One of the things that made CCR such a timeless band, is they were as "in tune" with the American ethos of the '70's as any band could be. So many of their songs are identified with the Vietnam War; but they also sang about growing up in America, & the whole "peace & love" movement typified by (dare I say) "hippies", "flower children", what have you. In other words, they were a voice for the people of their generation. Thank you, sir, for reacting to them, & HEARING what they were saying.

@aaronchampagne58512 жыл бұрын
Just a bit of backstory about "CCR" is that they are a very "Southern" band with very liberal views. Most people think they originated in the South, but they actually are from Berkeley CA. The style of music can be a tad leading, or misleading if you don't actually listen. "Green River", and "Fortunate Son" I think are the best examples. "Fortunate Son" has been used probably as much as "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen, in a misguided and, frankly, asinine way to promote ideologies that are not what these songs are even about. It is actually quite the opposite. The lyrical content of these bands is clear if you actually listen. Sorry if I rambled.

As a kid in junior high, I got a stereo record player for Christmas. The single for "Up Around The Bend" was current at the time, and on the strength of that song, the first album I bought was "Cosmos Factory". From there, CCR became the first band I actually collected, and I had around 5-6 of their albums before I had more than two by anyone else. Finally got to see John (at least) in 2016, in Vegas.
