#870 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River

Right insistent rock and roll, shedding some of the bayou sludge, drifting on out to the river where the water moves fast and clear and the sun beats hot and the days are numbered and long and full of longing.

Balladic, bluesey, simple, but with an aura of power and mystery and substance all at once. You sense that this is the only kind of music this band could ever make, so they made it, and it was good - classic rock doesn't come much more classic than that 4/5
