You have done a lot of songs by this awesome group. CCR has always been one of my favorites. John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. They don't have a bad song! Huge list of hits! "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Down On The Corner", "Green River", "The Midnight Special", "Susie Q", "Travelin' Band", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitchhiker" etc.

Yes,ALL the above but my own personal favourite isn’t there,Up Around The Bend. That opening screams at me to get lively,love it.

Fifty years down the road and they sound as fresh today as they did then.

One of the great things about CCR was that any decent bar band could learn their songs easily and pack the dance floor every night of the week. I was already a working musician and I remember that most musicians knew a whole catalog of CCR songs, so it was easy to interchange players. This helped make their songs become 'anthems.'

Punk did the same thing... got into the Ramones.. could play the entire catalog in a week. To learn CCR you needed to know the basics coming into it.... could pick up a guitar for the very first time and learn punk songs. 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' by the Stooges I learned 10 minutes after picking up a guitar for the first time.

You saying how easy it is to copy CCR music and it reminded me of something Keith Richards said recently about CCR that kind of threw me for a loop. He was tearing up a few bands like saying that Metallica and Black Sabbath was some of the worst music he has ever heard and if they took their style from him then he really fucked up. He also said that Creedence Clearwater were simple and boring. 😢. That's okay he's an old man. He has the right to say whatever he wants.

Nonsense, CCR was an anti-war and folk and rock band

I can't say everyone loves CCR, but they're as close to being universally enjoyed as any band. Also, best music to sing along to in your car.

I don't know anyone who doesn't like them. Kinda like the Doobie Brothers.

I'm usually hoarse after singing this one with my Bands over the years. I go nuts like Joplin! I remember as a 13 year old in 1968 thinking these boys were from Louisiana. When I found out they were NOCAL boys who invented this "Cajun Rock" I was totally amazed. Proves all of American Culture is for everybody no matter which State you are from!

"Keep on Chooglin" is one of the great CCR jams.

CCR is just an awesome band

They called it Swamp Rock.

Another awesome song with CCR's uniuque sound and voice. Love it.

The drums in this song are immaculate. The "chiming" guitar gives me goosebumps. Needless to say this is my favorite song, just barely ahead of "I Put A Spell On You", and " Heard It Through The Grapevine".

CCR was the first live concert I ever saw. Baton Rouge, 1971. One of my favorite groups to this day!

One of the best from one of the best

Brilliant song by a great band. Always sounds like it comes straight out of the Mississippi swamps, though surprisingly they were from California. Just as great now as when it came out.

My favorite CCR song by far!! Swamp music, you have to love it!!

"Born on the Bayou" is the soul of CCR as far as I'm concerned. It's what cemented that swamp rock sound for them. Try out "Penthouse Pauper" next. It's from the same album, and is awesome though less well known.

More Cowbell!!😁

“I Put a Spell on You” is a must listen!!!!! CCR’s version and of course the Queen supreme Miss Nina are the two best versions, IMHO. It’s crazy because they are originally from California!!!???

Some people can just channel in an other worldly way - glad they're out there.

No kidding.....

Their covers of I Put a Spell on You (Woodstock 1969) and Heard It Through The Grapevine (long version) are pure 🔥🔥🔥! ☮️❤️😎

The new Dodge Hornet commercial is using a CCR song called “ Up around the bend”

When I lived in NO we used drive way out in the sticks to listen to this album while kayaking thru the swamps, high af, gators everywhere, it...was...glorious.

Another great song by CCR. John Fogerty's voice has so much soul you can actually feel it.

"Green River," official video, by CCR!

When a song paints a picture. This is it

CCR was the first band that really caught my attention as a kid. I already had maybe a half dozen of their singles on 45's when I bought my first album, 1970's "Cosmo's Factory," and I still have it. I wouldn't learn till years later about all the internal politics and bad blood that led to their breakup, I remained a John Fogerty fan, and still am, having seen him in concert with ZZ Top about five years ago. He's still got it. They had an incredible string of hits in the late 60's, early 70's, and it still makes me sad the way things went down with the band.

Nobody does a review of " I Wrote A Song For Everyone" Powerful lyrics.

Add that one to the BBQ playlist!!

“I need more cowbell, LOL!” I think this may be their best one. They give you a perfect musical vision of bayou country. Who knew they were just a bunch of guys from Palo Alto?

