Your comparison of John Fogerty’s vocals to soul food “biscuits with extra butter and gravy smothered pork chops” is the best ever description I’ve ever heard. I’m keeping that one! I’ve been listening to that song for over 50 years and I love it just as much now as I did then.

Just like a gemstone there are many facets to Rock so you can still have Led Zeppelin as your favorite Classic Rock and CCR as your favorite Swamp Rock

Your description about his voice is spot on. John Fogerty one of a kind. Fine nostalgia man!

Love me some Born On The Bayou! Takes me back to my youth!

John Fogerty not only was the lead singer he also was the lead guitarist and founder of CCR. His brother Tom Fogerty played guitar in the band and passed away in 1990. So glad you have discovered this iconic band. Your channel always takes me back to great memories.

‘The Man’ in this case refers to the law. Many CcR songs have anti-war themes but this one is really just about simple swamp life and distrust of the authorities. The impressive thing is that they were from Northern California, nowhere near Louisiana.

Fogerty says he developed his unique singing style working in small clubs with inadequate sound systems. He had to practically scream to be heard.

HELLO I TURNED 60 YESTERDAY I LOVE TO WATCH YOU YOUNGER GUYS HEARING MUSIC I GROW UP ON, .CCR GOT TO LOVE IT. BAD MOON RISING ,

"Born on the Bayou" has been used on the TV series Swamp People about alligator hunting in the Louisiana bayous.

this song takes me to the creeks and small bridges in the bayou, gators and hot humid days. I feel like fishing...

Bestest intro ever into a song..............

One of the best songs ever written.

Once again the 60s and 70s where the great music was.

Great reaction. 1969 man. Groovin. Fogerty, who is from the very unswamplike Berkeley, California, got his first look at a bayou courtesy of John Fred, the one-hit wonder who sang "Judy In Disguise (with Glasses)." Fred was from Louisiana, and when Creedence played a show in Baton Rouge in 1969, he met Fogerty at a rehearsal and offered to take him to a real bayou. They drove 15 minutes to Bayou Forche, where they ate some crabs and crayfish, giving Fogerty the idea for this song.

I was 12 when I discovered CCR I loved them then and now at 63. I'm still rockin. Lol Thanks 😊

CCR was the "next generation" to the psychedelic sound of the late 60's. They cranked out albums effortlessly, playing righteous music was like breathing to them. Back in the day you'd always hear CCR music at parties and on the radio. Their music is timeless, sounds as good today as it did then. Their music was unique but they weren't originators. J C Fogarty's role model was Little Richard. Check out Lookin' Out My Back Door, very down homey, and Up Around the Bend. ANYTHING by them is worth a listen

This song has been in a lot of movies...I specifically remember this song in "Born on the 4th of July" with Tom Cruise. Great movie!

He's not saying 'don't let a man get ya' - he's saying don't let The Man (governmental types) get ya. That line is what caused this song to be used for so many war era films. Fortunate Son is a similar theme.

"Keep on Chooglin". There is a live extended version that you'll like.

Too many Vietnam war movies to name them, Water-boy (Adam Sandler). It's been the background for too many shows over the years that feature some kind of swampland...especially a Louisiana bayou. "Run through the jungle" is my favorite CCR. That thick Casun is kind of rhythmic by nature.

My favorite CCR is “midnight special” and “someday never comes” both songs have great meaning and the vocals are awesome.

Another CCR hit-it-out-of-the-park gem.

Hoodoo & haint...deep South ghost references. And this song was featured in the Tom Cruise movie, "Born On the Fourth of July"..a true story about a Vietnam vet. "Green River" should be your next CCR song..it's got some funk in it too. And great atmosphere, like this one. Btw, "Born On the Bayou" & "Green River" came out when I was in high school. Big dances were held every weekend at a local sports arena (or the National Guard Armory). When either of those songs was played EVERYONE hit the dance floor. I'm sure all over the country we were all dancing our little asses off. The Funky Chicken was in vogue at the time. Lmao!💙😉🐓

Back in the day we could set singers and bands apart because they were all unique. I was born in 1950.

