They showed, in the most entertaining way possible, how the music could embrace — and was, in fact, founded on — elements of R&B and the blues, country, folk, and jazz, as well as a world of other musical forms. Creedence were pioneers in the fusion of rock and country. They were ‘roots’ before roots took hold as a music genre… Willy & the Poor Boys7230879Willy came out in 1969, when, as annotator Ed Ward writes, “a period when Creedence, surely the most anomalous band in the San Francisco explosion of the late 60s, was also proving its most commercial seller of them all.” The album contains the anthemic Fortunate Son along with Down on the Corner and a cover of the traditional folk song The Midnight Special. Bonus tracks include live versions of “Fortunate Son” and “It Came Out of the Sky,” plus an unreleased studio version of “Down on the Corner” recorded with Booker T & the MGs for a TV special at the band’s Berkeley rehearsal hall. The song features John Fogerty trading licks with guitar hero Steve Cropper.Type: AlbumMPN: 7230879Country/Region of Manufacture: DeutschlandRelease Year: 2008Tracks: 1: Down On the Corner2: It Came Out of the Sky3: Cotton Fields4: Poorboy Shuffle5: Feelin' Blue6: Fortunate Son7: Don't Look Now8: The Midnight Special9: Side O' the Road10: Effigy11: Fortunate Son (Bonus)12: It Came Out Of The Sky (Bonus)13: Down On The Corner (Bonus) Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
