Creedence Clearwater Revival - Poorboy Shuffle/Feelin' Blue

This two-for-the-price of-one song in my Top 25 favorite songs of all-time! And it's certainly one of my favorite kinds of songs where when one follows the other on the album it flows directly into it without a pause b/w the songs, like most tracks do on most albums. This rare technique would be more frequent to notice on concept albums which first became popular in the 60's w/ The Beatles and The Beach Boys both experimenting with this new way to approach making a record. But this highly overlooked and immensely underrated deep track(s) in particular comes from CCR's "Willy and The Poorboys" 1969 album. A staple of Classic Rock albums if there ever was one - and one that also featured mega hits/fan favorites "Fortunate Son," "Down On The Corner," and "The Midnight Special" just to name a few. This two song pair is much Blusier, more in line with Midnight Special, than the Top 10 hits which ended up getting almost all of the radio airplay. The whole album musically incorporates many different styles of influences thrown into a number of the tracks with these two being the standouts. Even with songs - some of them massive hits - like "Fortunate Son," "The Midnight Special," "It Came Out of The Sky," "Effigy," "Cotton Fields", and "Down On The Corner," these two blended songs are the two best on the entire album. Just like all of CCR's albums in a career that only spanned 5 years, this is an album that is solid from beginning to end. It is certainly a Top 10 greatest releases from 1969 and one of the most enjoyable and enduring from the peace of love generation. I always wondered why Oldies stations, Classic Rock stations, or just any radio station that would play eclectic music never gave "Poorboy Shuffle/Feelin' Blue" much radio airplay! Perhaps it had to do with time length but then again, that's the way the songs are supposed to be heard: all as one! This is a great example of how back in the day, putting together an album was a crucial part of the art. It was not all and only about No. 1 Hits, like it appears today the latter is much more emphasized and focused on. The artists in the 60's/70's most in particular wanted their listeners to listen to the entire album from start to finish because lots of times the songs blended right into each other seamlessly and the themes of the songs were connected. A lot of the artists were interested in blending different styles of music together to create newer sounds while at the same time paying homage to all of the artists from Blues/Folk/Gospel/R&B/Soul/Country/Jazz styles who had major influences in shaping of their careers. If you've never heard this before and enjoy Classic Rock/Blues, songs with - as J. Geils' wild frontman Peter Wolf would say - the 'lickin' stick' featured heavily, R&B, and overall fun music, then there's a good chance you'll dig this! Creedence truly is one of the all-time greatest/influential American bands! Big shout out to Tom Petty and his "Buried Treasure" radio show on SiriusXM for giving this song the proper attention/airplay it so rightfully deserves! A timeless, and lost classic if there ever was one! The lost classics - and there's a lot of them from all genres - really give those mainstream, widely popular #1 hits that most people know and enjoy a strong run for their money. In a few cases they are even better than the actual hits!
