alright. Don’t know if I’d cause a ton of Commotion around this one though.

Frickin' awesome! One of my early introductions to rock.

Thought I'd hate but it's alright, bit samey

Best song: Green River/Bad Moon Rising Worst song: Write a Song for Everyone Notes: when he said "Write a SHOONG for evrywuhn" I felt that Overall: somewhat not enjoyed, but not offensively bad or anything of course. 4/10 or 2/5

Couple hits, but a lot sounds the same

Not bad. Radio hits unlike other tracks on record. 3.6

There's just something about the way Creedence wrote songs. They wrote a bunch of great albums, all in a pretty short timeframe, with a pretty similar sound, and they're all fantastic. This one is no different. It's just strong songwriting, great playing, and awesome vocal performances. Not much more to say really, it's just good music.

slightly better than country music idk kinda boring not for me

This is awesome.

SINISTERRRRRR PURRRRPOSEEEE

Classic CCR. Highly recommended!!

I blame the Dude

4/5 Some good tunes.

Exactly what I would expect of a CCR album!

Nice slow guitar, different vibe but I like it.

Dust

Creedence tape

Wonderful!

Fogerty's guitar tone is delightfully sharp on the rockers; not a big fan of the slower songs but they're not bad. Wish it was harder and faster, but overall it's still got it's place.

Ultimate driving music for chooglin' down the highway

Sympa. Du rock qui se base sur du blues 12 mesures, avec des fondus enchaînés. J'ai l'impression que ça fait un peu vieillot.

Crunchy, fuzzy, almost out of tuned distortion pn the guitars, contributes to the CCR "sound".

⭐⭐⭐✨✨ not my taste but not bad. have you ever seen the rain-simple lyrics, band had rising tension. fortunate son-1:17 guitar goes hard, vibes from 'no hay nadie como tu' commentary from difference of classes, working hard. Bad moon rising- I like this one, not the voice but the lyrics are good. proud mary- again a commentary on classes, 'poor people are good at heart' kind of thinking, working hard. up around the bend- 'being in the city will drive you crazy' haha.

Theyare very ok

Unrelated

Very folksy album. The guitars are very slappy and fun for such depressing topics discussed in the songs. They were definitely worried about war and the environment the same as we are today. Was surprised by the instrumental songs.

Litt for country(?) for min smak, en del bops

Great album albeit seems a bit short. Really tight songs on this - Lodi is a personal favorite.

Decent by CCR, but they're all decent

When I was a kid, my grandfather would play a lot of CCR in the car when he drove me to and from school. So this brings back a lot of good memories. So I don't necessarily feel like I can objectively judge this album as nostalgia would put this instantly at a 5, even though this is definitely not an album I would ever see myself wanting to listen to during my day to day activities. But those good memories are too hard put aside just for a review, so 5.

Pretty good, but I think CCR has better albums than this one. Will I listen to again: 15%

More CCR already? I guess that means we're getting it out of the way early. Much more enjoyable than Cosmo's Factory, though still not super into it. The hits are more my style and the instrumentals don't drag on forever, which is great. "Bad Moon Rising" was definitely stuck in my head all day. Aside: a week in and I need a new personal rating scale or I'll never use numbers below 3. Aiming for roughly "I would refuse to listen to this again" to "I need to listen again / it's a favorite album". By this standard most of my first week's ratings would drop by one.

jaaa wel nice maar zou t niet opnieuw luisteren

The album is nice and easy. Makes me want to go on a summer roadtrip.

only in the USA

I feel like I already heard the best don't on the album "Bad Moon Rising", which is great, but nothing else really reached that height.

Was a lot better than I was expecting. Would never have sought it out on my own but would listen again.

Good album. I’m a CCR fan and love their catalog, this isn’t my favorite but it’s good.

Not sure. Seems to lack some punch

Bad Moon Rising and Green River are two favourites of mine from the band that I'd heard before. It was nice to hear the rest of the album.

Iconic southern rock. Not a go to but very good

A blastfrom the past. 40+ years since I last played this album in full and it still sounds better now than it was then. Fantastic.

Great album, makes me want to drink and cut a rug.

Bad moon rising is a cool track everything else sounds like attempts to make Bad moon rising

has a couple of bangers

John Fogerty’s haircut gets rated a 0 out of 5.

This album has some great classics like bad moon rising and one I forgot about, green river, which is great. Overall the album is a little slow for my taste but I can see why they were so popular back in the day.

Upbeat folk rock

So many bangers. CCR takes me back to watching my dad pound beers at a tailgate for the miners. Great tunes, a few absolute classics, overall, every song is strong enough to shine on any other album of the genre.

Excellent classic sound

This is the best CCR album and one of the greatest, purest rock 'n' roll albums ever made. It's gritty, it's swampy, it's got kickass moments and poignant moments. A great, American band at the peak of their powers.

Great album with a lot of jams. CCR's sound is great, especially the vocals. Good vibes all around. Green river, bad moon rising, etc... great album.

