  Creedence Clearwater Revival Green River CD
Leader, singer and songwriter John Fogerty possesses one of rock's most distinctive voices, his hoarse, urgent intonation matched by his group's mathematically precise drive.
GREEN RIVER, their third album, includes two million-selling singles, the bluesy title track and "Bad Moon Rising," both of which encapsulate the Creedence metier.
Remaining selections exhibit a similar economy, crammed with punchy hooklines, tight playing, and incisive lyrics, which take inspiration from traditional styles but in the process create something unique.

Green River lived and died before the word “grunge” became a media buzzword.
The sound of Green River is certainly grunge in retrospect, but to describe it at the time it would be part hair band, part punk, and part classic rock…plenty of shrieking guitars to go with Arm’s shrieking voice and plenty of distortion in the mix for good measure.
This double album covers the bulk of Green River’s catalog, a couple of which are covers.

 TrouserPress.com :: Green River
More than any other single band, Seattle's Green River (named after a local serial killer) was responsible for the rise of long-haired dudes in Sub Pop T-shirts standing around in clubs, shaking their manes like so many lost Status Quo guitarists.
It's tough to hold that existence-as-a-bad-influence against the group though since, in its prime, Green River was a commanding and awesome unit, and one of the first post-punk units to recapitalize the word ROCK.
Green River is less formalist and fuzz-specific than Mudhoney, but it's easy to discern the latter's roots on this earlier vinyl scuzz.

By Kevin L. Hoover Eldin Green's new album, "Mad River" is jam-packed with ideas in the form of catchy and substantive melodies, clever arrangements and lyrics that dare to be alternatively enigmatic, amusing and ironic.
Green showcases his horn playing and arranging abilities on "Minimum Wage," a brisk shuffle with cruel insights into the joys of inadequate compensation.
Green's goal for "Mad River" was to have a "radio station on a cassette." It would have to be college radio, then.

However, Green River are even more famous for the bands that sprang from their breakup: Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone, the latter of which also contained the roots of Pearl Jam.
Green River specialized in a dirty, sludgy, gleefully ugly hybrid of punk, heavy metal, and bluesy hard rock, drawing from bands like the Stooges and Aerosmith in addition to the hardcore punk outfits where many of the members first cut their teeth.
Green River were formed in Seattle in 1984, taking their name from the area's notorious, then-recent serial killer (who wasn't brought to justice until around two decades later).

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Green River [Remaster] - Creedence Clearwater Revival at Epinions.com
"Green River" (the album, not the song) is about the blues as seen through the eyes of a young man in the late 1960s.
This is the only song on the album not written by John Fogerty and, with it, the band pays homage to its rhythm and blues roots.
"Green River" did have two big hits on it: "Green River" and "Bad Moon Rising." In addition, there are three or four really good songs done with CCR's swampy rockabilly style that was so distinctive both in 1969 and today.

 Creedence Clearwater Revival : Green River - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
One of the differences between the two albums is that Green River is tighter, with none of the five-minute-plus jams that filled out both their debut and Bayou Country, but the true key to its success is a peak in John Fogerty's creativity.
Perhaps that's why Green River has fear, anger, dread, and weariness creeping on the edges of gleeful music.
For all its darkness, Green River is ultimately welcoming music, since the band rocks hard and bright and the melancholy feels comforting, not alienating.

While they have songs that have rightfully earned popularity, their albums are not as solid as the singles.
But their album Green River questions whether they could maintain that kind of energy for an entire album.

 Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival (lyrics & reviews)
Anyway, GREEN RIVER is just packed with great songs, including "Commotion", "Wrote A Song For Everyone", "Lodi" (another personal fave of mine), "The Night Time Is The Right Time" and "Green River".
The rest of the album is slightly weak compared to the other songs but it is still very good.
This is the best CCR album you will ever buy, dont buy the best-of's because with a band like CCR you have to buy the albums to get all the really good songs.

