Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born on the Bayou (REACTION!) 

Fogerty being from California, singing Louisiana swamp music, with a Jersey accent may be the greatest thing life has ever offered to us as a species.

My favorite CCR song. Absolutely a masterpiece.

It's unbelievable to think they put out so many bangers in essentially just 4 years!!

What I love about this song is ... Patience. They ride the groove and they let it shine and they wait to drop the next verse.

In the 1970s you couldn't go to a bar without hearing CCR on the jukebox. Loved by all. ❤

What this band accomplished in a mere three years is absolutely mind blowing.

CCR is great. Pick almost any song from them and you will enjoy it. One of my favorites is Green River.

Song is from 1969.... My favorite band from High School, 1968 to 1972.......

Hey guys, I'm a drummer from New Orleans, LA, and the bands I've played in who covered this song would always get into such a smooth, blues groove with this one. We could just rock it and stay in such a sweet pocket that it was always a crowd pleaser down here.

As a Cuban-American from Miami, you guys are on the money about Al in Scarface! Dude is so on point, he was more Cuban than some actual Cubans I know 😂 Great channel! Love your content and always enjoy your interpretations of my classic rock favorites.

One of the greatest songs ever written.

CCR is one of the greatest bands, for sure! they have such a unique groove and are so soulful. so happy you did this song.

Run Through the Jungle I Put a Spell on You Long As I Can See the Light Are all bangers. ❤️

I'm so happy right now. CCR is so underrated IMO. John's voice cuts right through you like knife. Instantly recognizable. You can't help but crank them up. And they broke up long before I was born. But great music is great music. Whoo-hoo! Thanks, G & R! ✌️❤️😊🎶

Credence is life. Ramble Tramble is a pure psychedelic bayou banger 🔥

Haha yes! I was just listening to them a few days ago. My mom listened to them when I was growing up. Good stuff!

Love it. “Put a Candle in The Window” is another great one by them… bluesy, emotional, stretched out his voice at the end

My opinion....not many bands that our more badass then CCR. The content they put out in a short time... amazing. Check out John Forgery's Centerfield from the 80s.

This song just drips the best things about the South.

You guy are just too friggin awesome the stuff that you review. Rock on!

70s is one of my favorite era's of music. I was a teenager in the mid/late 90s, and so much of 90s music is sampled from 70s songs. When I noticed the connection I was hooked. Got into Funk, Soul, Blues... all of it. I got mocked mercilessly when I tried to tell all my teenage friends that all the Gangsta Rap we loved came from 70s Funk and Soul. I didn't care that much. If it's good, it's good. The only music I had a prejudice against was Country, but that got cured in the Marine Corps. That 'Outlaw Country' from the 70s is fantastic too. Just a phenomenal decade for music.

CCR was a college band touring around, but that was back in the seventies. They were that sort of underground sound that became mainstream. Fogerty also wrote 'Proud Mary' during a short time working on a river boat, so the lyrics are a true story funny enough.

It's impossible not to like Creedence!!

Off their debut album CCR did a cover of "I Put a Spell On You" and I think it embodies their signature sound. You are correct when you say they had to immerse themselves in the music. They had a high school band and in their earliest recordings you can hear that they were searching for something because they were all over the place. Then for a real jam they did a cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" that is 11 minutes long. Great music!

Suzie Q is my fav song....grew up on a pool table my pops had a Meucci Que and he named it "Susie Q" I was always told when that was playing you don't play him but I love your fellas reactions.....love the energy and the honest opinion not matter what the subject is .....but Suzie Q and Bad Moon Rising and Heard from the grapevine is executed to perfection......Suzie Q

I was 11 my father was listening to this ! I fell l In love with It and all there songs 😄

This song was used as the closing credits for the 1993 action-thriller film, Hard Target with Jean-Claude Van Damme. That was the first time that I heard this song.

Heard Creedence for the first time in the summer of 68. I was in my high school locker room during two a day football practices in the middle of a hot August. Our all-county linebacker from Alabama, cranked up "Suzi Q", which was Creedence's first hit. It blew me away. A pure 20-minute jam. Not the usual 4-minute pop song on the radio. Anyone who went to Vietnam will tell you that this was the favorite band of the grunts. It broke my heart when they broke up around 69. After 30 something years of litigation over song rights, and BS, John Fogarty won in court his right to play the music he wrote, played lead guitar, mixed, and produced. Oh yeah, and he was the lead singer too! I finally got to see Fogarty at a casino in New Mexico. He did not disappoint!