Pretty good sound, typical CCR

is fine. obv bad moon rising is a classic.

Finally some good dad rock.

- has some great songs

I'll take it

Not for me

Good music to play in a ski resort Bar

Lots of good ones here.

Green river - 7.5/10 Commotion - 8.5/10 Tombstone Shadow - 8/10 Wrote a Song for Everyone - 8/10 Bad Moon Rising - 8/10 Lodi - 8/10 Cross-Tie Walker - 7.5/10 Sinister Purpose - 7/10 The Night Time is The Right Time - 7.5/10 TOTAL - 70/90

I’ve listened to a fair few CCR albums over recent months, and I’ve enjoyed them all. This makes me quite happy to see today’s album. I haven’t listened to this one in full before, so I’m looking forward to exploring it. It’s weird though - a couple of years ago I had no interest at all in CCR. Now I think they’re great! Songs I already knew: Bad Moon Rising Favourites: Bad Moon Rising, The Night Time Is The Right Time Once again, this album was really fun. It really gives the feeling of a bunch of friends hanging out and recording music together, and that music just happens to be really good. I think I’ve said this before, but the singer isn’t the best, but it somehow makes the music so much better. It’s hard to explain, but everything definitely comes together very nicely. This is worth a listen.

Good

Heard before: yes From the first time I heard CCR, I got it immediately. Tight little songs, muscular guitar, slapback echo, voice like a bullhorn - a classic pop/soul vibe. I mean, they were incredibly popular so it’s not like I’m some kid of genius, but this workmanlike, song-focused approach was right up my alley. This is the second of *three* records they released in 1969, each one amazing; they were working hard while everyone else was getting stoned. Again, sadly relatable. To this day, I still mumble “stuck in Lodi again” under my breath when shit don’t work. Which is all the time. Top tracks: Lodi, Green River, Wrote A Song For Everyone

As I listen to this, I slowly morph into a 60 year old guy named "Barry" that spends his time drinking with his friend group, "The Goon Squad", which has managed to stay together since middle school through their united love for a really garbage hockey team.

Great

This was great, I really enjoyed it overall. Generally upbeat musically, though the lyrics are not always so positive. The first half plus of the album were pretty much all great (the second half was good too but not as many standouts for me). No real notes here, just a strong album top to bottom. The songs are pretty short, the production is tight, it sounds unique compared to other rock from the time. A bit of a rootsy/country sound throughout too, I got Caamp vibes frequently. There's also a few very famous songs here, most notably "Bad Moon Rising". I also really enjoyed Lodi as something a bit more melancholy. Favorite song: Bad Moon Rising Other: Green River, Tombstone Shadow, Wrote A Song For Everyone, Lodi

Pretty quick hitter but it hits just right. They come in hot with Green River with such a cool guitar riff, picking up the pace a bit on Commotion and simply putting together a really tight album from there. CCR is comforting, they just do jangly fun rock so well. 4 stars

Creedence Clearwater Revival can rock, they’ve got soul, they’ll get psychedelic, they play with purpose and a sense of urgency…they’re pretty much the perfect rock and roll band. Fuck me, did I just write a Wesley Willis song?

Heard before: Yes Favourites: Bad moon rising, Lodi, Sinister purpose 3/5 albums I've gotten I've already heard, and 2 of them I'm giving 5 stars lol. This albums deserves it tho, such a great half hour.

Bad moon is actually not the most enjoyable track on this LP, it’s a bit distracting, out of place, doesn’t fit the rolling vibe of the rest of the country/rock songs. Classic rock is nice.

Roots

Pretty rad, man

Some great songs but a bit too similar for me. Lots of very standard swampy stuff.

Nostalgic, feel-good music. John Fogerty’s singing and the effortless, sophisticated guitar solos are the perfect combo. The bonus instrumental and live songs in the Expanded Edition are so good too. Tracks that stood out to me upon 1st listen: 1 - Green River; 3 - Tombstone Shadow; 5 - Bad Moon Rising; (10) - Broken Spoke Shuffle; (11) - Glory Be; (13) Green River/Suzie Q (live) Would I revisit this album: Yes!

Still cracks me up that this band is from El Cerrito and not from the south. This album finds a way to make swamp rock jam band-y type music crisp and concise without droning on and on. "Bad Moon Rising" is an all-time classic, so well done. The title track is the other standout.

Very influential. Reminds me of cruising around with my dad while he was half ripped on Natty light looking for a good fishing hole.

despite the short run of this band, mostly due to brotherly bickering, CCR cranked out nothin but good stuff. And this album is one of two I'd give 5 stars to. If you don't know em. get to

Great hits. B sides are ok - not as strong as previous albums.

Very gokd

Simply Brilliant- Best album I've listened to so far. Will be exploring their back catalogue soon, expect to listen to this album again.

Green River and Commotion are a great one-two punch, but the rest of the album left some to be desired. Average for me.

