Southern Rock, there isn't a section at the record store as swamp rock. When your talking about the Louisiana swamps, it has a feel to it, like if you hear traffic you think city, and you can describe some Southern Rock as swamp rock, swampy feel, whatever. But the genre is Southern Rock, all the way from Cali!

John Fogerty’s voice is a backwoods howl.

JTK !!! U R Sooo Correct ?? CCR Is One Of The Greatest Bands Of Alll Time !!!! No Doubt About That !! I’ve Been Listening To This Band Since The Late 60’s

I remember a journalist said once that John Fogerty's voice could startle a werewolf...

This song is like an old friend …. When I hear it I CRANK IT UP !!!! Lol

You can’t confuse John’s voice or guitar playing with anyone else. My parents took me to Woodstock when I was 12. They didn’t even get on stage until after midnight. I was one of a few people still awake. I was so miserable..cold, wet and covered in mud. Playing with a few other kids was fun and made the time go by faster. Looking back I feel so lucky to have been there. It’s something I will never forget.

Hell Yeah Brother..! That was History you experienced

CCR is famous for their legendary "swamp boogie" soundscape. But what makes their sound so amazing is that no one from the band is from the bayou or even the south! All four of them are from northern California. The vibe is a complete fabrication and one of the greatest creative feats in classic rock. Combined with their songwriting and performace chops, they are quite possibly the best American rock band of all time.

I grew up in a small town near Tahoe. In the 90's I worked as a life guard at the local pool and in the summer one of the school teachers worked there too as a life guard for extra money. I loved CCR (still do) and had it playing one day on the pool speakers. This teacher told me he and his friends in the 70's would go and watch CCR all the time in the bay area before they got famous. Back then, no internet, I thought he was totally full of shit. So I went and researched it and found that CCR was from San Francisco and not Louisiana blew my head apart.

Good ole swamp rock! We love it here in Texas.

My favorite CCR groove! It's so cool! 💕🎸🎼✌️

Woodstock took place in 1969 over a 3-day period, and featured 32 bands/performers including, amongst others: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, CCR, Arlo Guthrie, Santana, Joan Baez, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Blood, Sweat and Tears... With this level of talent all in one place, no one was billed as the headliner.

Seen Fogerty twice as a standalone act. First time in mid 2000s, and second time just pre-pandemic. They guy still rocks it like a badass. What an icon.

Swamp groove verified!! One of my all-time favorites.

BJ - You were really rockin' out to their unique sound! Hard to sit still when any CCR song comes on!

It's an amazing sound that they created, they were actually from El Cerrito, CA in the East Bay from SF.

Some songs just never get old. Guess what… this is one of them.

Funky as SHHHHH every time I hear this it get funkier! JF vocals just captivating.

"Cotton Fields" is a traditional American folk song from the southern states and CCR does it right! Really terrific harmonies. "When I was an itty bitty baby my mama would rock me in the cradle in them old cotton fields back home!" We used to sing that in grade 7 and 8 music classes, and did we ever love it back in 1971 and 72! You two need to pick up a copy of John Fogerty in concert in LA in his 2005 DVD called "The Long Road Home." He finally was persuaded to let it fly with all his CCR hits and this concert is FUN with a capital F from one end to the other!

Traditional is right! Wow

Such a great band.

Never had a bad tune! This one was my favorite, being from Louisiana. But CCR is like the Eagles, as each and every song had a groove that called out through a tales from the crypt type vibe!

So full of soul. 🦞

There are two California bands that IMO are "the most southern bands from outside the south": Credence Clearwater Revival, and Little Feat. I have no idea how they got that swampy and funky all the way out there on the West Coast, but they sound like they were born and bred here. Whatever is the southern equivalent of "an invite to the cookout," they both earned one.

When these CCR songs played in clubs, the dance floors were packed and people were just sweating by the end of their songs. Their songs made us feel alive and wanting to show we felt.

"I Put a Spell on You" is amazing, gotta give that one a shot for sure.

