Their greatest groove? CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL(CCR) Born on the bayou REACTION - First hearing

[@Cynthia...]

This is one of their best songs in my humble opinion. Good one Harri. ☯️

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Agree...never gets enough credit ! :) Peace & Love

[@lewallen86]

Mine is walk on water it’s always held a place for me

[@gtplumbing2004]

How can you have that voice, the talent to put together that grove, and write words to a song like that? He must be a genius.

[@marybaillie8907]

This was the B side to Proud Mary which was released first. John Fogarty's voice is raw and powerful on this tune. Such a fantastic sound for CCR makes them so recognizable. You swear they lived in the Bayou instead of California. Great reaction Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@jennifursun3303]

John and his brother were raised down the freeway from me

[@dagmar.6954]

CCR has always been one of my favorites from the 60's-70's. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great. You've done quite a few already but lots more to react to such as "Proud Mary", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Run Through The Jungle", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.

[@lindabergman3127]

💯 agreed!! But out of all their great songs this is my fave 🤩

[@lindabergman3127]

Also love run thru the jungle👍and that guitar solo in Ramble Tamble is beautiful ❤️

[@artbagley1406]

CCR has dug a very deep "rabbit hole" for anybody brave enough, and with time enough, to head down there.

[@donnabruhn6907]

One of the best CCR songs. Have loved these guys since the 60's

[@bufordteejustice1119]

My favorite song by them. Great groove.

[@caroleann_2142]

Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, their Catalog is filled with nothing but Fantastic Music, John's rendition of... I put a Spell on you....Is my Favorite, Being a kid listening to this, was Dope!

[@atombomb31458]

CCRs drummer is magnificent

[@heyou702pc]

There it is....the southern swamp music. I love it ❤

[@thehorrorfanx]

CCR is my all time favorite band. Every song is a great jam session.

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

This song encapsulates Forth of July celebrations spent with family for barbecue/cookout in the back yard; perhaps attending a patriotic parade and speeches by local candidates running for some government office (speeches were not my favorite as a child, although the brass bands and parades were fun); homemade ice-cream, and best of all....fireworks in the evening as soon as it got dark! This song brings back happy memories.....I can almost hear the clank of horse-shoes being tossed, see the long tables of delectable food.

[@Lakeshore14]

One of my favourite grooves from CCR. Very funky music from them. Thanks for your reaction Harri. 👏🇨🇦

[@The5thGen]

This is my favorite CCR song. It’s just so cool.

[@Vonhoganschmidt-13]

His voice back in the 70's Was So Strong. Tremendous

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Harri, always a great reaction! Such a funky groove, you'd swear these were southern boys but they all came from the San Francisco area. Their version of I Heard It Through the Grapevine is also so funky. Such a great great band!

[@sharontesta6566]

As is their rendition of Susie Q

[@roygoad2870]

Saw them at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970, the only concert they ever played in the U.K.

[@jennifursun3303]

lucky, you

[@pncombies]

When I think of CCR, Born On The Bayou, that signature bass line and Fogerty's raspy vocals comes to mind.

[@debbiechang5781]

Nothing puts a smile on my face quite like that gravelly voice of John Fogarty. It’s just delicious! CCR is right up there in my top ten favorite bands. Thanks Harri 🌺✌️

[@jonahpedersen5429]

Great reaction, CCR didn’t miss. Try “I put a spell on you”

[@ALong-fo5so]

CCR has an incredible catalogue of great songs all crammed into the short space of time they were together as CCR. They were so prolific that they released 3 great albums in one year (1969). There was no such thing as a bad song from the band during those folded years.

[@gregoryriley3993]

There are no words. Thank You

[@MaddyN999]

One of my favorites! So swampy 🐊. Love the guitar line in this sooo much!

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Christmas 1969 my grandma gave me CCR’s first album! They are still one of my top favorite bands to this day.

[@jrsinsf]

Their cover of I Heard It Through the Grapevine, is a must... you're gonna love it!!!

[@filibertoarteaga9571]

One of my favorite I'm from the SF Area and CCR was big in the 70's when I was a teenager... many years ago I looked up the word Hoodoo it is an African religious spirit

[@denisetinto1828]

Yes, their greatest groove. If I were on a deserted island, this is the song I would want to have with me. 🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥇💯🤗🥰💖

[@paulwhite5840]

This song and Susie Q are my favorites from CCR. They never recorded a bad song.

[@ralphascariot105]

Great reaction Harri, these guys great musians- can listen to this all nite. Guitars - drums etc !!!!!!😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

[@christopherbako]

Great voice and Drums!

[@jameslapham4326]

CCR was the group I saw live - 1972. It was as wonderful as you might imagine. I don't think you can go wrong with any Creedence song.

