"Bad Moon Rising" features in the 1981 horror comedy film An American Werewolf in London, a fun movie which heavily influenced Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Creedence Clearwater Revival sounds at times like Southern Rock, Country Rock, Louisiana Swamp Rock, but they were from Northern California. They performed at Woodstock, but were left out of the movie for no fault of their own. "Born On The Bayou", "Suzie Q", and "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" will rock your socks off. "Proud Mary", "Green River", "Down on the Corner", and "Midnight Special" might get you groovin' too. Also lend your ears to "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Lodi", "Don't Look Now", and "Lookin' Out My Backdoor" among many other great songs from them.

Review Summary: Green River is the first Creedence Clearwater Revival album to follow the band's brilliant formula that made them roots rock hitmakers and American icons. Creedence Clearwater Revival is the sound of hot, humid summer nights in the south sitting (or should I say “sittin’”) on the front porch and basking in the moonlight. The music seems to reflect life in the deep country backwoods with chugging rhythms, rock-steady beats and the vocal howl of John Fogerty as wild and free as the great outdoors. CCR turned out a string of roots rock hits that steered clear of many of the psychedelic music influences prevalent in the late ‘60s, and 1969’s Green River is widely considered to be the band’s first classic album. Clocking in at a mere 29 minutes, Green River shows the band moving away from the extended jam sessions of previous albums and focusing on the short, direct, radio-friendly hit without losing any of their roots rock steam. Opener “Green River” sets the scene for rural americana perfectly: “Walkin’ along the river road at night / Barefoot girls dancin’ in the moonlight.” Its infectious beats, rock-and-roll-meets-country-twang guitar riff and the celebration of country life over ruination in the big city are all prevalent throughout Green River. Namely, “Commotion” begins with a loud guitar riff and warm harmonica that make it one of the album’s best and a honky-tonk classic. Not surprisingly, one of the best songs on the album is the radio-staple “Bad Moon Rising.” A short, upbeat, and energetic burst of country charm, Fogerty lets his voice echo with commanding power. But for perhaps the best technical work on the album, “Lodi,” the story of hitting rock bottom in a dead end town, features the most imaginative and memorable guitar riff on the album that brings pleasant melodicism to ease the impact of Fogerty’s melancholy. “Cross-Tie Walker” is another testament to the band’s technical skill, with a great prominent bass line courtesy of Stu Cook and the always steady drumming and rhythm guitar of Doug Clifford and Tom Fogerty, respectively. The album closes on what are unfortunately two subpar (to CCR’s considerably high standards, that is) songs, the clichéd bad boy tune “Sinister Purpose” and “The Night Time is the Right time,” a cover of a 1954 blues song by Nappy Brown. While the former passes through with little fanfare and Fogerty’s least convincing vocal performance, the latter’s fragmented, sexual theme doesn’t really fit alongside Fogerty’s original, narrative portrayals of country life. As the lead singer and creative force of the band, John Fogerty wrote songs whose often dark subject matters, including looming death, sin, and hopelessness were in part obscured by the steady rock rhythms that infused poppy guitar riffs and boogie grooves. In doing this, Fogerty and the rest of CCR became a smart, radio-ready hitmaker, and Green River is CCR’s first album to showcase this. For all the commercial and critical achievements of the album, in its most basic terms, it is an undeniably good time.

[@carinahansson2361]

John Fogerty has been my musical hero ever since my mother introduced me to CCR in the early 70's when I was about 12. Through all the years my highest wish was to see him live one day and finally in 1998 my wish came true! It was a night I will never forget, he was on fire and played all my favourite songs! Love you John, always have and always will!

There are a few songs that CCR recorded that were hard hitting Blues, Rock, Crazy Lead Guitar. I hope you both react to "Susie Q", "Keep On Chooglin", "Born On The Bayou", and their cover of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" which is 11 minutes long. CCR is widely viewed as a Southern Rock Band but the truth is they are from California and just love Country & Western Music mixed with Rhythm & Blues.

[@NigelIncubatorJones]

Try some of their deeper cuts, like "The Working Man", "Bootleg (Alternate Take)", "Gloomy", "Walk on the Water", "Penthouse Pauper", "Pagan Baby", "Ramble Tamble". For longer jams, check out the 11-minute "I Heard it Through the Grapevine", or one of the 10+ minute live versions of "Suzie Q", or the 1970 Oakland concert version of "Keep on Chooglin'".

[@paulk.6969]

Great video as usual!! CCR was my favorite band when I was growing up, so any song of theirs that you react to will be great!! One of their biggest hits which John Fogerty wrote was “Proud Mary” which was also covered by Ike and Tina Turner. Both versions are terrific. If you haven’t already done so, check out the 2 versions. You will enjoy them both as I always have. I guess I might be a little more partial toward the Fogerty version , because to cover a song and turn it into a hit is great. To write that song plus sing it, and turn it into a hit is even greater.looking forward to your next video!!!😎👍👍👍

[@ToddSauve]

Bad Moon Rising is my FAVOURITE CCR song! Thanks for covering it! Two minutes was about the limit that AM radio allowed in the late 1960s when this song came out. The entire band is from the San Francisco area of California, but they liked the sound of Louisiana and Mississippi river music so that is what they tried to emulate. "Swamp Rock" not Southern Rock, which was established by the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Almost a difference without a distinction--or the other way around. Sometimes John Fogerty would sing "there's a bathroom on the right" instead of "there's a bad moon on the rise" just to mess with everybody's head. Ha, ha! He did that on a birthday performance he did for Howard Stern here on KZbin. Fogerty wrote this song during the Vietnam war because he felt like the world was going to come to an end due to all the turmoil, thus the apocalyptical Biblical references like "one eye is taken for an eye." The music actually doesn't fit the message. The guitar playing and beat is too uptempo for a song about the end of the world but we loved it back in the late 1960s and we still do today! 🎸🎸🎸👌

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

Back in the day, the music industry was hesitant to put out longer songs as singles. Every once and a while a longer song would make it big, but generally the songs were pretty short.

[@rebeccasimantov5476]

Oh, man. When I was a kid, there used to be these TV commercials, for huuuuge mail-order music collections, featuring thousands of songs by dozens of artists, which you could buy as a sort of monthly subscription (pay only $49.95/month for x number of months). The bulk of the commercial would have the announcer talking up the merits of the thing, while names of musicians and groups scrolled up the screen, and five-second clips of songs played in the background one after another. The details changed from month to month, but in one incarnation or another this same basic commercial must have run several times an hour for at least a decade, maybe longer. Other songs and other bands came and went from the commercial over the years, but this song, and specifically the title line of this song, was always always always one of the five-second clips that played, and the band name, Credence Clearwater Revival, was always one of the band names that scrolled by while the announcer was talking about how much music you'd get and how little you'd have to pay. After a few years I started thinking of it as the Bad Moon Arising commercial, because that was the only song that was always part of it. I've never heard the song before, but I must've heard that five-second clip a hundred thousand times.

After a little while the terror tends to peter out, but you don't want to be out and about while the bad moon is out. Hunker down, lay low, let it pass, come out later. Your life may depend on it.