I love your reviews. I think this is one of the best blues rock songs ever written.

So glad you guys are giving CCR some love guys, awesome band! "Green river" and "Run through the jungle" are also great ones.

Excellent tune,great reactions.

The CCR catalog is a must listen 😎🎸

Hi guys, so glad you enjoyed this song, CCR is such a great vibe. Other really good suggestions from them are "Green River", Midnight Special" "Proud Mary" and "Lookin' Out My Backdoor". And thank you for the time you put into these videos.

You chose en epic and very powerful song which is my personal favourite of CCR's songs. I love both Fogerty's voice and especially his guitar work. Even if you wouldn't react to another CCR song I recommend you listening to both Cotton Fields and Someday Never Comes. These 3 tracks are my top favourites of CCR.

Old school! Bad Moon Rising is my favorite from them. Definitely a Halloween jam with no peanut butter. Btw, Asia Kitboga made an animated TV special. Please react to it on your channel. Thanks!

You guys are killin it with this great music! Thank you!

If you like "swamp rock," have you listened to Tony Joe White? He passed away a few years ago but during his career he put together a huge body of great music. Probably best known for "Polk Salad Annie" and "Rainy Night in Georgia." There's a video version of TJW with Johnny Cash too. Check him out - you might like what you hear. Thanks as always for another great reaction!

I've got to agree with another commenter and put in my vote for you guys to check out their song "Heard It Through The Grapevine" (the full version). CCR are the real deal!

CCR was one helluva group.Many,many great songs

dam I love this song! My fav CCR tune. For another smokin hot fun song, "Ramble, Tamble". That's a jubilee shuffle song with some amazing energy. Parts of the song are played to a polka beat.

Recently their label released a CD with their Woodstock performance. At that time (1969), Fogerty rejected it because he thought their performance wasn't up to his standards. When you hear the performance, you have to disagree with him.

I absolutely LOVE both of you! I forgot this song and how much I love it! I want to thank you for your reactions, your videos are helping me build and update my playlists. Keep it going! You guys are GREAT! 👍

John Fogerty has mentioned in interviews that his mom connected him with the music that inspired his career. A Stephen Foster children's record she gave him when he was three. She also listened to the music that was brought to California from the South during the depression and from Oklahoma during the dust bowl years.

CCR will always be my one my all time favorite bands! I can name some many. My mom and dad were so fortunately to grow up through some of best decades of music. My dad was born in 1935 and saw some shit. My mom was born in 1944 and would ever day after school(she went to an all girls Catholic school back than) she would would walk past America Bandstand as both my parents grew up in Philly. Dad from North Philly and Mom grew up in West Philly.

Man, Asia is beautiful, and has a beautiful smile. CCR is is such a great band. "Centerfield" is amazing.

10:02 Yeah I agree. They helped define the Southern Rock genre. Along with other legendary bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, etc... You could make a case for many bands being in that genre like ZZ Top, BLS, Kid Rock, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, etc. But they are more on the outskirts. CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd top the list for me but others include: Black Oak Arkansas, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers, Outlaws, Blackberry Smoke and more. The influence of Southern Rock stretches out to many, even on the harder side like Corrosion of Conformity.

Takes me back. 60's were great. CCR was the most popular music where I lived. AFL,NFL, ABA, NBA....walking down to the little candy store by my house with my sister.

MUST do the 11 minute studio version of "Heard it Through the Grapevine " So transcendental, it feels more like 3-4 minutes of awesomeness.

You can't go wrong with CCR. Every tune a winner!

That is soul American Rock classic rock the bed rock of America - I am from New Zealand and this what drives us to visit America.

BJ killed this one! Feelin that Bayou through John!

CCR cranked out a string of iconic hits in the early sixties and seventies that defined the era. That distinctive down home Southern Rock sound along with Fogerty’s vocals made them one of a kind that you just couldn’t get enough of every time they played. You really need to listen to some of John Fogerty’s solo and later music. Try “Old Man Down the Road” or “Vantz Can’t Dance” for updated but classic Fogerty.

