Description
Willy and the Poor Boys is the fourth studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in November 1969. It was the last of three studio albums the band released that year, arriving just three months after Green River.
The album features the songs "Down on the Corner", from which the album got its name, and "Fortunate Son", which is a well-known protest song.[3] Creedence also released its own version of "Cotton Fields" on this album, which reached the #1 position in Mexico.[4]
The album was planned to be formed around a concept introduced in "Down on the Corner", with Creedence taking on the identity of an old-time jug band called "Willy and The Poor Boys". However, this was dropped rather quickly, except for the cover, where the band remains in character.
