ITS THE VOICE!.| FIRST TIME HEARING John Fogerty - Old Man Down The Road REACTION

[@abelincoln3287]

John Fogerty has one of the greatest voices in rock and roll history. He started out as a drummer, having to raise his voice over the drum set. He developed into a powerful singer and also a great guitar player. He's also a very nice and likable person.

[@bbb462cid]

I feel like I can trust this Abe Lincoln guy. He seems honest.

[@sasquatch885]

Doug Clifford and Stu Cook don’t find him all that likable.🤔

[@gejuje]

@@sasquatch885 Maybe they have reason to, nobody is perfect, but the simple fact is that John Fogerty was the one with the talent, he wrote the hits

John Fogarty did a lot of the work on CCR's music. When he left the group he had to go to court to be able to do some of his own work in concert. He's awesome in concert also. His song Center Field is a baseball opening season stable. He's just good.

[@txheadshots]

And the judge had to rule that it was impossible to say that John Fogerty sounded too much like himself

[@definitelylostintime]

He was CCR. What did they ever do after John left? They lived off his portfolio and The Old Man collected royalties from John's songs.

[@kevincaulder9001]

John Fogerty's signature voice is one of the most distinctive sounds in rock-n-roll history. His songwriting skills are just as important for driving the unique songs of both Credence Clearwater Revival and his own solo career. We still haven't heard you react to him with CCR in two classic numbers, LOOKING OUT MY BACKDOOR and RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE. And there is a video of a performance with the Fairfield Five gospel group from his album Blue Moon Swamp that deserves your attention. The song is ONE HUNDRED AND TEN IN THE SHADE. It literally paints a picture of old southern summer heat and musical thirst of hard it was to work in the fields. It made that ice cold lemonade worth the wait. Amber might remember those long gone days from her youth. Another suggestion, John Mellencamp- PAPER IN FIRE.

[@dennishuntley7688]

Looking out my back door is very very good, my favorite CCR song.

[@nanawalks]

Good suggestions. John (The man of many names) Mellencamp is an artist they need to hear.

Fogerty and CCR are from El Cerritos, California, a town north of San Jose. His unique voice is even more evident in "Long As I Can See The Light" and "Tombstone Shadow". I love and miss hearing it.

He has the untamed vocals of Memphis rockabilly. It’s a backwoods howl.

[@andrewleavenworth2309]

When I have a rare bad day like today, one of the first things I do is look up one of your new reactions - and sometimes even old ones. Your love and knowledge (and desire to learn) of music is infectious as opposed to others who do reactions that seem more like they just want to be seen and who interrupt constantly (one does it after about every 30 seconds). You wait and jump in at just the right times (to me, at least). So thanks for brightening some days

I saw John at Jazz fest in New Orleans, several years ago. I am 71 years old so, I grew up with CCR & John. J, Like you I am a city boy. Grew up in New York, but when John sings I feel like putting on some bib overalls & chewing on a blade of grass. BTW, at Jazz fest, he had the crowd rockin', We're talking about teens up to old geezers like me. If you go through his whole catalog, before you finish, you might be as old as me!

For Female Friday: Ronnie Spector - ‘Be My Baby’ Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing’ Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ Other notables: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’

[@williamcapp448]

When CCR first started out John Fogerty's brother was the lead singer. They called themselves Tom Fogerty & the Blue Velvets. But they couldn't get a hit until John took over the lead vocals. They even did a stint as The Gollwogs and they all wore white afro wigs. It was 1967 when John took the reigns. He wrote much of CCR's catalog. His first big song was Proud Mary which Tina Turner had a hit on.

[@adgato75]

I found out that John was a WAY underrated guitarist ! 😳 When he came out with his baseball bat guitar. Thought I'd seen them, then , I had a pop up of a long haired kid, old enough to be his dad, with a three string electric spade. Home made, playing " Ace Of Spades " on a spade ! So I had to see for myself. I'm not a paid anything, I was just that impressed with Justin Johnson ! Anything he can put strings to maybe make music gets electric guitar. An old wooden ironing board, turned into a steel guitar. Forte of blues !!!

A little background on Johnny Winter. Born in Texas, he briefly played with Jimmy Hendrix in the early 60's before they became famous. He lived in Mississippi with Muddy Waters for many years right near Highway 61. He was an albino and just recently passed away. He is a well deserved member of the Texas Blues and Rock and Roll Hall's of Fame. If you want to experience his versatility, check out the mandolin on Too Much Seconal from his Still Alive and Well album.