They say his voice and the sound takes you back to Louisiana. If you can relate to it and get the sound and the feeling just right you do feel like you’re somewhere else. They’re from El Cerrito, CA and this song was recorded in LA. Cool.

Probably Credence's most popular song. These guys are from Northern California, outside San Fransico, so they are not from the south as a lot of people assume. Great song with some funk to it. Credence started back in 1968. One of the all-time great "Classic Rock" era Bands.

You got it right BJ. They are Californians. I recently purchased that albums and the hits collection on vinyl. Love this song.

Great tune! There's a couple other great ones off their 2nd album, "Graveyard Train" & "Penthouse Pauper". Y'all prolly won't get many requests for these 2 as they're not on the greatest hits album and that's all that seems to be requested by most, but definitely worth a listen..Keep Rollin🤘🏼

I think you should do Green River next, great song, "Barefoot girl, dancin in the moonlight ..."

So right, B.J...a fella from Calif. doin' the kind of sound that screams good-time southern rock?? Fogerty had what every great songwriter needs..Great Imagination.

Green River is another great swamp rock song by them.

John Fogerty, king of Southern rock....pride of El Cerrito, California. A true artist can capture any vibe.

Seriously, try “I Put A Spell On A” Fogarty spittin them lyrics

It sounds like home to me. Our only rule was to be back by dinner time. We could wander a very large area climbing small hills and swinging on grapevines. My mom taught us that. It's fun until it's not.

Love the Reverb in these great tunes.

I was about 15 when this song first come out and was hooked from the first few bars. There was just something magical about CCR! I mean even aside from John's voice. The songs were all really pretty simple but somehow the way all the parts fit together was perfection! Ironically I think it was the ever so slight imperfections that make it "perfect". Now days most music is locked to a rigid mechanical grid and the different parts are added one at a time and polished and edited to perfection. What gives this tune (and a lot of the music of the 60's) that incredible vibe, FEEL and groove is it's essentially a recording of a jam session with all of them playing together at the same time.

Growing up I thought that John Fogerty, the singer, songwriter, main guitarist of CCR was from the south, but he isn't. He's from California. Can't figure it. Green River and Midnight Special should be your next CCR songs to react to.

Best swamp song by a band from the San Francisco area.A tasty one is Run through the jungle.You want some serious southern?Tony Joe Whites "Polk Salad Annie"

Brings me way back in time, riding in my daddy’s candy apple red ‘76 Bronco with the top down. We lived on an East Texas bayou and Daddy loved CCR ✌🏻

Believe it or leave it. These guys are from Northern California. I thought they were from the South for years (we didn't have the interwebs). Soul, grit, and truth. John Fogerty is a brilliant song writer, singer, and arranger. Timeless sound and feel. Sadly another victim of soul crushing record companies and bad contracts. They couldn't perform live under their own name and didn't really get paid until just a few years ago. They've been a staple in my music library since 1968.

Don't know how CCR got the southern rock 'n' roll sound down so well -- the band was from California, just northeast of San Francisco! They rolled on that southern river all the way to the top of the charts.

This is 🔥 !!! Awesome reaction Asia and BJ

CCR!!! Fantastic and a lot of greats in only a year.

Great review of an iconic band and singer, John Fogerty!!! Legends!

CCR, grew up listening to them on the radio, another great band of my generation.

"ramble ramble" is another great song by CCR. Definitely worth a listen

They were the greatest garage band of all time.

I alternate lead and rhythm in a ccr cover band (not officially a ccr cover band but it feels like it due to being requested so much) so i'm loving these reactions.

Long as I can see the light by them is a great one.

One of the BEST songs ever recorded! Glad you like it! Great channel, guys! As far as Woodstock goes, John Fogerty, surprisingly, felt that CCR's performance was not good enough to be documented. That is why they are not on the film. 🎸👍
