Unveiling the Timeless Magic of
Creedence Clearwater Revival Greatest Hits

Bad Moon Rising was the lead off single from the bands Green River album which was released in the spring of 1969, four months before the album came out. This track was also written by John Fogerty.

The song reached #2 in the US and #1 in the UK. The inspiration came to John Fogerty after watching a 1941 film called The Devil And Daniel Webster.

The song's lyrics reflect a sense of impending doom and have been interpreted as a commentary on the turbulent social and political climate of the late 1960s.

With its irresistible melody and catchy lyrics, this song is a timeless classic that has been covered by countless artists.

Before You Accuse Me was covered by CCR  but never released as a single. It's an old Bo Diddley song from 1957. 

The track appears on their debut album Creedence Clearwater Revival album.

Born On The Bayou was a single from the 1968 album Bayou Country.

Surprisingly this song never charted anywhere. The only other single in the 60s and 70s that failed to chart somewhere was their very first single called Poterville. 

Down On The Corner was one of two singles from the 1969 album "Willy And The Poor Boys"  and was written by John Fogerty.

"Down on the Corner" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969 and reached the top 10 in several countrues.

The song features a catchy rhythm and sing-along chorus, capturing the spirit of street musicians and the lively atmosphere of a fictional band called Willy and the Poor Boys performing on a street corner.

With its upbeat tempo and irresistible groove, this song is a true representation of CCR's signature sound.

Fortunate Son was the other single released from the Willy And The Poor Boys album.

This single managed to reach #3 in the US and #2 in Australia but never quite made it to the top. It was also written by John Fogerty. The track is a symbol of protest against the Vietnam War.

The song's distinctive guitar riff was created by John Fogerty to mimic the sound of a military march, adding to its rebellious and anti-establishment tone. As an anthem of protest against the Vietnam War, this track remains a powerful symbol of social and political unrest.

Green River was without a doubt the bands most successful single release. Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Green River and Commotion all came from that record. This track was also written by John Fogerty.

Green River" reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969 and was a top 10 in several other countries.

The title track of the album, "Green River" is a homage to the Green River, which runs through the band's home state of California. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for the countryside and the joys of simpler times.

A re-release in 1972 fared better with the song reaching #12 and #3. The final release was in 1990 but the song only charted in The Netherlands at #64
