Description
You may not remember The Velvets or The Golliwogs, but you’ll remember “Bad Moon Rising,” “Proud Mary,” and “Down on the Corner,” hit songs which appeared after further name changes to Creedence Clearwater Revival, and then, CCR. Many critics attribute the group’s phenomenal success to John Fogerty’s vocals and songwriting skills, but the inclusion of songs about social and political issues, and a swamp and bayou-tinged brand of rock, would today earn them a label as “Americana.”
