CCR was vying for airplay time on U.S. radio with The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, Santana, Janis Joplin, Sly & The Family Stone, lots of the Woodstock list of performers; CCR was ALWAYS near the top as a group and with individual songs in the top 10. The competition was tough!

@ThymeBottle2 ай бұрын
The song "Keep On Chooglin' " is also on the Bayou Country album. As is "Graveyard Train", a song that I first heard on a dark and stormy midnight in Houston, Texas in 1968, over a high-powered Mexican radio which drowned out the local radio station signals. It was the scariest thing that my preteen self had ever heard, and John Fogerty's tortured voice and haunting tale had me puling up the covers over my head. I was determined to stay up until midnight from then on because that is when that particular station began playing everything CCR that they could find. A Time magazine article from that period pegged it right when it stated that Creedence Clearwater Revival gave out 'the malarial chills".

🇬🇧 Since ive been subscribing to reaction channels (about 3 years), CCR have quickly climbed to the top of some of my favourite bands. ❤🎶🎼
As I listen to your reaction here, I can't help but think there are similar folk type artistic expressions from near where you are. This is a somewhat romanticized and nostalgic look at this area of America. I can definitely see two people just like yourselves, but from the bayou on a reaction channel reacting to things they are learning about culture elsewhere in the world. Those that actually live life on the bayou don't necessarily have it easy at all. Statistically very poor, comparatively, and it lends itself to other thoughts of happiness that are completely disengaged from money or possessions. That is part of the mental release. This is what I think attracts many to this folk-style that is also an integral part of true rock and roll.

CCR was like Italian food - everybody likes it. Fogarty had such a righteous and soulful voice. As you say he "took you there". "Swamp Rock" at its best. The bayou country has a strong French influence and culture. The French were kicked out of Acadia by the British who renamed it Nova Scotia. The Acadians - Cajuns - fetched up in Louisiana which at the time belonged to France. Many lived in Maine as well where I grew up. As a child I heard more French than English. The US is very diverse, we don't need any more diversity

The Fogerty brothers hale from El Cerrito, CA, next to Berkely. I was a freshman in High School and I did not appreciate their catalogue until a few years later. I felt like it was not authentic, and you have to understand the incredible number of fire bands that came from the Bay Area alone. However, they did capture the AM airwaves and had a good number of hits. I can give them their due now but in 1969 I was not listening to the AM radio that much. It was the burgeoning era of underground FM stations like KSAN and KMPX. I absolutely love your enthusiasm and authentic reactions. Thank you!

After CCR broke up, lead singer/writer, John Fogerty went on his own. For many years he would not perform the songs he wrote with CCR, due to how the percentage of ownership rights were not favorable to him. After quite a long time, he did soften and began singing the old songs again. He has recently acquired sufficient ownership percentage/rights that are more favorable to him.
