* ConceptAlbum: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The title track might lead you to believe this to be some sort tale of a poor band, but nope, as soon as "Down On The Corner" is over, Willy and The Poor Boys are never mentioned again.

* ConceptAlbum: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The title track might lead you to believe this to be some sort tale of a poor band, A very loose example, but nope, as soon as also subversive in a way. "Down On The on the Corner" is over, about a band of street musicians, and the cover photo shows Creedence Clearwater Revival as the band, and you can even identify the individual roles by which instruments they're playing (Doug Clifford is Rooster, Stu Cook is Blinky, Tom Fogerty is Poorboy and John Fogerty is Willy). "Poorboy Shuffle" is supposed to represent an actual song by Willy and The Poor Boys are never mentioned again.(at one point someone says "Hey Rooster!", directly referencing "Down on the Corner"). None of the other songs really play into that concept, but there's a meta-concept going on too: it's all a subtle TakeThat to ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'', in which Music/TheBeatles likewise took on the identity of a fictional band, but while they sported colorful uniforms and depicted their "audience" as a bunch of famous celebrities on their cover photo, CCR just wore ragged street clothes and posed in front of a Chinese grocery store in UsefulNotes/{{Oakland}}, with a few children as the audience.