First time here and thank you for a great video! Being a oilfield boat mate running offshore supply boats in Louisiana this song brings back so many memories of the Gulf of Mexico. Fighting 20 foot seas to the sea of glass which the Gulf of Mexico can bring to you what better sound to hear than CCR and Born on The Bayou. Also a good feeling coming into the Mississippi River at Southwest Pass heading to Venice La to dock to offload and reload oilfield equipment, fuel and potable water for the rig waiting for the weather to calm down this is the song to bring those memories back. I had this life for over 20 years and I thank God for giving me the ability to run these boats. Thanks again and take care!

John Fogerty was the king of catch phrasing, whether with words or guitar playing all his guitar hooks.

My dad was born on the bayou. In a little white wood frame house with a tin roof in 1917. Right on Bayou Liberty, Louisiana.

A note of interest..John Fogarty was in the army where he met several guys from Louisiana..who where just some good ole patriotic Southern country boys. John fell in love with there manurisims and language and sayings..like "I was more lost as a ball in tall weeds"..things like that. So he studied them and hung out with them..they made an impression on him and on his heart..and helped him shape CCR's musical direction..just fyi.

You guys kill me! Love this!!! ❤

One of my first 8 track tapes in 71.. lol.. my 1st concert KISS 78.. 🤘🏽

You can loop this song and I'd be down with that.

Down on the corner with lyrics. I thought I knew the song my whole life, but a few years ago I listened with the lyrics and I was wrong the whole time. I like it even more now

This is the South Louisiana National Anthem. I grew up in S. LA, yes we spent the whole summer naked, swimming in the river, and most every body has a dog, and they bark late at night at shadows and "ghosts" from lights in the windows, or moonlight with all the trees and bushes (it's semi-tropical), and some call them hoodoos. When I was a kid I watch a "monster" outside, thru my window for hours, in my bed shivering, only to figure out it was a shadow from a tree, and a street light. The swamp plays tricks on your eyes at night.

I absolutely love CCR!!!!

Fogerty is a perfectionist, dedicated to music, with outsized talent.

Like your vibe. I just liked and subscribed to this channel... CCR is just pure good Ole 🎶 🎵... real feel good stuff. Great job guys

Long as I can see the light is the absolute best song. Definitely need to react to it!!!

Yes! Soul is internal...

Saw the song and my first thought was their gonna love it....30 seconds into it...Playlist!🤣

You two and me, makes three "Bobbleheads" while listening......1969, I was 14 and it was a good time for me.

Surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention their hit Susie Q. Fantastic guitar work

They don't have a bad song they are all bangers

CCR definitely has Blues roots. Check out their cover of the old Blues song "I Put A Spell On You". That's one of their greats. If you want to listen to the greatest Creedence song that most people are unaware of, check out "Sinister Purpose".

They sound just as good LIVE. There is a Netflix doc about them with a never released video of their concert in England.

I mean I don't know George, maybe Led Zeppelin don't sound as attached to the sound of blues as Allman brothers or CCR but ain't none of those bands could even come close to composing something like The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, No Quarter, In The Light, In my time of Dying, etc. Writing great songs >>> Having a more pure blues sound(whatever that means)

Favourite band of The Dude from The Big Lebowski

C.C.R. tunes; Porterville, Graveyard Train, Run through the Jungle. Tunes from the days of serving overseas, George Clinton's, Funkadelics; Maggot Brain. Eddie Hazel's guitar solo.

Any good rock n roll has a blues influence to it.

Great reaction, guys. Peace out.

Finally some good music again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man like the groove so much he had to put his coffee down.

CCR, the original "Southern Rock" band. BTW, a "who do there" is a mythical creature in the Bayou, kinda like a Big Foot.

Z.Z. Top is a good blues band. Just Got Back from Baby's and Jesus Just Left Chicago are great examples of their blus sound.

Saw them in 69, one of the few acts I saw that sounded as good live as in studio. Great band. Fogarty is a legend.

