Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 24 bit digitally remastered reissue of their 1969 album. Nine tracks, including 'Green River', 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Lodi'. Also features the original cover art. Digipak. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Creedence Clearwater Revival Photos
Amazon.com essential recording: Remarkably, this is the third studio album Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1969! During that stunning burst, John Fogerty could do no wrong. Green River isn't as chock-full of CCR standards as the record that followed it in 1970 (Cosmo's Factory), and, at 30 minutes, it's briefer than its rather brief predecessor (Willy and the Poorboys). Still, this is economy at its best. The title track, "Lodi," and "Bad Moon Rising" are all indelibly etched into the memory banks of classic-rock fans, while "Commotion" and "Cross-Tie Walker" are perfect swamp-rock complements. "The Night Time Is the Right Time" is one more in a series of spot-on Fogerty covers. And "Wrote a Song for Everyone" manages to be both rarefied and down to earth in the same breath--which is really CCR in a nutshell. --Steven Stolder Customer Reviews

 Rating: - swamp rockOne of my first albums. Still holds up after all this time. How could these guys not be from the swamp! Rating: - The Great American Band's first completely original effortWith Concord Music Group having purchased the Fantasy catalog, the fortieth anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival's debut LP provides a suitable opportunity for a fresh round of reissues. All six of the original foursome's albums (from 1968's Creedence Clearwater Revival through 1970's Pendulum) have been struck from new digital masters and augmented by previously unreleased tracks. Those who purchased the 2001 box set can pick up most of the bonus tracks separately as digital downloads (the two longest bonuses are CD-only). Those who didn't buy the box, and think they'll buy all six reissues may want to consider the box set for its inclusion of pre-Creedence work from the Blue Velvets and Golliwogs, the seventh CCR album Mardi Gras, the ... Read More: Rating: - 2008 Reissue of "Green River" "Green River" is one of Creedence Clearwater Revival's best albums. Of course, all 6 albums released by CCR in 1968-1970 are essential, but "Green River," an album that yielded 4 hit singles and went to #1, was the album that really established CCR's fame. Before this album, they only had one true hit, "Proud Mary." Personally, I probably prefer "Willy and the Poorboys," but since all 6 true CCR albums are so solid, it is hard to choose a favorite. "Green River" features the best non-hit CCR song, "Wrote a Song for Everyone." All of the songs are great, with a dark undertone to all of them, except the cover "Night Time Is the Right Time," the weakest track here. It is easy to see why this album was so popular in the summer of 1969, ... Read More: Rating: - just rock on guysIf you've heard at least three CCR songs in your lifetime and enjoyed them, guess what? You WILL find a lot to like about Green River. It's an entire albums worth of that same raw bluesy sound and style. It's just a great album if you like that sound, and nothing more really needs to be said, so please, pick it up as soon as you possibly can and experience just one of many reasons why the classic rock of the 60's and 70's deserves to be loved and remembered forever (oh, and sorry for sounding like a classic rock fanboy). Rating: - Of Course It's A 5Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RUJD3FD64FBL3 I can't add anything to the 5 star reviews except to demo how good "Bad Moon Rising" is for JumpRock. I wish I could give it an 8 to offset the three 4 star reviews, none of which give a reason for the downgrade. It's not that I'm obsessive, it's just that I care about justice so very, very, very much - especially for millionare (I assume) rock and rollers like CCR - and good on 'em. |