Great review Biz CCR was a hit machine.

Living down the bayou in 1970, this was one of the few songs I could play on the jukebox that us young longhair and the old time Cajuns could enjoy. Penthouse pauper is an outstanding blues tune off of Bayou Country.

Not bad for a bunch of dudes raised in the San Francisco, Bay Area, Eastbay boys around the Oakland area making good swamp music

What an Incredible sound, their bade player is fabulous, i wish this groove was an hour long. Slightly haunting. 🎸👍😎

This is real swamp rock.

Love this band, love this song, just makes me think of Vietnam War movies.

That's not fun. Try thinking of the nature and freedom it expresses as well

That's one band that had their own sound lovem listening to them at the truck stop at 16

Second only behind Steely Dan as best American band,for me anyway. The Doors just behind them. Great great band. I was 16 in London when this dropped and it spoke to me,been a huge fan ever since.

Hey Biz, I think that's the coolest, most enjoyable reaction to that song that I've seen. What a song. What a band. Just great song after great song.

They’re just so good.

One of their deeper hits was "Graveyard Train" - perfect for Halloween. A story about a collision between a Greyhound Bus and a Train.

Cannot go wrong with CCR been listening to them for years❤

I saw these guys in Detroit in 69 this was their first song and a great show

I Put a Spell on You. My favorite. Love CCR. ❤

JOHN! Makin that GRETSCH SING BABY

Love CCR I remember going on camping trips with the whole gang and listening to them on an 8 track car system haha such fun times.🎉

It is John Fogerty because CCR is John Fogerty. Thanks for the fun!

GREEN RIVER BY C.C.R.🎸🎶

Plus when he was in basic training during the Vietnam war, he spent some time in the south. You can't forget about that plus California is a wild state if you've never been there. There's all kinds of nature to draw that will kick your ass. John Fogerty and his buddies and brother could draw on almost anything. They were tired of the boring music of the time so they did simple stuff to turn it on its head and they did this intricately. Check out someday never comes if you want to get your heart pulled out of your chest.

That's from my favorite CCR album, Bayou Country. Graveyard Train is my favorite song on it, but it's all great. All their music is.

Love CCR. ❤ I heard it through the grapevine is a another great hit. ✌️

This one of one of favorite CCR songs, great reaction btw👍🔥🔥

Ironically I'm not the biggest CCR fan but this song is amazing, one of my favs.

🎸💯 CCR GETS DOWN with it here‼🔥

Always gets me moving! ❤

Thanks for sharing. When Fantasy Recs released it ...CCR"s "Bayou Country" was one of the first albums I ever bought...with my lawn mowing money.

It's songs like this that make CCR first-timers think they're listening to a southern rock band instead of a CA band. When I first heard 'Lodi,' I assumed they were talking about Lodi, OH.

Great pull BizMan!!!! Thanks for starting off my weekend off on the right vibe!!!! Now time for a little Bon Scott!!!! ✌️ So says Austin Tx!!!! ❤️😎🍸

There Gig at Woodstock was at 2:00. In the morning.🌄🎸🪴⌛

What more to say about CCR? Perfect

My fav CCR song Biz thanks!

I just love your reactions! Watching from Montana!

Dude. Haven't been listening to music and music reviews in a long time. I just wanna say you really really get this song. It's 3/4 the GROOVE and 1/4 lyrics. If you just maybe close your eyes and move your body to the rhythm. You'll end up in a trance. A different calming head space and wanting the groove to carry on for 30 minutes or more. Mezmerising. for sure.

Rando choices be fine with me Bizz. Almost 100 on their greatest hits album. Only a couple of turkeys. Have you done Traveling Band or Up around the bend? Suzy Cue? My two favorites are the song you are playing and I put a Spell on you. Especially the Woodstock performance! John not only sang, but played lead guitar too. When I was young, I wanted to look like Fogarty, instead, I look more like a garden gnome.

CCR one of my favs all these decades - there's always a time to listen to some CCR - Try a current band that harkens back to the best of the past music - The Teskey Brothers - a favorite of mine is one of their first 'Pain and Misery' - the official video is best to get a feel for the way they record to get that original sound. They are so good

A good song but their best in my opinion is as long as I can see the light. Check it out .

Bad Moon Rising, by CCR, is a great one to listen to immediately after this song and every Halloween

GREAT REACTION!