Down on the corner is one of their most down home song's from Willie and the poor boy's. Love that.

Grew up on CCR as a kid in the 70s. We were still jamming to them in the 80s when we bought our first beater cars and would scream the "alternate" lyric BORN TO SPEED BY YOU while breaking every traffic law known. Good times, good times 🤣

A great video of them doing this live at Woodstock, at about 3am.

I thing this was also the opening song, in the movie, born on the fourth of July. Vietnam war movie. Run through the jungle was also in a Vietnam movie.

Pagan Baby by CCR is an underrated stomper

ERRA - House of Glass, Nigh to Silence, Snowblood

If you think this a jam session, you should hear their 11- minute version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"!

CCR was a mix of Country, Blues, and Southern Rock.

I put a spell on you. It’s amazing!!! Must listen.

"Looking out my back door" is their best.

The instantaneous playlist got me like😂

John Fogerty, in general, is amazing

I heard you guys says "I think this was in a movie" it was, it was in the beginning of the waterboy, when he's driving his lawnmower home to the swamp lol (I know you've both seen that movie)

I jam CCR when I cruise the bayou

Love the Raiders hats!😎👍

Lodi. If you have not done Lodi, you need to. Incredible songwriting. CCR had four stone classics. Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary, Green River, and Lodi. Good as it gets.

Night time is the right time for a reaction

ElCerrito is right next to Richmond Ca which everyone knows is. A tough town in the Bay and during the time just before that had a Huge influx of Southern Black folks pouring into the Bay Area because of the Jobs. Their sounds is southern but definitely with a Bay Area twist. The Bay and the south have had a connection for a long time now. I’m sure LA has similar stories as well. Tower of power and Ike Turner also from the bay during this time too. CCR is a beast!

Foo fighters covered this song on the Hurricane Katrina benefit.....absolutely rocked it. Peace from Pennsylvania ✌

Tom Fogerty’s son is my good friend. One of the best Bay Area bands ever!

CCR was from California, but they were great at the swamp rock style.

Fogerty might have been born in California, but he found his heart on the bayou.

I don't think I have ever met anyone in 50 years who didn't like CCR. "Travellin' Band" is a blast. If you like Pacino, I recommend "Carlito's Way"

Now, wait minute! If you listen to “Since I’ve Been Living You” by Led Zeppelin (particularly the live version), you’re gonna hear about as much soul as anybody! This is just about my favorite CCR jam….and yes, that’s John (pronounced FOE-gurr-tee)

Love the video guys! Still blows my my mind that you never reacted to Freebird. Probably because you’ve heard it before ?

CCR’s best quality is that they take their time. Just like the bayou. Absolutely no rushing. They got ALL DAY just to develop a feel and vibe.

Maybe CCR were chillin with Buddy Miles in the late '60s? ha ha

I once heard a guy on the radio comment that he thought The Allman Brothers created the genre of Southern Rock, but I thought his argument lacked Creedence.

Captain Beefheart - Electricity! Captain did the raunchiest rhythm n blues!

Every CCR song is pretty much playlist

You should check out their version of "I put a spell on you"

I think CCR would appreciate how y'all broke down this song. Very insightful analysis!

The "Blues" just means sad music. It's a style sure, but every culture has their "blues" and can sing it.

I recommend "Long as I Can See The Light". I can't resist singing along with any CCR song!! 😎😎🌴🌴🐊🐊

Long as I can see the light.

The best

You should review actor and musician Hugh Laurie. An english actor who nails an american accent and is also an accomplished blues singer.

REACT TO " OBITUARY - BLINDSIDED " PLEASEEEEEEEEEE 🙏😭 Yall are going to enjoy it ALOT heavy & groovy.

You’ve only scratched the surface. Marathon Material: I Put A Spell On You Suzie Q Green River Lodi Down On The Corner Lookin’ Out My Backdoor Run Through The Jungle I Heard It Through The Grapevine Long As I Can See The Light

I have a suggestion! Old school, bluesy Grateful Dead, with the original singer "Pigpen". Easy Wind, Good Lovin, or Mr. Charlie were good songs.

The long version of heard it thru the grapevine

I would love to hear you guys cover Centerfield by John Fogerty.
