Willy & The Poor Boys came out in 1969, when, as commentator Ed Ward writes, "Creedence, surely the most unusual band of the late 1960s San Francisco explosion, also proved to be the most commercial of them all." The album includes the anthemic "Fortunate Son" along with "Down on the Corner" and a cover version of the traditional folk song "The Midnight Special". Bonus tracks include live versions of "Fortunate Son" and "It Came Out of the Sky" as well as a previously unreleased studio version of "Down on the Corner" recorded with Booker T & the MGs for a TV special at the band's Berkeley rehearsal space. The song features John Fogerty trading licks with guitar hero Steve Cropper. Series: In celebration of Creedence Clearwater Revival's 40th anniversary, Fantasy Records is reissuing the legendary band's first six albums on six separate expanded CDs. The Creedence Clearwater Revival albums, Bayou Country, Green River, Willy & the Poor Boys, Cosmo's Factory and Pendulum, all originally released in 1968-70, have been remastered and include B-sides and previously unreleased studio and concert material.
