USA, 1969, swamp rock

Creedence Clearwater RevivalWilly and the Poor Boys: Ah! So these are the boys down on the corner! The working American poor. Busking, picking cotton, playing their raunchy harmonicas, finding solace in their blues guitars, protesting, asking rhetorical questions a la Steinbeck about adequate food and new shoes, warning the listener about just what a mean ol’ boy The Man really is.
