Green River

Green River is the third studio album by the 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. Highlights include “Bad Moon Rising,” “Lodi,” “Suzie Q,” and the title track. AllMusic gave the album 5 stars (out of 5), stating: “If anything, CCR’s third album Green River represents the full flower of their classic sound initially essayed on its predecessor, Bayou Country.” The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 16, 1970; twenty years later it was certified triple Platinum on December 13, 1990.

Released in the summer of ‘69, Green River was Creedence Clearwater Revival’s third studio album, and their first No. 1. It features hit singles “Bad Moon Rising” and “Green River” (both reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100), plus fan-favorite “Lodi.” Included in Rolling Stone’s 2003 “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list, it captures CCR’s swamp rock sound with gritty guitars, John Fogerty’s iconic vocals, and storytelling steeped in Americana. Now pressed on color vinyl.