Wow, what a really great album! Classic hits that make you feel the Americana.

Not many stone cold Credence classics on this one beyond Bad Moon Rising but it’s a cracking album nonetheless characterised by Fogerty’s drawling vocals, languid guitar playing and typically upbeat songwriting

Okay album, carried by a few great songs.

ClasSIC CCR

Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Bad Moon Rising, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring. 2/5

Wailing guitars and authentic southern rock… some classics here, but the whole album is a vibe

Previously listened to: Cosmo's Factory (5/5) ************************ This album is what I'd call comfort music. It's familiar, relaxing, goes down easy. Not as good as Cosmo's Factory. There are no extended jam sessions as they have an other albums. Every track is under five minutes. Still, I could put this on any time and enjoy it. Best track: Bad Moon Rising

Great intro with songs I knew. Touched on Vietnam and disenfranchised. CCR rocks

Bad Moon Rising all time great song. Concise 29 minutes. Classic time piece of culture. CCR!

Not really a genre I enjoy, but even so a nice atmosphering feel-good experience. The background instumentals are a bit generic (although they may not have been back in the day), and I enjoy the jams at the end of the songs. I likely won’t listen again but it was nice to hear.

Already loved, but listened again. Almost perfect

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s kinda meh to me though, ok but not groundbreaking Favourite song: Track 5 - Bad Moon Rising

Favourite tracks: green river; commotion; tombstone shadow; wrote a song for everyone; bad moon rising; lodi

I never was much a fan of Creedence Clearwater Revival, I appreciate their influence on roots/southern rock but this isn't really something that I would listen to frequently. It's weird to think that when this was released that side two would have all their best songs on it. Standouts: Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Sinister Purpose

better than I was expecting. Bad Moon on the Rise is awesome.

Nice classic jamming, great to vibe to even if it is a little samey.

awesome!

I liked this. I wonder how much of that is some sort of historical cultural tourism where I associate this sound with cool 60s/70s movies. I dunno, but I liked it. Standout track: Green River

Good blend of folk, blues, and rock. Leans very heavily on the rock though. I really enjoy a lot of this band's stuff. A low 4/5

Mercifully short yet still too long for me. I disliked this even more than I disliked Bayou Country. The love for this band is just something I cannot comprehend on any level, the worst aspect for me is the vocals, which I find abrasive and unenjoyable. I would never listen to this willingly. It’s boring at its best and painful at its worst. Only good song was the final track “The Night Time Is The Right Time”. Without that track, this would be a 1 for me.

Mountain driving

This album brings back some great memories for me. I feel like this is a good example of a great southern rock album.

Classic album with some great hits. Sinister Purpose is a really underrated gem

Strong intro note. Basslines set the songs vibe. Lots of ummm pa back and forths. Slow songs followed by peppy.

Groovy baby. Some great guitars. Love foggertys voice.

these guys always bring the vibes

Pretty good, and what a way to start this effort. 9/24/23 start date.

4/5 all bangers felt like movie “old music” big fan would come back.

The hits are hits for a reason, but the album cuts didn't impress much.

Plenty of good tunes on this album, Green River is my favorite.

CCR is a solid band who put out solid albums. This is not their best album but it's still pretty good.

My favorite CCR album with Lodi, Bad Moon Rising and Wrote A Song For Everyone

It's alright. Some of the songs are a little too predictable. The singing is full on all the time. Would have been better with more dynamics. Favorite song: Green River.

Lo escuché pero nada especial. Buenos ritmos y mejor q el primero así q se lleva un 6/10. No le preste mucha atención

Sympa sans plus

Didn’t like it as quite much as I thought I would but still good. Already knew Bad Moon Rising and liked the other similarly mildly spooky songs. Favourite Sinister Purpose.

1.Sounds like classic chord progressions for country-ish rocky driven songs, not my go to genres but definitely a good listen and good songs 2. Great bass line and riff and drum beat great example of double time beat. thoughts: interesting choice of album cause it doesn't have any of the main hits by CCR so i discovered a lot of new songs. good songs overall but not the most exciting, quite a common and very heard sound nowadays. 4. Slower swung song, i liked this one a lot, very sweet intro as well. very countryish, feels less bluesey. It constantly feels with the drum fill before the chorus like they're gonna pick it up and either modulate or at least go double time, but hasn't happened yet. 5. More classic but the joyful train beat there with the guitar line makes it much more rockabilly like. Sinister purpose: strong Hendrix vibe in there both with the changes and more itnense drum fills and effects on the voice, strong reminder the album is from 1969. Love this one. Night time is the right time: Pure blues here with awesome BVs love that one. Thoughts: the album is pretty short so it's a great pick to hit instantly that vibe and have a perfect playlist of these songs, i can hear Kurt Cobain's voice and accent in there slightly which changed my way of hearing it. Because the album is short though i'm left wanting to hear the second album already, but i guess i'll hear more CCR to stay in today's theme. As a drummer this album seems like a go to to learn train beats along with some appropriate fills. I think it's good for what it tries to do but very unsurprising still and not something i'd keep playing again and again

I've now heard three different albums in full by this group, which I imagine is more than most people who consider themselves CCR "fans". This one is better than Bayou Country, or least feels like it. There's a tad more variation, and you fan kind of see the direction the band continues to go in, but I still don't see what makes this so special. It's just swamp rock, right? I'm not missing something special, right? Because I really feel like I'm missing something with these. I hope Cosmo's Factory opens my eyes in some way.

