🎵​ Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin' Out My Back Door REACTION

[@Anthony-mi7ob]

Impossible not to like. It's great when the musicians are enjoying themselves.

[@hk-wr2jt]

I don't think the rest of the band enjoyed playing for ultra-perfectionist John Fogerty. Who also made a famously bad financial deal.

[@josephglatthaar6482]

I love that Lex loves CCR!

[@resin3100my]

John wrote this when his kid (daughter,i believe) was only like 3 or 4.The circus came to town and she was all excited about seeing all of the performers (in those days,when the circus came to town,they did a parade through town to advertise and show off some of there performers).John wrote this for her and was describing things that she was seeing,adding quite a bit of other silly things to make her laugh

[@Wreck-it_Ralph]

Hmm all this time I just thought they were trippin

[@jamison8185]

[@TonyM1961]

Son, but the rest is accurate. Loosely based on "To think I saw it on Mulberry St" as he read it to his son on the porch after a long tour with the band

CCR is timeless, this was around 50 years ago, I imagine people will still be listening to CCR 100 years from now.

[@judyswatosh3461]

Their vibe is so homey. Listening to CCR always makes me feel like I'm with my family.

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

I really love how CCR could go from blues to rock, r & b, and back to country. Amazing band!

[@vincentsablan732]

An electric guitar, bass, a simple drum kit, rounded out with an AMAZING vocalist...just perfection!!!

[@kennethohnemus3192]

Yeah, just pure simple and soothing music

[@tcw5611]

If you listen really closely you'll hear John playing bottleneck dobro (a resonator guitar often played slide) throughout the song. Easiest place to hear the dobro very clearly is in the beginning where the guitar lick mimics the "doo doo doo, lookin' out my backdoor" lyric. If you look at the front cover photo of the Green River album, you can see John holding his dobro.

[@mage1439]

Oh, this reaction opens up a floodgate, because CCR was incredible always.

[@allanboyer2769]

I love watching you two enjoying the music of my generation. Lex is too cute for her own good, lol. Rock on girl. You guys are a great couple.

His voice is so clear and resonant then suddenly growling with a natural vibrato. Great joyful tune.

Old school is the best school. I remember Cosmos Factory. My friend Darlene & I would listen to albums like this & look at Teen magazine.,talk about our crushes like David Cassidy & Davy Jones.

[@kasiaseubert]

Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn is my favorite lyric 😊

[@vernhoke7730]

Yes kids this "old school", from the early to late sixties. Just simple music to enjoy and sing along to.

[@jackgilchrist]

Late 60s and 70s, like all the best classic rock. 👍

[@buttnugget2900]

Still some of that these days if you know where to look. :D

[@MrSoulPatrol]

Really? I have looked around litterally hours every day and have almost lost hope for real music. I´m kind of a music nerd. Nirvana was the last band that makes my poor old heart pound a little extra. I bought my first 45 in 1964. It was Love Me Do - The Beatles. Loved almost everything they did. My next music love was CCR in 1969 and that love still last. Then Black Sabbath and The Ramones and Sex Pistols. The 80s was miserable in every aspect. Then came Nirvana and bought music back. But now.. =( Please push me in the right direction!

[@vernhoke7730]

@@MrSoulPatrol I'm sorry, his studio is called "Fogarty's Factory". His channel is just "John Fogarty". It has CCR, his solo stuff and videos with his kids. Yeah as a kid while, we we're stationed in Turkey, back in '63/'64 I had a few of those old A&M Beatles 45s. Sadly none of them made it back to the states. They, with a lot of other stuff got stolen. The eighties weren't that miserable. There was AC/DC, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Queen to name a few who hung in there.

[@sharonmullins1957]

Best music EVER!

[@surlechapeau]

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

[@jamison8185]

Yes! And Green River, Born on a Bayou, Suzie Q, Down on the Corner, whole bunch more

[@surlechapeau]

@@jamison8185 they've done Bayou 7 months ago

[@MrSoulPatrol]

"Travellin´ Band","Long As I Can See The Light" and "Tombstone Shadow" are my suggestions.

[@jackgilchrist]

Yeah, CCR is late 60s into the 70s. Their debut studio album was 1968. I don't think I've ever met a single person who doesn't like CCR. People in my general age bracket (born between the 50s and the 70s) basically grew up with them, but my nearly 80-year-old Mom likes them, as did my Dad when he was alive. When my little brother was a teen in the 90s and into death metal and the like, he nevertheless would steal my CCR greatest hits cassette and play it over and over while playing video games. His daughter also likes them. Creedence brings generations together.

[@renewillner5061]

Absolutely.. lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸

[@moleman1976]

I'm basically a clone of your little brother - 80s kid but teenage years were the 90s. I can remember the ads on TV for the "Best of" CCR compilations (those were in the 80s, I think). I didn't quite grow up with CCR, but I was introduced to them early, and I've loved them ever since. For me, "Lodi", "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", and "Long as I Can See the Light" are my favorites. But this song is a great, happy, upbeat tune - it's so fun and uplifting!

[@floridaliving5660]

[@stevedotwood]

yeah so many obscure songs on the albums, many forgotten jewels in there which no one ever suggests, a shame really

[@classiclife7204]

You guys summed it up. Simple, perfect music that never aged because no one could quite imitate their unique sound, particularly Fogerty's voice. CCR is a mash of genres. This is more country-jugband feel here, but they could do r&b with equal zest. The best band the American 1960s produced, with all due apologies to The Beach Boys, who are CCR's only competition for the title.

[@obxtasy626]

Hmm idk about the last statement lol. I'd put The Doors as the best American band ever, simply bcos they were so innovative and versatile. Then CCR and TBB.

Back in the day, people ascribed almost every song reference to drugs. This was actually a Dr. Seuss type of inspiration written at least in part for John's son Josh.

[@ozlovescoffee5595]

Just a relaxing tune.

[@ShelbyFarrow]

I can tell you a little about the band. The lead singer John Fogerty, is still singing on his own and is crushing it at the age of 80. The blonde haired guy with the beard is John's brother Thomas Fogerty. I remember many years ago when Thomas passed away from liver cancer at either the age of 47 or 49? Not exactly sure of his age at death. The drummer Doug Harrison is still to this day the drummer for the band Creedence Clearwater Revisited, a CCR tribute band. Not sure about the bassist.

[@charlesberton2581]

Love CCR. Thanks, cats.

[@HemlockRidge]

I like to sit on my rural back porch, with a pipe full, and watch all the happy creatures too (doot...doot...doot). Yeah, this song was for his kid. That's what John Lennon said about "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" as well.

The blond guy was Johns brother, they were together as a band who released albums for just 5 years and made the Hall of Fame long ago, but they were actually singing as a band for 12 years, that's why they were so tight. Much better together tbh.
