Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: The Band that Fogerty Built was truly an American phenomenon during their relatively short recording career. Each of their albums, beginning with 1969's Bayou Country, was a Top 40 hit-making machine. Willy & the Poor Boys produced two smashes--"Down on the Corner" (which is about the fictional black street group that gave the album its title) and "Fortunate Son," Fogerty's most ferocious political rant. Each LP was a concept collection of sorts, and this one was a tribute to the South, featuring two traditional standards popularized by Leadbelly as well as two instrumentals that made you swear CCR were from New Orleans rather than Oakland, California. --Bill Holdship Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not EnoughAs much as I love this band and this album, Fantasy have been truly mean when it comes to extras. Even with the 3 additional tracks, the album still only weighs in at 43 minutes. There's clearly more material in the vaults, leaving this a missed opportunity. Rating:  - Willy and the Poor BoysA lot of revisionist thinking lately has seen people claiming this to be CCR's most overrated record. After several listens, it's safe to say there is nothing further from the truth. The release of 'Chronicle' has been both a blessing and a curse to CCR's studio output, with many believing that albums such as Willy are primarily filler. Again though, I just can't see it. One of their best single cuts, Down on the Corner, is followed by the classic rocker Up In the Sky and then the superb cover Cotton Fields. I was expecting a lot of filler following a strong beginning, but it just didn't come. The songs that seem to have come in for the most stick- Feeling Blue and Effigy- have become two of my personal favourites, the latter in particular I ... Read More: Rating: - CCR's 4th album superseded nowAs such this album was a worthy follow-up to Green river. With 2 hitsingles and 4 other magnificent tracks: It came out of the sky, Midnight special, Don't look now and Cotton fields available on the Chronicle vol.1 and 2, this album leaves us with 4 more country-influenced tracks/instrumentals that are not core CCR material, Feeling blue is catchy though. So it remains only for completists. |