Loved

Fint album

Some simple yet enjoyable country rock

I can see why this was popular at the time but just sounds like generic jam band rock to me now.

13th September 2023 Listened in the day while driving to and from Stroud for peek a boo. Dad came to fix radiator. Love a bit of Creedance, very underrated band.

I don't want to know a world without CCR.

On peut pas se tromper avec Creedence, c’est qualité assuré

I like CCR, and this album certainly had a lot of good songs on it. Wasn't blown away by it but an enjoyable listen.

Very straightforward blues rock classics, some are great, some are cheesy. I enjoy CCR in small doses but get bored of their LPs.

This is just good old fashioned rock'n'roll. Fantastic album from a fantastic band.

HL: title track, "Wrote a Song...", "Lodi", "Bad Moon Rising", "Night Time..." If there's one bad thing I can say about CCR, it's that the songs on the albums (7 in 4 years, that's insane >:o) are sometimes interchangeable. Would any of these songs sound out of place on Willie & the Poor Boys, or Cosmo's Factory? Probably not Then again, the songs are so consistently enjoyable that I don't care that much. A big ole chicken pot pie of a record September 8, 2023

What I would imagine country rock would sound like. Quite pleasant to the ears. I enjoyed Commotion and The night time is the right time.

Solid. Rating: 4.5

It was a chill album and I enjoyed listening to it

Another nostalgia album. Listened to it a lot growing up and still do Probably my favorite of the "nostalgia" albums so far

Southern rock achtig album? Veel gehoord van deze band, denk dat ik vrijwel geen muziek van hun heb gehoord nog. Bevalt best prima. Tombstone Shadow vind ik een lekker, beetje bluesey nummer. Kom er achter dat bluesey bijna altijd iets positiefs is. Bad Moon Rising is toch een herkenbare klassieker. Maar moet zeggen dat het allemaal vrij veel van hetzelfde is. Luistert dan wel weer lekker weg, datwel. Prima album, niet fantastisch. Favo: Tombstone shadow, Bad Moon Rising

CCR kan niet ontbreken op deze lijst natuurlijk. En dan ook nog uit het geboortejaar van moeders. Zeer duidelijke country elementen, ik snap wel waar Nashville z'n inspiratie vandaan haalt. Zeker een nummer als Bad Moon Rising zit er vol mee. Favorieten: Bad Moon Rising, Broken Spoke Shuffle

Bin fan du ''wein wein wein'' de la guitare. Je connaissais ce groupe, mais pas tant non plus. Ça s'écoute très bien.

Classic. I enjoyed it

CCR is just that good. Phenomenal but short rock album that just leaves me wanting more.

bruh

Really generic but damned if I did find myself taping my toe to those blues riffs.

Can't quite believe I'm on my THIRD CCR album in this list. Response is similar to the first I heard. It's alright. Bit Musty. Only half an hour, which is a bit of a shame, bit listening to it it doesn't FEEL that short. Bad Moon Rising is a corker though.

Nice CCR album

It’s shameful this album came up on a Wednesday, all I wanna do is grill hot dogs and crush Bud Lights. The rock n roll has just the right amount of twang and the album holds up very well when a lot of the contemporary rock from around this time comes across as a bit infantile or simple.

I wrote an essay in college comparing Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline with Creedence’s three albums from 1969, including Green River. Willy And The Poor Boys probably gets more fanfare, but this record is sneakily one of the best of the late sixties. “Wrote A Song For Everyone” is an extremely under-appreciated song. It features John Fogerty’s songwriting at its best, digging deep emotionally and addressing civil rights issues through lines like “Saw the people standing / Thousand years in chains / Somebody said it’s different now / Look it’s just the same.” Aside from the Vietnam-fueled “Fortunate Son,” the hilariously misleading “Bad Moon Rising” is probably the band’s most popular song, and for good reason. Named after a town 30 miles south of Sacramento, “Lodi” reminds us that the band is from California, not Louisiana, and is my favorite Creedence tune. “Sinister Purpose” is another underrated track, and has one of the band’s most addicting guitar riffs. 1969 would have been a great year for Creedence even if they’d only released this one album, but they released three top notch records, which just goes to show how much they accomplished in such a short time. And of course, always remember: Don’t go ‘round tonight, well it’s bound to take your life… there’s a bathroom on the right.

