Green river is song about Putah Creek that runs right next to Winters, Ca the town I live in. Old Cody was Bill Cody and I worked for him for a little bit at Cody's Liquor Store here in town. John Fogerty use to come and fish while he camped up the road. We have a bar called the green river saloon. I never did meet John Fogerty as this was before my time here in town.

[@BlazenZim]

Graduated from Winters high in 87 and also worked at Cody’s from 87 till 88. Small world.

The title, however, he took from a syrup for fountain drinks.

@@keensoundguy6637 I remember getting those (Talking about a Green River soda) at our local Rexall Drug store back in the 60's!! They had a lunch counter and we'd go there after baseball practice, sometimes got a 'chocolate coke'. Man those were the days.

This album sounds just as good and fresh today as it did 50+ years ago.

[@xaspirate8060]

Just fkg Love it!! Played it all thru recently after years -- phenomenal music accomplishment.

[@keef7224]

As a country boy, that last verse always resonated with me. The song is so light and nostalgic, but then the ending is kind of ominous. The old man warning him he’s gonna grow up and go out into the world with big dreams and goals, but he’s going to find a world in chaos and confusion. And the best advice ever- when you get lost, go back to the simple things like home and friends and family.

[@xaspirate8060]

In my younger days, I flipped out when I realized they were saying "said you're gonna find the world is smoulderin'" - painted a totally different picture

I'm a huge fan I think it's good buy enjoy many by them more. I put a Spell on You, Night Time is the Right Time, Up around the Bend, I heard it Thru the Grapevine.

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex you'll love their "Proud Mary","Up Around The Bend"& "Sweet Hitch-Hiker"!!!

[@RedPillMode]

Yes do Proud Mary, first from CCR, and then from Tina Turner, around 1971 or thereabouts. Not later! You will be amazed!

[@donaldduck2139]

fine days weren't they❗❗

[@lawrencecooper2361]

Lex: "This is a people-playing-with their-feet song". Brad: "This song terrifies me". I've been listening to Green River since high school and those are by far the most original reactions I've ever encountered

[@bretthardin9239]

wasnt there a green river killer?

[@mikmaqwoman]

Agree. A+ for originality. Awesome

[@jeffreyisenberg830]

Brad, fresh water: snakes and gators. Salt water: Sharks, jellyfish, stingrays. Choose your poison. Fortunately, I live far enough north that I don't have to deal with gators although some prankster put a small one in a small local lake a couple of years ago.

[@lawrencecooper2361]

@@bretthardin9239 I seem to recall that there was. There was also a comic book superhero, the Green Lantern. He held his ring to the lantern and it recharged his powers. But Green Lantern was a different genre. He didn't have as many hits as CCR

@@bretthardin9239 🤣🤣. I think that was in Washington State!

[@bernie4366]

if you want swamp music, check out 'Born on the Bayou' by CCR. It is SPOOKY. Brad will hate it, but Lex will LOVE it lol

[@1drsausage]

That was the song that turned me on to CCR.

[@alrivers2297]

They've done that one. Look it up

[@bostonvair]

This song evokes such poignant memories of my early childhood. My father was the first to discover CCR in my family and he loved their music and bought several of their albums (up to 1970's Cosmo's Factory). This song was the title track of the 1969 album, "Green River." Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent in southern Vermont, where my family had an A-frame cabin. While I know that the Green River that John Fogerty sang about is elsewhere, there is a Green River that wends its way around Southern Vermont and northwestern Massachusets. I remember spending time there with my family and some of my parents' friends. Images of a covered bridge, and a dairy farm on the other side of the river fill my memories. This song reminds me both of that magical place as as well as my father, who's been gone for 20 years.

[@lawrencecooper2361]

There is a Green River in Williamstown MA right on the VT border. The road that connects Rt 2 and Rt 7 we've always called Green River rd. I always thought Green River emptied into the Hoosic River which flows North oddly enough. There is a conspicuous A-frame on Rt. 7 between Williamstown and Bennington VT. I wonder if that's the one you lived in. Small world

[@bostonvair]

Great story and great memories!

[@KellyKasia]

one of my favorite CCR songs. totally brings back my childhood

[@lantose]

Another great reaction! Lex, you always have a picture story of the vibe and you do match up with the barefoot dancing in the moonlight!

[@AW-yj6md]

This, like Lex said, has a down by the river, swamp feel,..my grandad, according to my mom use to go out and catch frogs by a creek in Louisiana near them,..she said he would come back with huge bag, or sack full,..so love this song, that down home bluesy, country, twang sound,.it's a foot tapping groove,..do keep going,..love it,..Godspeed, Peace ✌

[@hourihan58]

Fogerty is from Central California, Green River is about his childhood. No crocodiles, don't worry. Stuck in old Lodi . . . a song you can listen to from CCR, that is their roots.

[@richb313]

The boat shown is a pirogue a small flat bottom boat that you paddle like a canoe usually wooden sometimes made of plywood. Had one when I was young.

[@ShreddFly]

Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! Louisiana swamp funk. Makes me want to go find a lake with a rope swing. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!

