Americana at its bluesy best, 28 Mar 2003
CCR's Green River is for me their most accomplished work - lacking some of the excesses of Cosmos Factory, and tauter than Willie and the Poor Boys. Looking down the track listing, and the spine tingling guitar work in 'Tombstone Shadow' and mournful lament of 'Lodi' - still makes me want to grow a beard, light some rope and relive the early 70's.

My personal choice!, 7 Jun 2007
Creedence was such a great band, that almost all they did was remarkeble. All their albums got the needed qualities to could be someones favorite.Even more its interesting to hear them all, because of the changes in style thorugh the years. Starting with slightly experimental rock and long improvisations moving ahead to more straight rock and roll. Depending on taste different listeners can prefer different Creeedence-albums. This is my personl favorite Creedence album. It is their third album. The first is very experimental, the second quite jamsession like with long solos. Then came what I see as the central massterpieces. Then some I find lesser interesting. This is the first - and best! - of the three central masterpieces if you ask me. Not too freaked out and not too straight. Cathing a perfect balance in between, with the best from both sides, and presenting real strong material. Great songs - pearl after pearl. Showing John Fogerty at the peek of his songwriting, even though he have proved greatness both before and since.
