John Fogerty once said that during the whole CCR period, he had never been to the Mississippi Delta, and had only been to New Orleans to play gigs, ie. land at the airport, drive to the hotel, rest, drive to the gig, play the gig, drive back to the hotel, sleep, drive to the airport to catch the plane to the next gig. He didn't actually explore the region for himself until decades later.

Well, I haven’t heard a bad song yet and I’m in my 60’s. If the songwriting isn’t there, you don’t have much. In other words, John Fogerty is hands down one of the greatest singer/songwriter/musicians in our lifetime.

A musician friend of mine was familiar with the Ike and Tina Turner version of Proud Mary, but had not heard the original by CCR. When he heard it, he was appalled, and "that's barely competent!" So...not EVERYONE likes CCR.

What a jam

I had this 45 RPM back in the day and Looking Out My Backdoor was on the other side.

Remember that this is a song that's fiftytwo years old. A true and timeless classic !

CCR became the Band of the Bayou because of their sound and style when in reality they are from El Cerrito just outside San Francisco.. I first heard them in 1969 and Up and Around the bend was my absolute favourite from this band... Nice lex...

Those of us in S.Vietnam thought the world of CCR. The sun rose and set with a song from CCR. They were real popular in Japan early 70s.

One of my favorites, captures the spirit of the day perfectly. Always puts me in mind of the mountains of East Tennessee in the 70s.

This is a great song about what lies ahead and being excited to find out.

Gonna have to bookmark this for when I need cheering up, watching Lex bop along is too much fun!

This song was one of the single releases from the "Cosmo's Factory" album, and led to that album being the very first LP I ever bought, shortly after receiving a record player for Christmas from my parents. By the time "Pendulum" (their next album) came out, I had all but the first two CCR albums in the beginning of my vinyl collection. CCR was the first band I ever collected and still a favorite. The fiasco of the "Mardi Gras" was a sad day, it's too bad egos had to get in the way and destroy an excellent band. I think history has made it rather obvious where the song writing talent in the band truly was.

Ha!!! Hey, Lex. Welcome to the club. Many, many millions of us have loved CCR for years. 💖

Lex and I would get along famously. CCR is a lifetime favorite.

Was lucky enough to see John Fogerty in 2019 at the Bourbon and Beyond Festival in Louisville, Ky. He was one of the best acts of the weekend which included Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, Hall and Oates Joan Jett, just to name a few. Even my 17 year old son was impressed.

lex is a trip. it's fun watching brad's reactions to her lol.

I've loved this song since I was a child, back in the mid 70s.

That brought back memories when I was a kid. I remember this song when we would hang out at summer recreation.

CCR is the greatest American band of all time. It's not even close.

Brad and Lex thank u for all the smiles and laughs u give me daily much 💕 u r awesome beautiful people

Creedence are simply awesome. Great song after great song.

all lyric videos should be like this. it gives you the lyric a split second before so you have time to process and sing along.

He spent years living in my little Canadian town. Few knew he was here. Those who did... were really happy to have him and he wrote a few songs here too for his solo career.

When I was a kid in the 70s, my family would go camping by the river. Not just our family, but a group of friends and their families. We had a little community for a few days. The campsites were just beyond a bend in the road. So this was always my "going camping" song.

I love your reactions to one of THE best bands of the 70s, where the music was the best ever, love 'em, especially Fogerty's voice.

Your joy makes me happy. THANK.YOU.

My favorite CCR song. An up tempo banger. Great road trip song.

Have you done "It came out of the sky" yet. Doesn't take much imagination to picture Lex's reaction.

From the great Cosmo’s Factory album. My favorite CCR song is “Ramble Tamble”.

So many nice little turns of phrase in this. It's basically folk poetry. I love it.

John Fogerty..Center field..Rock and Roll Girls

Nothing gets Lex to her happy place quicker than a CCR rocker. Cheers!

Ccr 🖤

CCR has a gazillion hits. Absolutely legendary band!

Another classic by CCR, one of those bands that just has so many.

Anywhere, anytime, any mood I'm in... CCR always sounds great. Even Brad was bopping to this one!

CCR, like Three Dog Night, got so much air play back in the day that I tended to take them for granted. They really were original and among the best bands of that era. You should checkout John Fogerty’s solo career starting with Center Field.