[@jennifursun3303]

lucky you

[@bosbro742]

I saw Fogerty in Boston at the pavilion on the harbor in the 90s. It was right after he won his case against his record company. It was rumored he was playing CCR songs. They opened with blind boys of Alabama. He opened with THIS song. The first opening licks people went crazy

[@glennsmusicchannel]

This has always been my favorite track of theirs, and it never shows up on their best-of or greatest hit compilations. I have no idea why.

[@kathleenredick275]

Harri, I love watching your reactions to this "old" music because I'm 72, and this is the music I grew up with.

[@jettrink7510]

I like it because it seems to go on forever...

[@caseybates4889]

This is one of my favorite rock and roll songs of all time!

[@eximusic]

My favorite song by them. That little ol band from California (never lived on a bayou) .

[@dustyroad76]

Lots of CCR songs focus on the Louisana low country swap culture and vibe from New Orleans to Memphis on the Mississippi river and everwhere in between. Rock and Roll started in this culture in the 50's and it produced lots of artists and great music that carried over 10-15 years later with CCR capitavated by the same vibe and adopting it as their own. Unique take on the culture and John Forarty songwriting and unique voice just was so so good!

[@johnsrensen3366]

My favorit track of Ccr

[@Festvangelist]

Harri you Sir are the Best ! CCR is just one of those Bands that froze a time in History with their sound. What a Band…AI will Never achieve the organic jams that this era of music achieved. What a groove these guys could lay down.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

Another great jam band that could also make hits. John Fogerty is a beast, and they have such a distinctive sound. So many great songs, from iconic anti-war song “Fortunate Son” to hit songs like “Up Around the Bend”, “Looking Out My Back Door”, “Suzy Q”, “Proud Mary”, to a favorite cover of “Heard it Through the Grapevine”. Great choice.✌️❤️🎶

[@bbb462cid]

absolute favorite: Looking Out My Back Door

[@Wordsmyth8]

Along with Green River, this is one of CCR’s best.

[@ghiaman65]

Their two swampiest songs.

[@karenpowell6063]

This song is one of my favorite CCR songs, thanks for listening to it 🔥🔥😊❤️

[@astroteech]

I was dancin to this in 7th grade Friday night junior high school dances. It still makes me move at 65!

[@cantdance3077]

Epic Rock from CCR

[@richb313]

John Fogerty singing one of CCR's most popular songs.

[@cynergy4]

They sound pretty authentic for a bunch of California boys! This is the first album that I ever bought with my own money, I was 15. Love CCR!

[@stevedotwood]

Their grooviest jam is "Keep On Chooglin'" but it's a bit longer. The harmonica is great in that one

[@spikebeans9563]

Oh Harri, this is my favorite CCR song, you are going to love it. Thanks.

[@danjoda755]

Mighty fine pick, Harry, well done ✌️🤗

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! Grew up listening to CCR, not a bad song in their catalog.

[@vickihirsch8340]

Being from New Orleans, Fogarty's southern swamp sound is perfect. Would never know they were from California. Check Proud Mary which was an awesome cover hit by Ike and Tina

[@unclephil7650]

Possibly my favorite CCR song. Thanks Harri ✌️ P.S. First 😂

[@darylmorgan9887]

One of my favorites from CCR. Nice choice Harri. Cheers from your followers in Australia.

[@allauricia1985]

My favorite is Keep on Chooglin All their stuff is a groove

[@pauleller7164]

Great, as usual my friend

[@edithdavis2848]

CCR has some great songs.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Always loved playing this loud with the bass cranked up when we cruised the bayous of S. Louisiana - such a proper groove for where we were, doing what we were doing. Don't let "The Man" getcha, could be any government entity or agency; backwoodsmen and people of the swamps and bayous tend to distrust governments of all shapes and sizes - the ideal is to get out of the way of the citizenry and let us live our lives and raise our families. Government gets involved and it means they must raise revenue to pay for their time and trouble disrupting things, and they take the revenue from the citizenry.

[@gregoryclayton8287]

Looks like you're really gettin into it, I love CCR, like I've been saying for decades, John Fogerty doesn't have the right to be that talented, but he is, Hes crazy good. HARRI you're the BEST!!! Great Stuff! Signed, G the E.

[@nancygarreaud1534]

My California boyfriend brought this album to college and he had a portable record player. We went up into the canyon on an October afternoon, dropped acid, and listened to this for about 5 hours. Great song - love every part of it.

[@SWTSU]

Great reaction Harri and you should know any song with a cowbell is going to be awesomely!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So says Austin Tx!!!!😎🍸

[@davidbooth7778]

Wore them old 8-tracks out back in the day. Still guy the vinyls.

[@schroedingers_kotze]

John Foggery definitely has the hottest rock voice of all time! Of course, I know a lot of competitors for the first place that everyone would think of now. But from my point of view, no one else can match his phenomenal voice.

