In 1969 the Creedence Clearwater Revival took even more risks and delved into their texts very brilliantly with their album "Green River", surpassing even their previous "Bayou Country" in musical quality.
With a more resounding and powerful sound it is also the darkest and most gloomy album, here John Fogerty's compositions appear without complexes, which can be perceived in his lyrics but also in the melodies of his music.
Fogerty was trying not to be pigeonholed as a bucolic band with its own dark side, which in the end would be as attractive as it was addictive.
"Bad Moon Rising" and "Green River" are two examples clergy, but even the halftime "Lodi" has that connotation of desperation.
The album would climb to the top positions in the North American and British charts and obtained a triple platinum record.
