Willy and the Poor Boys is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released on October 29, 1969, by Fantasy Records. It was the last of three studio albums the band released that year, arriving just three months after Green River.[6] In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 193 on its list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
John Fogerty's ability to wed swamp rock with catchy, complex arrangements gave Willy a durability few rock albums can match.
All three of 1969's Bayou Country, Green River and Willy And The Poor Boys are vital additions to the blues rock canon.
