So it's good guitar playing. He's very underrated as a guitarist. I've seen him live several times, and he has serious chops. He's never stopped improving.
You just opened up something incredible...CCR has been a huge part of our history. Fortunate Son, Have you Ever Seen the Rain, Green River, Bad Moon Rising, I Heard it Through the Grapevine ... And, so much more. Enjoy!
My mother was actually born on the Bayou. Dirt floor shack in the Louisiana swamp, spoke French first seven years of life. Dad found himself a cajun queen! Exceptionally beautiful. As a child my friends would come over to see my mom!!!
I was born in Louisiana, stayed here my entire life, and married a dark eyed cajun woman. She was born on Catahoula Lake, where all the women were born with webbed feet.
Your next CCR reaction should be their cover of the Motown classic written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." It deserves to be mentionned in the same breath as Marvin Gaye's and Gladys Knight's versions. And that's quite a compliment.
This song is funkier that day old chittlins!!! Reminds me of being home in Louisiana, dirty South swamps, way back in the woods and chillin with ya family at the fish fry!!!! This has ALWAYS been my CCR favorite!!!!! Its so dirty!!! 😂😂
I love all their songs. I had their albums. I never got to see them on concert but I did see John Fogerty and John Mellancamp in concert abt 15 yrs ago. I like your reaction. Check out Travelin Band and Green River.
"Suzy-Q." Like this, it's got soul to it. One of their best ever. Long version only please. the short version for Radio play starts to end, right when the song really gets going. Long version is the only version worth playing. I think it's around 11 minutes long. Another great funky song from "CCR" is a cover of the classic from "Screamin' Jay Hawkins," "I Put a Spell on You." Oh Boy! Those three are easily in their top 5 music catalogue. So many hits. Thanks guys.
After John Fogarty's bro left, because he couldn't stand his little bro being in charge, the other guys wanted to do their songs, their way, so he let 'em. Their last album tanked. The best of ccr is straight from the genius musical instincts of John Fogarty.
Come on, could you make my morning any better? One of the greatest CCR jam songs, second only to I Heard It Through the Grapevine - but this one has that awesome, muddy, low-down swamp feel, with that absolutely filthy groove right from the start. Not bad for a bunch of California boys. Another killer choice - much love from Canada!
CCR has literally dozens of hit songs. Along with being a great singer and guitar player, John Fogerty was a prolific songwriter, a veritable hit makin' machine I tell ya.
John Fogerty was a powerhouse in the late sixties, hit after hit, with him writing, singing, and playing lead guitar. It was an odd mix of blues, rock and country, all in one. And well done I might add.
CCR has a SUPER deep catalog. You can't go wrong with anything here. "Wrote a Song For Everyone" and "Long As I Can See The Light" are both criminally underrated songs.
CCR lead singer is John Fogerty, the Bassist is Stu Cook. Just a suggestion Of five more Great songs, Fortune Son, Proud Mary, I put a Spell on you, Bad moon rising and Rollin on a River. I Agree John Fogerty's voice oozes So much soul, it's incredible!! Thanks guys 💞
They had so many great songs it's insane. Up Around The Bend, Run Through The Jungle, Willy & the Poor Boys, Hey Tonight, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Fortunate Son, Who'll Stop the Rain, Sweet Hitchiker, Travelin Band, Ramble Tamble, Effigy, Sinister Purpose, A Walk on the Water, It's Just a Thought, Lodi......The only sad things are how they were ripped off for millions by their manager and John Fogerty's awful treatment of his band mates which included his bro Tom. Have fun and get them scuba suits and tanks ready for a deep deep dive, maybe even break out the mini submarine.
I remember as a kid in The 90s listening to Incredible music like this Growing up swimming and running around EVERYWHERE.. Now The World is So INCLOSED, that kid's of this Generation, Don't Get To Experience phenomenal Golden Age music so FREELY, like we did, as kid's.. BUT TIMES SURLY HAVE CHANGED...!
@@richardeidemiller6739yes, but as another person who grew up in the 80s and 90s, Creedence was always on the radio during that time. Now, I don't think today's kids have this music as a part of their daily life as us older folks did.
John Fogerty is the singer, lead guitar, and songwriter. His brother, Tom Fogerty played rhythm guitar, Stu Cook played that bass, and Doug Clifford was the drummer.
*I know they sound like they are from the Deep south in Bayou country, but not even close. Try Northern California. These guys do it all. A little country flavor, full-on Soul, you name it. This late 60s "Classic Rock" Band is one of the Best ever. So many hit songs and albums it's crazy. Everyone loves this Band.
