I liked Old Man down the road and Fortunate son. “The Old Man Down The Road”, was the last good song he had. Here’s what Fogerty had to say about it : https://www.songfacts.com/facts/john-fogerty/the-old-man-down-the-road

First album I ever bought was Willie and the Poor Boys.
Local legend has it John Fogerty wrote Green River based on his time spent on Putah Creek.

CCR was an incredible band, back in the day. They churned out hit after hit after hit, all due to John Fogerty's songwriting skills.
When you really read into the tragic story, breakup, lawsuits, record label lawsuits, etc... A lot of people mistook John Fogerty for being an ego-maniac, taking 100% full control over CCR. They all signed a disastrous record deal with Saul Zantz, head of Fantasy Records. The 3 other guys wanted more creative control, etc... Tom Fogerty (John's older brother) quit, making CCR into a trio in the real early 70's. The 3 remaining members recorded "Mardi Gras" as the last CCR album (minus Tom Fogerty), with each member contributing to songwriting, arranging, lead vocals, etc... IT SUCKED!!!
...and that was it. The end... Or, so we thought. CCR lived comfortably off their royalties all through the 70's and early 80's. Once John Fogerty tried to re-invent himself as a solo act, he got sued by Saul Zantz. During all the lawsuits and countersuits, Doug Clifford(drums) and Stu Cook(bass) did the unthinkable and turned against John Fogerty! Whatever happened in the courts, I don't know. But, John Fogerty is still himself, playing as a solo act, and the other guys had to call themselves "Creedence Clearwater Revisited" with 2 or 3 other extra members to fill in musical spots.
So sad to learn what happened to a really incredible band with hit after hit after hit....
