I've got absolutely no hesitation in calling Creedence Clearwater Revival the greatest American rock 'n roll band of all time. But what sometimes gets lost in consideration of their work is how dark much of it was. Sure, they're tunes that will absolutely get you running out on the dance floor, but give a close listen sometime to the lyrics of "Bad Moon Rising" or "Green River."
No such worries with "Lookin' Out My Back Door." Just John Fogerty, sitting out on the back porch, listenin' to Buck Owens, on a "dinosaur Victrola." I can see him now...
