Down on the Corner is the 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival release built around John Fogerty's song of the same name, which rode on the flip side of "Fortunate Son". Both songs came from Willy and the Poor Boys, the band's fourth studio album, and both came from Fogerty's pen.
This was Creedence at the top of their game, the stretch when the hits just kept coming: John Fogerty singing and playing lead guitar, his brother Tom on rhythm guitar, Stu Cook on bass and Doug Clifford on drums, four guys from El Cerrito playing lean, swampy roots rock as if it were the easiest thing in the world. The pairing climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 that December and did even better in parts of Europe, reaching No. 2 in Germany, though Britain only let it get as far as No. 31.