It's a good album getting back to early rock n roll roots. It's apparent that this is early roots-rock/country-rock. Some good songs on this classic album, but there wasn't a lot of variation; after a while, the songs sounded too similar to keep my attention.

No classics

Boring

I love CCR! So happy to get to listen to this album today. So many hits (Lodi, Bad Moon Rising, Green River) on one record. This is apparently one of three albums made in the same year. CCR are a southern rock band. Their mix of fuzzy guitars, and John Fogerty's distinct vocal delivery make for an easy listening experience. Overall, I loved this album! So much so, I listened to it twice! Being such a fan of CCR, it was nice to listen to an album cover to cover, and discover a few fantastic B-Side songs in the process! Favourite songs: Lodi, Bad Moon Rising, Green River, Commotion, Cross-Tie Walker, The Night Time is the Right Time Least favourite songs: Wrote A Song For Everyone 5/5

great album to listen to.

There were some forgettable songs on there but a lot of gems!

Dang! That twang! Some of the lesser known tracks I liked were commotion and tombstone shadow.

Great album

Nice album!

3.5. Has some really nice songs and vibes, but also a simple at times

They keep it simple but they make it work

FANTASTIC

Feels more like a greatest hits than one album!

Classic CCR! What an amazing record!

Damn, I think I'm getting quite into CCR. I couldn't be any less American, but I find myself vibing with this a lot on a rather pleasant summer evening, kind of surprising considering the horrible British summer we've been having this year. Really an excellent record, probably beats out Cosmo's Factory for me. Favourite: Bad Moon Rising

Could probably be anywhere between a 2 and a 4 depending on how honky tonky I'm feeling. Today it's a 2.

Good tunes!

Enjoyed listening. Favorite song was Lodi. Never appreciated CCR until recently.

Another great blues rock album from CCR. Includes their hits "Green River" and the timeless classic "Bad Moon Rising".

If you like CCR, you'll like this album.

Nice 60's rock. Exactly what I expect out of CCR. No true standout gems.

Strong CCR offering. Lots of stuff from the hit list of the time

Gooddd!!!!!!

In 1981 the iconic American Werewolf in London film was released with revolutionary award winning gory makeup.... and also a pretty decent soundtrack which hailed back to the late 60s when John Landis originally wrote the script for the film. Anyway, why do I open with this? It's because the comedic horror film soundtrack was my first introduction to Creedence Clearwater Revival through the awesome track Bad Moon Rising, just as the lead character David was about to turn into a werewolf for the first time. It's wee gem experiences/memories like this that introduce us to previous eras of music that you may otherwise have missed out on. This album is packed with many great bluesy rock tracks, which I enjoyed and would happily listen to over again... I'm also quite partial to playing Bad Moon Rising on acoustic guitar, quite an easy track to play.

Raw, authentic southern rock. A few of their best songs on here. A few tracks and styles which probably influenced Kings of Leon in their early days. Fantastic album.

Vahvaa taas. En pitänyt tästä niin paljon, tuntui että huippukohta puuttui (vaikka oli oivallisia biisejä kyllä). Liian tasainen siis, vaikka tasaisuus toki on CCR:n ydin.

Bad Moon Rising ja Lodi ovat objektiivisia esimerkkejä kauneudesta. Ei levy muutenkaan paska ole - omien rajoitteidensa sisällä sen kestokyky lähentelee äärettömyyttä.

Door deze lijst wel beetje fan geworden van CCR, bayou country een 5 gegeven. Dit album ook top, maar niet zo goed als die. Vond vooral de laatste instrumentals en live nummers leuk maar die horen vgm niet op het echte album… prima 4 sterren!

the greatness of CCR, swamp rock in all its delicious glory. john fogerty and the boys really bring it with this one. this album also contains an excellent cover of blues standard “the night time is the right time”. highlights: “green river”, “bad moon rising”, “lodi”, “the night time is the right time”.

This is an album of straight hits. Fully solid.

CCR is so darn great. No complaints here.

Favourites: • Green River • Tombstone Shadow • Bad Moon Rising

Outstanding Album

The boomer flow is heaviest with this record. If you like that sort of thing, this would be great for you. I however, do not have fond memories of these sorts of bands.

När man står i ett träsk och inte vill spotta ut tuggtobaken.

CCR were essentially small manufacturers of consumer products, pounding out a series of totally predictable, perfectly competent and decently tuneful, but faux-swampy and utterly paint-by-the-numbers pop. “Lodi” is their most affecting song, which may have something to do with the fact that it’s about a town in California where they’re actually from, and not Louisiana, for and to the culture of which the group seemed to pine and aspire. Maybe they should have made just one or two albums in these few years, rather than six and then they would seem better (presuming they toss the dodgy choices [e.g., “Night Time is the Right Time”]). One suspects they just wanted to be liked and chose an inoffensive, if slightly countrified, middle-of-the-road-ism. That they sold more records than the Beatles of the time is only more evidence – as if such were needed – of the inescapable dodginess of the taste of the American musical consumer.

