Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River (Green Coloured LP)

Green River was Creedence Clearwater Revival's triumphant 3rd studio album. It features the uber smash hit, "Bad Moon Rising". A song so deeply ingrained in the 70s American zeitgeist that it was recently added to Spotify's billions club, reaching 1 billion streams in December 2024. It's one of only 876 songs to do so. And it's not even the best song on the album. That honour belongs to "Lodi", with the title track "Green River" a close third. If you've never heard this album on vinyl, you've not really lived. In particular the "Green River" overlayed guitar licks. There's a brightness to them on vinyl that you can't hear anywhere else. 

For a deep dive, check out John Fogerty's cover of "Bad Moon Rising" featuring the Zac Brown Band on his 2013 retrospective album Wrote A Song For Everyone. It's a bop.