Lex you bring a smile to my face when you listen to classic rock!!!!!!!!

Great CCR choice.. One overlooked gem from John Fogerty's first solo album is titled "Rockin' All Over the World", an awesome tune, but was just a minor hit for him.. worth checking out, though. Thanks.

I met John back stage at the Wembley Arena Concert in London. They say you should never meet your hero's well John was fantastic. So gracious and humble he made me feel like I was the most import person there. We chatted till it was time for John to go on stage. My ticket was a long way from the stage but his brother Bob took me to a balcony nearly over looking the stage.A night I will never forget, oh and the concert was awesome 2 hours of wonderful music.I got hooked on CCR back in 1969 and play their music and John's solo work most days.

You guys should react to more Creedence Clearwater Revival… "Susie Q", "Run Through the Jungle", "Sweet Hitch Hiker", "Someday Never Comes", "Hey Tonight", "Commotion", "Long As I Can See The Light" 🎸🤘

Bring back the 70s great bands great times great songs ,nothing compares these days

goosebumps, chills. smiles and more - always with CCR !!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You totally made my day with this one ! Thank you !

“and we’ll meet by the big red tree”. Love that line and can just picture it at the end of the highway up and around the bend! Reminds me of the earlier 70’s college days, where we’d all meet at a place out in the country on the Illinois river in Oklahoma called “No Head Hollow”! So we had a saying “No Head Hollow, bring a Dollar”, which would pay for smoke, hotdogs, buns and mustard and you’d bring your own beer!

Finally happy music that's what we need right now

I'm with Lex. CCR can do no wrong. I love every song, every note, and every beat.

I remember hearing CCR when on the radio when I was about 5 years old (I’m 58 now) and was a fan from that time on. Got to see John Fogarty when he toured Australia about 10 years ago, it was such a great concert. Love your reactions. 👍

The Midnight Special is a great CCR song...probably my favorite from their many great ones

Been listening to CCR since 1970. I never get sick of their music and I love every song . They call it Swamp Rock but the band were from California. John just did it so well.

I remember being at my cousins' house the first time I heard this! He was about 5 yrs. older than me and he had this on 45. He put it on the record player and the rest is history! Not long after it came out! Great reaction y'all!

I'd love for Brad and Lex to react to one of CCR's more deeply philosophical songs, like "Someday Never Comes", "It's Just a Thought", and "Wrote a Song for Everyone". I love all their light-hearted, joyful, exuberance, but their deeper songs are just as good and hit in a different way. Please request and vote for these songs during live broadcasts so Brad and Lex can hear and react to them.

I get the feeling that Lex may love Metallica and Led Zeppelin, but CCR is her spirit animal. 🐺

Excellent, as always. What a great song! It was definitely a "turn it up LOUD" song when it came on the car radio. Hope all is well.

I'm the same. There's a lot of bands I got tired of hearing so much growing up but this is not one of them. And as I get older I see even more musical complexity within the simple containers of their songs and I really appreciate the message of their songs even more. There aren't very many love songs in there. Most bands are about 95% love songs in 5% something else they are the opposite. They make it interesting. I've covered some of their bands live in bands that I've played in. But I beg and implore you guys to check out anyone or all three of these songs that I never see anyone react to and yet they were still hits for Creedence and they are fantastic songs. You will see a side of John Fogerty's voice and the band like you've never seen before. Wish I could hide away, long as I can see the light, it came out of the sky. And of course so many more.

Back when I got my license it wasn't long before I had a totally hopped up black 69 Nova SS with the loudest sound system I could put in. CCR & Badfinger was always blaring from that car. Good memories!

My older brother loved CCR in their hey day. He used to torture us other 5 of our parents kids with his CCR and other records(little wax discs which played music when they revolved) . Like all big brothers, he was a pain in the "£$!*, and we didn't get on. We're all in our 60's now, and I've listened to CCR of my own choice, and actually have a few of their songs in my guitar playing list when I practice. My older brother and I have learned to tolerate each other as well.🤣

I grew up hearing my older brother playing these guys on his 8-track tape player until the tapes wore out. I can still hear dad asking/telling him to turn it down. Then he got a tape deck (as they were called) in his '70 Ford Maverick and all bets were off.