Green River isn't as chock-full of CCR standards as the record that followed it in 1970 (Cosmo's Factory), and, at 30 minutes, it's briefer than its rather brief predecessor (Willy & the Poorboys).
'Green River' and 'Commotion' open the disc in what might be one of the best "one-two punches" ever to open a side of an album, and on the original vinyl, side two opened with 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Lodi', a sterling complement to side one's intro.
Creedence's first two albums, their self-titled debut in 1968, and "Bayou Country" the next year, were gems in the band's legacy, establishing their own sound: a bare knuckled approach, yet flexible, spanning as far as rhythm and blues.

Green River continued to play locally, including a show with Agent Orange on August 8th, then embarked on their third and final tour.
This record is of particular interest, both to Green River fans and students of the Seattle scene in general, as it marked the first individual band release on the now legendary Sub Pop label.
I always felt Green River was a good band, but their singer (Arm) didn't quite fit the mold of what they were trying to do.

 Green River Album Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Actually, Green River was comprised of future Mudhoney (Mark Arm, and, briefly, Steve Turner) and Pearl Jam (Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard) members, making Kurt Cobain's snide remarks about Pearl Jam's "corporate ambitions" all the more laughable given their pedigree.
The band is named after the Green River Killer, and Arm certainly sounds unhinged at times (priceless lyric: "when I see you with that bastard hand in hand, well I just want to cut off your Goddamn wrist"), while the dirty guitars churn or grind behind him as the rhythm section thrashes about.
Still, theirs is quite a grungy little song, and Green River deserves respect for being forerunners of a sound that would soon shake rock n' roll to its very core (courtesy of St. Kurt).

The Green Album, recorded nearly five years after their previous album, the widely ignored (but wholly excellent) Pinkerton, sees the band reunited with former Cars frontman Rik Ocasek, who produced their multi-platinum debut way back in 1994.
The album's first single, "Hash Pipe", kicks off with a bass-heavy, 70s-sounding metal riff, while "Island in the Sun" is as summery as its title suggests.
Weezer are back after there five year hiatus with a bang, The Green Album is a mix of River's finest song writing moments from the last five years, and after the success of their previous Ric Ocasek produced album (The Blue Album), this one is sure to rock even bigger bells.

 Green River Seattle band Green River may go down in history as the first
Seattle band Green River may go down in history as the first 'grunge' band, and were certainly the first to release a record on the Sub Poplabel.
By 1985 they had appeared alongside the Melvins on the DEEP SIX compilation album on the C/Z label, released a six song EP, COME ON DOWN, for Homestead, and were playing the same clubs as another local band, Soundgarden.
Both bands came to the attention of Sub Popowner Bruce Pavitt, who decided to expand his cassette-based fanzine into a full record label and worked with them in producing the 12-inch EP, DRY AS A BONE, which was released in June 1987.

In 1969 when Creedence released its third album, Green River, the Summer of Love was long over, the Tet Offensive had redefined US involvement in Vietnam and while Woodstock would seem to be the crescendo of all that was optimistic in popular culture, Altamont would eventually wipe all that away.
Yes, "Bad Moon Rising" might not have been prophetic -- its lyrics are too vague -- but it still sounds like a warning, a siren's wail saying the good times couldn't last.
By the time of its release, Creedence was a hit-making machine: three albums in less than two years, seven Top 10 singles (though they never had a #1 song in the US), they even played Woodstock.

 Green River : Rehab Doll - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The final Green River release (with a fun rant through David Bowie's "Queen Bitch" on the cassette version) found the quintet switching from Jack Endino to another producer, resulting in a record that sounded caught somewhere between grunge mania and metal/corp rock folly.
The weird thing is that the quality of the recording actually went down -- Mark Arm sounds like he's singing from across the room much of the time, for one thing.
Other moments of worth include moments of psychotic acoustic freakouts, Arm's voice providing most of said psychosis, and a slew of the song titles ("Porkfist," "One More Stitch"), but, generally speaking, Rehab Doll, like Green River itself, is most noteworthy for what the people involved did next.

Out of all the bands that branched out from the Green River family tree, the originals sound most like Mudhoney upon first listen.
Melody and hooks aren't exactly Green River's strong point; their music gets over on straight-from-the-gutter attitude, kicking up a filthy, distorted racket punctuated by Arm's nauseous moan.
