The group is what made Woodstock the spectacular three-day concert that it was, because top performers agreed to perform only after Creedence Clearwater Revival signed up. Many of the band's songs have a populist theme, such as ''Fortunate Son''.

The same was true in 1970 with “Travelin Band”, “Up Around the Bend” and “Lookin’ Out My Back Door”. 1971 brought more success with “Sweet Hitch-Hiker" and " Have You Ever Seen The Rain”, both top ten singles.