Favourite song: Lodi

I get it, if you want some sunday porch music that could practically bring the river to your backyard....put this on!

Green River- 3.5/5 Commotion- 3.8/5 Tombstone Shadow- 3.6/5 Wrote a Song for Everyone- 2.6/5 Bad Moon Rising- 4.8/5 Lodi- 3.8/5 Cross-Tie Walker- 3.2/5 Sinister Purpose- 4.1/5 The Night Time Is the Right Time- 4/5 Total - 3.7/5

Not a fan. Felt like it was over-played back in the day.

Jaa heerlijk! Dit is echt fijne muziek. Had al drie van de nummers in de favorieten staan, dus dat ging lekker

it was all the same and also exactly what i expected ccr to sound like. i am happy to continue making jokes about them with my partner. the only one i didn’t mind was the instrumental one

Good stuff. The cover of "The Night Time Is the Right Time" was a surprising and enjoyable way to wrap up the album.

I have a big appreciation for CCR & wore out one of their albums in college. That twang & that Southern soul really struck me (eventhough the band is from California). Excellent listen. 4.5 stars

Not a big CCR fan, but it was a fun listen.

This is the Creedence album I've heard before but I actually liked Cosmo's Factory more than this one. It's still a good album and a great example of classic American rock.

Likes: warm and welcoming sound, stomp-clap kind of fun, straightforward and honest, joyful riffs, accessible af, each track its own vignette, even the spooky growly aspects feel wholesome Dislikes: vocals are generally fantastic but can be grating for me at times, at times a little bored with how generally familiar the sound is Favorite tracks: Commotion (great attitude and momentum), Cross-Tie Walker (fun bass), Sinister Purpose (devil's gonna getcha), Broken Spoke Shuffle (sunny melodies and chord changes) Favorite lyrics: "wrote a song for everyone when I couldn't even talk to you", "burn away the goodness, you and I remain" 3.5/5

Pleasant album. Easy listening.

Very chill I knew one song (bad moon rising) thanks dad

Mi aspettavo di più sinceramente. Con 'Lodi' migliora di brutto

Nothing remarkable

Yes. CCR. Can't go wrong.

A short but very effective, effortless and an overall enjoyable roots rock album. I loved it!

Another strong set of songs from CCR.

green river follows bayou country, which i've also listened to as part of this project. CCR honed in on that swamp rock sound, huh? it's a remarkably easy (swampy?) album to lose yourself in. "bad moon rising" has to be one of my favorite classic rock songs. it's got such a good hook, and i can't resist singing incorrect lyrics. like most albums with huge hits, "bad moon rising" does overshadow the other songs. sometimes the other songs can be forgettable and not noteworthy, but that's not the case here. fact is, "bad moon rising" is just that good! the rest of the album can hold its own. some songs like "cross-tie walker" or "commotion" are unusually peppy for CCR, but they still contain that usual twang of swamp rock that connects the whole album. "sinister purpose" has a different tone but it's delightfully disquieting. green river is definitely an album that contains distinct songs yet it flows quite well. 3.5

It really is amazing that Creedence Clearwater Revival tapped into such a winning formula and then released three subsequent albums around it, with "Green River" being the second among them. Seeing as it was recorded and released not long after the outstanding "Bayou Country", "Green River" certainly feels like its spiritual successor. This album contains more of the same kind of outstanding swamp rock that made this band so unique and great. They just continue to utilize and perfect their signature sound here. I don't have much more to say that I didn't already say in my "Bayou Country" review. Again, just more of the same great stuff, maybe even slightly better!

I really enjoy albums from this run by CCR. Just solid music all around. 3.5/5

Cool sound

guitars!!! fun vibe but not a re-listen.

Great album. Classic

Gorgeous. Absolute staples of classic rock, including perhaps CCR's signature song, 'bad moon rising' and a lovely tribute to Nottingham Forest's on-loan Brazilian left-back (Renan) Lodi [citation needed]. A great album, by a great band.

Highlights: Bad Moon Rising, Green River Leave Em's: Wrote a Song For Everyone, Cross-Tie Walker Overall Thoughts: Just classic rock music out of this album. Their country orientation throughout made the album more appealing then some other soft rock explicit records from the time. My one negative comment is that the songs start to sound a little too similar towards the back end of listening, however as someone who enjoys the sound and content that they are delivering I am okay with that shortcoming. My leave em's for this album were really just the songs that I liked the least of the nine. Maybe they could have cut it down to seven or so essential tracks, but I think Wrote a Song For Everyone does deliver a needed break from the fast paced album. I could use this album as background music for a car show or anytime I would like to be transported to 1969. Score Breakdown: 3.911 & 4 -> 3.956

Another classic. This is just a great band and I love how their albums have no fluff.

Great album from start to finish.

