Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy & The Poor Boys (LP)

On Willy & The Poor Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival straightened up a little. The experimental psychedelia of the self-titled debut and the swamp heavy rock of Bayou County and Green River were put behind them as they embarked on a more down-the-line country and blues rock record. It bore such classics as "Down On The Corner" and "Fortunate Son", the latter another of CCR's songs to become a member of Spotify's billion's club. Two of the tracks on the album owe their existence to Blues legend Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter who wrote both "Midnight Special" and "Cotton Fields". Only vinyl gives this album the depth of character it needs to properly appreciated.