[@minnesota_fats7344]

God damn! Now that is just a song that slaps. That's how you do a song like that. Like it's so perfect for what it is, short, concise, catchy hook, moving beat and vibe, hunting vocals, pulsating and all around great musicianship and it just keeps moving the song forward and then it's done.

[@TheJbrinks]

like a tune you would sing or play on a river or something at night

[@tmAcorn]

Putah Creek ( it's GREEN ) which flows out of Lake Barryessa in Northern California is what John Fogerty told the crowd is Green River at the memorial auditorium in Sacramento way back when he performed there. The band ALL grew up in El Cerrito close to the city of San Francisco. 45 minutes from the lake! Boyhood buds they were. We had good seats for that show-

[@DJ-bj8ku]

John Fogerty’s voice is a backwoods howl.

[@Joshuadgog]

You would love Proud mary, I put a spell on you, ramble tamble, travelin band, and suzie q. All great swamp songs. CCR were the swamp kings!!!!!!

[@xaspirate8060]

"Ramble Tamble" such a cool fkg song!!!!

[@EastPeakSlim]

"Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight." One of the most evocative lines ever penned for a rock song.

[@mxsfxt_116]

CCR... feeling blue, and as long as I can see the light. Classics! But this is my favorite ol school band lol

[@stephensupernor4481]

I’m a huge CCR fan, as my mom was before me. This is one of my all time faves and does not get the play some of the other do, so thanks!

[@johndarcangelo6893]

This song was actually written about Putah Creek up in Northern CA. I grew up near by, used to go fishing there.

[@mrb4749]

John Fogerty/CCR so incredible had hit after hit back then. Believe John produced, arranged most. Traveling Band, Up around the Bend are great. Even did a great cover of Jambalaya! My favorite group of all time listening to them from the start in 68 with Suzie Q.

[@BrianFilice]

"This song is a sonic embodiment of playing with your feet" 😂 I Love this channel and the two of you so much. Definitely my #1 favorite reaction channel right now. The back and forth you two have and the super unique things you say. Love it. Fun Fact about CCR: John Fogerty was actually born and raised and spent most of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area. He definitely channeled some genuine deep south vibes, I mean, really channeled it. Its always a marvel to me when I listen to CCR and then remember none of them ever spent much time in the South.

[@SG-js2qn]

CCR certainly has their own groove and musical niche. It's particularly cool how John sings "moonlight."

[@lantose]

Catfish is tasty. As long as it's not a mudcat. Fried frog legs are delicious. You just gotta keep a lid on the pan when you're cooking them, so they don't jump out. Green River is a classic. Heard it a gazillion times, but that simple guitar riff still pulls me in and I end up always listening to it again.

[@davescurry69]

Yet another great, great CCR song. Keep 'em coming guys. Loving Lex's reaction to this awesome band.

[@funkadelicatessen]

You have already reacted to several CCR songs. I would recommend "Cotton Fields", "Someday Never Comes" and "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" to be checked out.

[@mrb4749]

Cross Tie Walker off an album is very good they actually never had a bad song. Night Time is the Right Time, even a cover of Jambalaya is incredible.

[@gregdavidson670]

My first concert was CCR in the 60’s at Sam Houston Colosseum. I think I was 14, recently Mom couldn’t believe she let me go at that age. That was 50 years ago.

[@atuuschaaw]

CCR...pick one of their songs...any song...and it's a winner. 😉♥

[@charlesrichardson2372]

This song reminds me of my best friend Ross, we grew up on the Coloarado river in Arizona. We did everything they talk about in this song. We graduated together, he went off to college and I left for the Army. After years apart, we were brought back to the River and now we live 10 minutes from each other in our hometown Lake Havasu City, AZ. And we still go down to the river 🤙🤙

[@MrThebigredone]

If you want to be blown away listen to "Hideaway" by CCR, his vocals are unbelievable..also "Effigy" which has probably their darkest lyrics

[@cptlou]

Definitely music to listen while shooting pool

CCR was one of my older brother’s favorite bands. He died over 30 years ago when I was 12, but hearing CCR brings him back just a little. Thank you.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

Guys! If you want swamp music, you have got to check out the band MoFro. They're actually a native Florida band and they've got a lot of great music. I'd recommend checking out the song Dirtfloorcracker, you will not be disappointed.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love this one. And it's funny that Lex made the comment about playing with your feet. There are a lot of references to feet in this song! He talks about walking along by the river, kicking his feet down and cool water, barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight. There is just so much awesome Credence out there. Check out Feeling Blue. Or Hideaway. There is an entire range to their music even though instrumentally it kind of sounds similar.

[@thorshammer5776]

Growing up as a kid I used to love Creedence (John Fogerty). I always thought that he and his band were from the bayou country in Louisiana. It was just recently (in the last 3-4 years) That I learned that he was from Marin county which is just north of San Francisco. Apparently when he was growing up he would come out to Green River (Putah creek near Winters Ca) with his family and camp. now I camp there too!

[@Teresia12]

I was born on the Green River in KY. Very rural at the time. John Prine sang about my Green River. The name of the song is Paradise. Paradise was a coal miners town very close to where I was born. This song reminds me of my Green River too.