Tried listening to this a dozen times and wasn't feeling it. Finally, I started from the beginning and listened (mostly) straight through. I thought it was pretty good with some hits I didn't realize was CCR. But the best ones were more unexpected, like Wrote a Song for Everyone. Overall though it felt like the same song over and over. Sometimes I like that. In this case I did not. Still, that one song is okay...

Very classic rock album.

Only the hits, ye again

• It was not really my style of music but I can respect the musicality of the album • I liked the rhythm and instrumentals • Probably wouldn’t listen to any of the songs again • Favourite song: Sinister Purpose

3.5

Rock canónico. Vinilo.

I mean it’s CCR. Fogerty’s vocals are soulful as ever and I love the straight up swampy feel to the songs. Such an iconic record of the Late ‘60s.

Every song is great. CCR is one of my favorite bands and I’ve heard this album a lot. Fogerty’s voice is iconic.

I didn't like it as much as bayou country. bad moon rising

I want to like this band more than I do. Vocals are often great, guitars are sometimes great. Just don't care for their country rock esque style. 3.5/5 FS: Tombstone, Bad Moon, Sinister, Night Time

Great record. Very unique voice and fun songs all around to listen to.

Didn't care for most of this album. I just don't jive with John Foggerty's voice.

Top 3 Songs: 1 - Green River (1) 2 - Bad Moon Rising (5) 3 - Lodi (6)

Creedence er bra og holder seg godt, selv i 2023. Kunne vært foruten de tre ekstrasangene på Spotify, men det er ikke del av originalalbumet, så trekker ikke noe for det.

Such a good album with so many great songs. My dad had this album.

Mucha reverb, no se entiende la letraaa kdicee

buenísimo pero en un momento me aburrí

Te lleva a otro tiempo y local.

Clásico total. Gran forma de abrir un disco. Qué ganas de agarrar la ruta cada vez que los escucho. Voy con 4 porque su popularidad me lo arruinó un poco.

Es un clásico y en general los clásicos no se discuten jaja. Si Si bien no es mi disco favorito de ellos, es un discazo, con hits y canciones para viajar sin viajar. Tierno y crudo a la vez . Me encantan los discos que cierran con el mejor tema, cómo si fuese un show. El orden y las transiciones son perfectas. El legado que hay en esas letras, voces, composiciones. Lo mejor del rock de guitarras que existe. Que mal que le hizo el Brasil decime que se siente a nosotros, los argenfans.

Este disco es la prueba de que no siempre hace falta arriesgar o innovar para hacer algo de calidad. Fácil de escuchar, funciona a cualquier hora del día. Y además tiene Bad Moon Rising que es uno de los máximos hitazos del rock

I only know them from Here Comes The Rain. This is the first album from them that I fully listened because of this challenge. Their music is usually not my cup of tea but I appreciate this. I just felt the middle tracks really bored me. Only from 'Sinister Purpose' and beyond it got interesting again.

This is a solid representation of CCR's work and CCR is worthy of the list. So, cool.

I love me a bit of Creedence

This is a real classic, enjoyed being reminded of some old songs

Yeah, alright.

never been much of a CCR fan. they are ok

This has as big hits as the other two records released that year, but somehow this feels like the slightest CCR LP. Sophomore slump, anyone?

There's a couple of stand out tracks on this. I'd love to say that the album gripped me with its brilliance, but it didn't.

Awesome early folk-rock

It's funny, when I think of Creedence Clearwater Revival I always think of this local classic rock radio station that sometimes would do a weekend promotion where they played their whole catalog, from the longest song to the shortest. The end of the weekend would be packed with Creedence songs - guitar-driven, intense, tight as hell, deeply fun. The antithesis of every draggy, jammy band you've ever heard. Love it. Creedence probably isn't the first, or even the third band you think of when you think about the 60s. But they're one of the best. Their sound encompasses so much of the mood of their time. But it's also a sound with incredible staying power, which still feels vital 50+ years on. This is Creedence at their lean and mean best, packing in a powerful group of 9 songs in just 29 minutes. It's well-paced but warm and earthy. Several of the band's best known songs appear on here, but the deep tracks are compelling as well. Fave Songs (all songs, from most to least favorite): Green River, Lodi, Commotion, Bad Moon Rising, Wrote a Song for Everyone, Sinister Purpose, Cross-Tie Walker, Tombstone Shadow, The Night Time Is the Right Time

Three albums in a year? Amazing. Not a lost jam in this one.

Good rock and roll music

Good Band - Good Album!

Not every track hits here, but this is a strong rock album from CCR.

Some classic

Solid album, nothing I can really fault, but I got bored towards the end. Tracks maybe a bit samey, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this sorta music. Probs harsh but a strong 2.5 for me.