[@dt1064]

Love that driving bass. Always crank up this song.

[@davidpitt9528]

CCR was the best band to dance to, if you put their album on you got a real work out, burned all the calories up

[@heyhuey4429]

You need some "Oh Happy Day - by The Edwin Hawkins Singers"

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Please do UP AROUND THE BEND and SWEET HITCH HIKER and MIDNIGHT SPECIAL BY CCR

[@maryohara1224]

And Pagan Baby and the incomparable Long as I Can See the Light

[@jahl14]

Green River. Gotta be next!!

[@tetr2024]

Harry there is live version from Royal Albert Hall.. You should check out that concert.. All the best Harri!

[@debbiemickelson5448]

You might of actually thought he was brought up on the bayou great song

[@bbb462cid]

One thing about CCR is their ability to show _restraint_ as they chug effortlessly though this song. Or maybe they were chooglin through it.

[@kyle-409]

I live on a bayou so I'm partial to this one

[@zf5567]

CCR 🤘😎!! You should check out The Band -The Weight 🎶!

[@davidhart8621]

Anyone who doesn't like this song has something seriously wrong with them!

[@bbb462cid]

If this is no toe tapper and no body shaker, you need to see an undertaker!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

What we need ..is more Cowbell! ..lol

[@John_Locke_108]

Nasty and dirty. I feel like I'm sitting in a swamp with a cooler of beer. Something I've never done because I live in New England but I imagine that it would feel as good as this song sounds.

[@marketingTUNEUP]

Few more same vibe. Run thru Jungle, Green River, Put Spell on You, Suzie Q, Grapevine. Hidden Gem = Long as I Can See the Light. Magic in its simplicity. Shout out to less played - Effigy, Commotion.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That's hilarious, you nailed it. Man that would be awesome with the gospel choir maybe on the later refrains definitely. And you have absolutely got to check out hide away and then also a song they do called put a candle in the window and I would say a third song in that direction is feeling blue. You'll get a strong gospel just incredible compositions man but they had so many that's the problem. I would also say for a total all out rocker, it fell out of the sky. And then you've got the one that they do go political about Vietnam and it's called every mother's son. It is the most emotional thing I've ever heard and it's musically top notch. I wish you'd react to some of those. Then you'll know the real credence. Not just the big hits.

[@Darmesis]

Full gospel choir? Maybe, but I could def see 3 Soulful Sisters and a Brother who’s a nice, deep bass backing on this song as nifty, live jam! 🎸

[@denisemay6807]

Oh, you haven’t heard this one? It’s a real treat

[@rodneygriffin7666]

Fun fact: CCR has had more #2 singles in the Billboard charts (US) than any artist to this day than any artist in history without ever achieving a #1 single. Period. All their stuff is amazing, though...

[@dangaiser4729]

Every riff 4 times! 🤘

[@tilemonkee5510]

Great stuff,Harri! Not sure if you've done it yet, but,how about "I put a spell on you"(ccr)?

[@brandonious7732]

I first heard this song as the intro to the swamp thing movie

[@chuckrowland8362]

Thanks!

[@drohegda]

Harry on yt. There is a concert from 1970 with CCR at the Royal Albert Hall it's great if you would like to check it out, , OK Harri Great channel Harri from across the pond 👍👍👍.

[@rubroken]

Harri, I'm amazed that you hadn't reacted to this Creedence song yet!

[@kattiavanessacamachohernan4345]

The original song ... Little Richard❤

[@jennifursun3303]

wish I could have seen them in person the guitar John used for this was gone for many years his wife bought it back for him so he now has it in his possession sadly the guitar for Green River was stolen out of Johns car

[@DevilFish69]

This song was used during the opening credits of RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING.

[@pete3883]

Luv Mountain Dew drink.

[@jimbrentar]

used to play this in my rock oldies band

[@MrFmiller]

I like your reviews. I’ll subscribe just to go through what you have and what you might come up with. So far so good.

[@kustomdeluxe8489]

If you like this one, you will like Bootleg and Keep On Chooglin.

[@khoohockleong7585]

Did you know the lettrr "C" is one of the most religious letter. And this group has this letter in its first two name syllables. Importance is given for the syllables from left to right in the nae in decreasing order. And the group has the letter "A" appearing three ties also giving accoplishments and majesty.

[@haroldmadden887]

Check out “Penthouse Pauper” great song..

[@marthadigges7436]

Please react to CENTERFIELD ,so good.

[@denisetinto1828]

🇨🇦🔥🤗

[@sharontesta6566]

Swampy as Hell for a San Fran band

[@marielaveau5321]

Just a note, the lyrics were wrong. The line is "chooglin on down to New Orleans". Not "a-jubblin". ✌️

[@onelove1968]

They're actually not from Louisiana ... San Francisco, California.

[@jimbrentar]

have you done "Green River" yet?