If you liked "Born on the Bayou", you'll like "Suzy Q" (Long version only) just as much. Those two songs may be CCR's best, and that's hard to say because Credence has a ton of great songs from the 60s and 70s.

Brilliant reaction....CCR has always been very special to me.Even my classical music loving Dad loved them! I saw John Fogerty several times long after CCR broke up. His voice and guitar were exactly the same. Like the man never aged a day. Thank you soo much!

CCR is the soundtrack of my youth. Great pick!

Led Zeppelin and CCR are both masters of their craft and their own unique music.

This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. It has a great sound. I think it is funny, I closed my eyes and just listened, bobbing and swaying my head to the rhythm, when I took a moment to look up you were doing the exact same thing that I was.

This was one of my west coast anthems ~~~~ late sixties!!!!!!!!!!!! It echo'd everywhere

Long As I Can See The Light is one of my favorites and I am pretty sure you will enjoy it too. Been a fan of CCR for 52 years now. Watching your reactions Van make the song more fun.

I'm 65 and I was listening to CCR back in the early 70s. I just subscribe to your channel and I love to watch your reaction to these old songs especially when you listen to Heard It Through The Grapevine and you thought Ike Turner wrote it! Your reaction was great!

The leas singer John Fogarty still does live concerts. He really doesn't go under CCR, but since he wrote most all their songs he does do them all in concert. Go and react to John Fogerty.

One of the very best to do it. 💥

🤩❤Born on the Bayou .. is 🔥🔥.. My #1 CCR fave, with their "Suzie Q" right after as my #2 ... Will always remind me of back in the day when I was 4 years old and my older cousins Chris n Ricki used to sing Suzie Q to me then scare the crap out of me with ski mask on. 🤨

CCR is just so consistently good.

I put a spell on you is a must!!

Born in 79 brother. Thanksgiving day. Bothered my Dads football game. R.I.P. Dad.

Buddy, my head is boppin right along with yours!! I never get tired of this song, timeless!!😊

Lived in New Orleans ( NAWLINS) for 2 decades. This funkalicious song was an ANTHEM. Hoodoo was a "spirit". "Ghost". Song is 🔥

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and love what you do. Keep up the amazing work!

Have not listening to this song in many years. Really enjoyed hearing it today.

The TV show supernatural uses a classic rock playlist 99% of the time. I can remember them using Bad Moon Rising at least twice and using Born on the Bayou once in Season 8 in Louisiana

Swamp rock... some of my favorite Southern Rock. You said it sounded Muggy, great descriptor! It takes you from the bayou to the jungles in Vietnam. Same gritty feeling.

He still sounds just as good now. He did one of those concerts while everyone was on covid lock down.

Born on the Bayou Proud Mary and Green River 🎶 Fogerty the master ✨

Chasing down a Hoodoo there.... Hoodoo is a magical, mystical, spiritual, non-defined apparition, like a ghost or a shadow, not necessarily evil, but certainly other-worldly

When it came on, on the radio, especially in the car..Everyone immediately STFU & started rocking! Lol… 😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

That lead-in is just enough time to get on the dance floor!

Greatest say no more!

Our musical tastes often change as we grow older and we end up not liking some bands as much as we did when we were younger. And then there are those that we love as much today as we did then and they sound just as fresh. CCR is one of those groups. Fifty years later and I can still sing along with all of their songs!

CCR was from Berkeley, CA...about 2,000 miles from the Bayou...but talent always takes you wherever you want to be.

oh Lawd, I LOVE the way you reacted to this! Sugar you got enough love in your heart and soul to love'em both as your favorites. :)

This song has been in a ton of movies! Almost every Vietnam War movie because it was popular when that was occurring. Any movie or TV show where they take you out to the swamps. It’s just a great song. Very descriptive and a great background atmosphere setter for any video. Btw a “Hoodoo” is a Southern version of a ghost or spirit.
