Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Willy and the Poor Boys, released in November 1969, captured the band’s swamp rock grit at the height of Vietnam-era unrest. The cover was shot outside the real Duck Kee Market in Oakland, California, with the group posing as a jug band, their instruments in hand, amps nowhere in sight - a nod to the album’s street-corner anthem “Down on the Corner.” Recorded at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley and produced by John Fogerty, it blends blues, country, and rock, while tracks like “Fortunate Son” became enduring protest anthems. The market itself stood at 12th and Franklin until it closed in the early ’80s, but the photo cemented it as a piece of rock history.
