Review about EFFIGY Hauntingly awesome | Reviewer: Go Fogey | 10/21/09
CCR lyrics, in my opinion, are certainly in the normal folk / country story telling method.
When I hear this song, I certainly get a sense of a dark night lit up in flames. Though mostly metaphorical it still conjures up some imagery.
The almost every chord struck on the guitar riff, especially the heavy thunky "WOW" just before he sings "effigy" in the chorus are played so forcefully it would make an electronic tuner break with discordance. you can feel the anger, the passion in that strum.
Creedence Clearwater Revival was not a counter-culture band in the same sense as say Jefferson Airplane,Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash Yet they were one of the few bands at the time to write songs that were a social commentary such as "Fortunate Son". "Run Through the Jungle", "Don't Look Now (It Ain't You or Me)". I doubt the song ever got much airplay, and it was one of those "forgotten" tracks. It was recorded as a part of the song set of "Willie and the Poorboys". Fogerty provides a rather intricate guitar solo with his gritty-sounding Rickenbacker guitar.