Mostly simple, effective songs played well. A couple of standouts. Could have done without the instrumental jams to finish off but gladly they are mercifully short. Fave track: Wrote a Song for Everyone

Fogerty and CCR certainly forged and cemented their own sound coming out of the late 60s - whether that's to your taste or not probably changes from one person to the next. I do enjoy it though. Fogerty's simple songwriting, raw and soulful vocals, and catchy melodic rock stylings on this record are maybe only bested here by 'Cosmo's Factory', another album I hope they've put on this list. It's maybe on the daggier end of things and a few tracks a bit samey, but it’s still solid. Fave track: Lodi

Such a great album. The deep cuts are so good.

Folk and rock blended together. Surprisingly good combo (esp as I’m not big into folk) Saved tracks: Green River, Lodi, Sinister Purpose, Green River/Suzie Q

Snilt.

Classic record. Not much more to say about it.

- First band I've hit a second album with. The earlier album (Bayou Country) I really couldn't stand. It felt fake and boring. This one, recorded the same year, is an entirely different affair and I'm not really clear on why. I'm trying to reach back into my memories of the other album - maybe I should revisit it. My review just said it's not my kind of thing and it was really boring. And that's it. I remember it was boring. This isn't at all. It's still traditional - It's certainly not pushing any sonic envelopes - but it's just a great feel to it. It's enough better that I'm still not sure if it should be 3 or 4.

I do not care about the sounds of CCR

Got as far as "Wrote A Song For Everyone'. Patently not true, as this is definitely not for me. Lazy rock music, and the voice doesn't appeal at all. Bailed.

It all comes down to the voice with Credence. John Fogerty certainly has the lungs, but not the subtlety for my liking. All you need to know is that the album highlight is the instrumental Broken Space Shuffle. I've added an extra star for Bad Moon - not so much for the song, but the memories from An American Werewolf in London.

I was digging it at first but then all the songs just started to sound the same. I've never really paid too much attention to this dudes voice but it's a lot froggier than I remember. It's defnitely chill and something you can move along to and I liked it while it was on. I never knew that song was called green river Score: 70 Art: 70

Love this redneck rock - CCR have so many classic hits, and this record was no exception. Cool and quick listen, but it can start to sound redundant.

Not so bad. Need to come back later one more time.

Fucking great album.

Instant classic. You can't not enjoy it*** My favorite tracks were Tombstone Shadow, Sinister Purpose, and Broken Spoke Shuffle. ***Unless you hate fun ;)

v cool

Good old CCR

man I got this the day before "Hotel California" and did not like that but I would file a crime report for some stolen Credence, The Dude is DOUBLE RIGHT

Ist halt absolute Soundtrack Musik

A year or so ago, I listened to “Cosmo’s Factory” by Creedence Clearwater Revival for the first time, and absolutely loved it. So expectations were astronomically high coming to “Green River”, which the band released the year before (one of their THREE 1969 albums!) After expecting it to be as good or better than what I’d already heard, I was a little disappointed on first listen. The songs were good and the performances were strong, but there was nothing to jump out and grip me beyond a solid execution of standard-sounding blues rock. But, once I realised it was unfair to rate the whole album according to how much more I liked something else by the same band, I settled into the “Green River” rhythm a lot more. The middle section of the album was my favourite: “Wrote a Song for Everyone” and “Lodi” are both excellent balances of melancholia and crisp, shining melodies, so familiar it feels as though I’ve known them all my life. “Bad Moon Rising” is the obvious hit here, surrendering to gleeful desolation. Later, even though it’s a cover, the closing rendition of “The Night Time is the Right Time” is stacked with so much raw power that it’s impossible not to be won over. Perhaps my favourite version of this song I’ve heard. Ultimately, this is a 4 rounded up from a 7 as “Cosmo’s” was a 4 rounded down from a 9. The more I’ve listened, the more I’m realising “run of the mill” is just as much a reason to praise “Green River” as it is to deride it. Even though it’s a little basic, “Cross-Tie Walker” is effortlessly evocative and passionate. “Tombstone Shadow” might just be a 12-bar blues, but it’s still tough and muscular: dig that chewy lead guitar part. It’s useless to deny the fact that during this time, John Fogerty was a songwriting tap that just couldn’t be turned off, and here his music flows down the Green River into the ocean of great American songs.

Ferdig med creedence no?

I don't know if I've directly heard a lot of these songs, but they have such a classic nostalgic feel to them, probably because of the friend I had back in the day who loved CCR. It's not quite the kind of music I typically like, but "Sinister Purpose" is actually quite nice! I'd totally jam to that in the future. 4/5

Nice album

Lodi and Bad Moon Rising are ethereal. Everything else is damn good.

The second CCR album I've had already. And the second one I've really enjoyed. There's lots to like in this bluesy rocky earthy sort of stuff and this is going to be something I'll listen to again - and I'll have to work my way through the catalogue of other stuff because not all of it is on this list.

Classic. Really enjoyed this.

3,5

There's better CCR albums than this. It isn't terrible but it didn't do anything for me. Very meh.

Loved it. I've liked credence for a long time though, so no surprise I already knew most of the album.

Is good
