A song about a place that didn’t quite exist. John Fogerty said he wrote this about a place in northern California called Putah Creek, but in his mind he called it Green River, borrowing the name from a fountain soft drink of his youth. Yet the record sounded as swampy as the backwoods of Louisiana. CCR was very prolific in 1969 with three albums all making the Top 10 and four singles all in the Top 3.
