Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy and the Poor Boys Album

The Willy & The Poorboys album is one of Credence Clearwater Revival's best and one of the top albums released in the 60s overall. It includes "Down On The Corner" a joyous southern jam about a street group that played for nickels and dimes and gave CCR its name, and upbeat tunes like covers of Cotton Fields" and "The Midnight Special." The other songs on the album reflect the troubled political times the album was recorded in, including "Bad Moon Rising" and "Fortunate Son," a ringing condemnation of the Vietnam War. This album deservedly lifted CCR to the top of the rock and roll heap and helped them lay claim to the greatest American rock band in history