SWAMP Rock

What's next from CCR? Anything. They were incapable of making bad music. Fogarty was surely touched by God. Righteous

SWAMP ROCK! some say

They had that swampy delta sound

❤

There are a few deep cuts, which you'll never hear on reactor's channels - which is a shame really - "Gloomy", "Walk On The Water", 99.5 won't do", "The Penthouse Pauper", "Effigy", "Born To Move", "Chameleon", "Pagan Baby", "Wish I Could Hideaway",… - These songs (except Effigy & Penthouse)) are from 2 albums: the self titled debut album Creedence Clearwater Revival (their sound wasn't completely polished yet which is a good thing to me, so it sounds more raw, psychedelic & bluesy) & Pendulum (the second to last album, which has more soul and instrumental variation to it than the albums before that) Their hits became ear wax to me, they were in heavy rotation in the 70s and 80s on the radio. Still "I Put A Spell On You" & "Born On The Bayou" are great songs IMHO.

great find mr bizz.

More Cow Bell!

The gatas in nawlins be groovin to ccr

what is the story behind the song  

Another good CCR song “bootleg”

Swamp Rock

Grew up on this

As much as I love CCR, it’s LONG OVERDUE that John Fogerty FINALLY gets called out for being an appropriator/bs artist whose WHOLE schtick was that of being some backwoods southern bar band made good….ALL THE WHILE CCR is from Northern f-ing California!! The tunes are strong, sure, but CCR is LARGELY just a put-on imo. ‘70’s Skynyrd, ACTUALLY from the South, is CCR but ACTUALLY being/living from/that life that CCR romanticizes (YET NEVER LIVED). IMO CCR was merely “‘theater-kid’ play-acting southern rock from afar” before it arrived in full, AUTHENTIC form in Skynyrd. NOT ENOUGH people call out Fogerty’s BS Southern LARPing/fraudulence/GROSS inauthenticity IMO. The dude made a career out of 18 months worth of singles fooling the world into believing he was some long-lost Stax or Sun recording artist rather than someone who regularly ran in circles/rubbed shoulders with the late 60’s Grateful Dead. Need I say more?!! Fraudulent behavior if you ask me

@@dt1064growing up is realizing that your ‘heroes’ are flawed and that NOBODY should EVER be put on a pedestal EVER. IF you DON’T understand this, you’re either TOO inexperienced in life OR you’re just too gd dense to comprehend how DISGUSTINGLY simple you are. Either way-AINT a pretty picture!! Fear not, John Fogerty MADE A CAREER out of painting second-hand pictures of lives he never actually led, kowtowing to the cheap seats, catering to a Southern ‘working class’ that he knew next to NOTHING of, and pandering to a South that was born WHOLLY of his own imagination…AGAIN, bc CCR is from Northern goddamn California…and said imagination is ALL Fogerty EVER had to work with. Pathetic and gross, frankly-CCR fraudulently made young boomers of the day feel that they fulfilled their ‘alotment’ of working-class music, southern music, and ‘soul’ music [I shit you NOT!]in ONE fell swoop in the late 60’S DESPITE BEING NONE OF THE 3…..such was the insidious fake-southernness of CCR. What a shitheaded, presumptuous huckster John Fogerty must’ve been in the late 60’s, eh? NO WAY he could’ve ever known that the internet would ever exist; let alone lay bare how bereft of talent he really was save for 2 to 3 ACTUALLY unique licks he somehow fell ass-backwards into writing. FOH. Just wait til Fogerty apologists ACTUALLY discover the ACTUAL genius of Curtis Mayfield, Chuck Berry, or James Brown,-in a world that was just and right, they’d flip!!Will they stan as hard for someone ACTUALLY deserving of the adulation?! Remains to be seen. Hmm, must just be a pigment of my imagination as to the hold up, hmmm. Chuck Berry to the left of ‘em, Skynyrd to the right, and you’re stuck in the middle who again, exactly? Ahh yes, John Fogerty’s CCR. Mid af to the very end I see. Fitting!!

Honest to God Biz! You have an infectious smile bro! I have been not feeling well lately and when I see you in the mornings you really make my day! How can I not smile when I see you react to my generations music! I see the enjoyment in you smile! I don’t even know you but I Love ya Bro! Thank you!
