Creedence Country:(1981)
I'm sure as soon as you read the band's name a tune of theirs started in your head, at least it does with me. In the late sixties and early seventies these guys were the most down to Earth rock'n'roll band around. They weren't flashy. There were times when they seemed out of step with the times. There was constant in-band fighting. But, damn were the songs good, and plentiful for a time. In 1969 alone they released three classic albums, Bayou Country, Green River, and Willy And The Poor Boys. All of which contained hits. Sadly like a lot of bands who burn that brightly it all burned up way too quickly. Creedence are a testament to doing your own thing, and doing it to the best of your ability, and coming out on top in spite of prevailing trends.
