I'm 15 years old and John Fogerty is my childhood because of my 57 yo dad :D

[@marythompson2603]

I am 63 and I remember guys from my community being drafted and sent to war and many did not return or returned disabled. I am so glad these songs carry their own weight through the years. May they live forever lest we ever forget.

[@renoir8719]

@@artbyfinn7757 awesome!! My Dad took me to see CCR when I was 13:)

[@Oh_I_Will]

Nobody cares how old i am, who or when I went to see CCR with my Aunts, Uncles, next door neighbor. I’m just here listening to a really good cover....not Copying or Pasting the same stupid comment on every song/cover from that era...

[@Schutzgeist]

1000 professional covers but I listen to this one on a loop. Thanks

[@leahdivine5071]

I became an instant Larkin Poe fan! My dad turned me on to them. I’m not a kid by any means I just have a dad with great taste in music!

[@benbarclay5546]

The songs may have shaped you, but you are doing them righteous justice. This series kicks ass big time. Thank you. This is real music.

[@gtrgodlou1581]

I use to be in a rock band & this was one of the song list..songs....I still lov your videos;))

[@lrowlands53]

Damn!!! This is great on so many levels. Take notice people.

[@johnzicari]

Further proof that the kids are alright. Hearing these to two kick ass young ladies kicking out the jams belting out 'I ain't no senator's/millionaire's/military son...' adds a whole other level. FUCK YEAH!

[@patrikhjorth3291]

I woke up at 5 AM this morning with a craving for this song. I blame you. Don't ever stop.

[@user-fe5qg6cq9h]

I’m 63 Japanese. CCR was my wake up clock song for my high school.

[@logangreen3949]

Oh my god!! I love you both so damn much! I hope you influence young kids and turn them on to REAL music! Keep rocking ladies!!!!!!

Amazing as always 😱❤️❤️ I seriously can't get enough of their music

[@TheGoulesque]

You fortunate sisters, always on top

[@johnthompson3802]

Thought nobody could do this better than Bob Seger. This works on that level just fine, fine, fine! These two tap into the music that MAKES you move (or else check your pulse). Just got to the quiet part. Holy hot damn!

I hope they go to the top.

[@theverseshed]

Great version . . . just hope they record 'Susie Q'. That song would really suit them.
