No meu último post eu falei um pouco sobre o southern rock e de um de seus grandes expoentes, a Marshall Tucker Band. Esta noite trago outro dos grandes clássicos do gênero, além de um sucesso comercial americano e mundial durante o final dos anos 60 e início dos 70: O Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Vindos da California, os rapazes do Creedence tiveram outras dois nomes antes de encontrarem o definitivo em 1968, The Blue Velvets e The Golliwogs. Quando a gravadora em que estavam, a Fantasy Records, foi comprada em 67, eles ganharam uma chance de gravar um disco, desde que mudassem seu nome. Mudando de The Golliwogs para Creedence Clearwater Revival e com a dispensa de John Fogerty e do baterista Doug Clifford do serviço militar, surgiria o primeiro disco, o homônimo Creedence Clearwater Revival de 68.
Desde seu início, o grupo já fazia sucesso. Os covers Suzie Q e I Put A Spell On You encontraram uma boa repercussão em nível nacional. Os dois discos que seguiram consolidaram a banda como uma das grandes do rock americano. Bayou Country e Green River, ambos de 69, emplacaram vários hits e renderam discos de platina à banda.
Porém, sua obra-prima, na minha opinião, é este disco que postamos aqui: Willy & The Poorboys. Lançado também em 69, ele conta com uma sonoridade mais country, mas mantendo a pegada à lá " blues swamp rock" da banda. Todas as faixas são clássicos e é muito difícil classificar qual é a melhor, por isso vou indicar as duas menos óbvias: Feelin' Blue e Effigy.

On my last post I spoke briefly about the southern rock and one of the its great exponents, the Marshall Tucker Band. Tonight I'm bringin' another great classic of the genre to you, fellas. A true comercial success in the US and worldwide during the late 60's and early 70's, I present you Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Comin' out of California, the boys from Creedence have had two other names before they found their definitive one in 68, they were The Blue Velvets and The Golliwogs. When their record label was sold in 67, they got a new shot to record a full-lenght album, as long as they'd change their name. Changin' from The Golliwogs to Creedence Clearwater Revival and with John Fogerty and drummer Doug Clifford dismissal from the army, their first record would come out, the homonym from 68.
Since their begining, the group was already successful. The covers Suzie Q and I Put A Spell On You found a good repercussion nationwide. The two following albums came to cement the band's status as one of the american greatests. Bayou Country and Green River, both from 69, did put a lot of hits on the charts and got a couple of the platin records to the band.
But Creedence's true masterpiece, in my opinion, is this record we're posting here: Willy & The Poorboys. Also released in 69, it brings a different sound to band's classic "bluesy swamp rock", they now have a country touch. Fogerty's vocals are truly astonishing in this album, not to mention his guitar playin', both unique and remarkable. All the tracks are great classics and it's very hard to classify which is the best, that's why I'll point out two of the less obvious ones: Feelin' Blue and Effigy.