John Fogerty just got the rights to his music back. It is an incredible saga. Fogerty wrote and was the defining vocal stylist but the tight improvisational style of the band was a MAJOR factor to the success of the Creedence recordings. There is a lot coming out in the media about it currently. Blue-eye soul, no surprise Ike & Tina Turner had a hit with "Proud Mary". The band's cover of Marvin Gaye/Berry Gordy "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" is on parr with the original in the universal classic rock songbook
They were together such a short time but everything they sang was special - 'Have you ever seen the rain', Midnight Special - and for sure if you have ever seen a movie on Vietnam you would have heard either 'Fortunate Son' or 'Run throught the Jungle' - I think they called it 'Swamp Rock' and southern blues rock.
If you've seen any movie about the Vietnam War, you've heard Creedence Clearwater Revival. "Fortunate Son," a song actually about the Vietnam War, is in either "Platoon" or "Full Metal Jacket" (or both). The CCR version of "Suzie Q" is in "Apocalypse Now," etc. Their "Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits" album has 20 songs, and it seems like most people are familiar with virtually every track.
CCR is a deep and wide rabbit hole. Swamp Rock. John Fogarty has one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in rock. These guys are from Cali but you’d never know it to listen to them. Maybe you’ve heard Lookin Out My Back Door on Tv?
I used to hang out with John Fogerty's daughter back when we were in high school. She went to Presentation high school in Berkeley back in 84 and I went to Salesians. I use to go to her house and party back in the day, the good old times. Also I am a black man so it's funny your just discovering Creedence Clearwater.
Fortunate Son, Susie Q, Heard it Through thr Grapevine, Run Through the Jungle, Midnight Special, Green River, Have you ever seen the Rain, I put a Spell on You, and Centerfield as a solo artist John Fogarty. Just a great band.
One of the Greatest radio play Classic Rock bands ever !!! 👍 A Ton of Monster Hits in the early days of Rock late 60s early 70s Great songwriters !! A must is checking out there Live show at Woodstock in 1969' is on Y-tube ✌🎶🎼
Stu Cook on bass, Tom Fogerty on rhythm guitar, Doug "Cosmo" Clifford on drums, and John Fogerty on lead guitar and vocals. A San Francisco Bay Area band, none of them had ever seen a bayou when they did this song.
The sound is called "Swamp Music," CCR. Also "Good Golly Miss Molly " by them is a great song!!!! John Forgerty is the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist.
Just another of the many sounds that came out the Bay Area in the 60s and 70s (your dad can probably name dozens more). I occasionally would run into one or two Fogertys jamming at one of my East Bay hangouts. When I moved to Tahoe, there was drummer Doug Clifford living down the road, putting together Credence Revisited with bassist Stu Cook, but the sound was not the same without that distinguishing Fogerty voice. I’m sure the other commenters can document the lawsuits and arguments that tore the original band apart.
Fortunate Son, is their greatest, and they're pretty much all great....a lesser known banger is, Sweet Hitchhiker! The Bayou County album was recorded in October of 1968, when John was only 23 years old!
Pot o' gumbo! Perfect!! Stu Cook was on bass. John Fogerty's voice is woven into the very fabric that IS America. CCR had an original-yet familiar- Americana type sound. Check out the documentary, "Travelin Band", narrated by Jeff Bridges. CCR's entire concert at The Royal Albert Hall during their 1st European tour in 1970 is shown for the 1st time ever. It's so good!
One of the great legend bands so much great music a young gentleman taking RU-vid by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍.
There’s so many good songs by CCR, sung by John Fogerty. Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, Green River, the list goes on and on, and joy your trip down CCR Lane!
One other thing, they were actually from California but John brought a nice swamp vibe to their sound. If you dig that kind of thing check the real Louisiana Swamp Fox, Mr Tony Joe White who wrote Polk Salad Annie, Rainy Night in Georgia, the beautiful Willie and Laura Mae Jones, Woman with Soul, Aspen Colorado, Roosevelt and Ira Lee, Funky Fingers......
Another great reaction... thank you for playing the real version and not the cut-down "radio" version. CCR was in that era of "3-minute" radio songs. They have SO many hits, it's quite unbelievable.
When I was 15 I heard this in a record store and bought the album ($2.99) Just based on hearing this great song. Great stuff still! Keep it up I love your reactions. A suggestion: Kenny Wayne Shepherd- “Aberdeen”
