It was 54 years ago today (January 5th, 1969) that Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) released its second album and breakthrough collection, Bayou Country. The set, which was the first of three albums John Fogerty wrote and produced for the band during 1969, will always be remembered for its opening cut, “Born On The Bayou,” and CCR’s signature hit, the Top Two smash and instant rock standard, “Proud Mary.”
With their trio of classic 1969 albums — Bayou Country, Green River, and Willy And The Poor Boys — CCR’s legacy was cemented for all time. We asked John Fogerty, who was only 24 at the time, how he was able to pump out three of the most iconic and beloved rock albums in a single calendar year.
