Willy and the Poor Boys (VMP Marble)

In 1969, Creedence Clearwater Revival were on top of the world, the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy. In October of that year, the band released their third full-length album in 12 months, an LP that would feature a song that would ensure they'd live on forever: Willy And The Poor Boys. Featuring the slamming "Down On The Corner" and the eternally iconic "Fortunate Son," the album is a clear snapshot of a band at their peak. Within another 12 months the band would be down to a trio, and within 24 they'd be completely broken up. Creedence burned bright and quick, but their flame is still visible, thanks to records like this.
