You can't hear CCR and not get hooked. That funky, gritty sound just gets to you. Without question, one of the BEST BANDS EVER!. You guys looked like you were having a blast with this one.

[@oldermusiclover]

would love to have seen them in person and John doesn't think he is a good player I will trade with him

[@gasser217]

You guys are the greatest. I love your reactions to CCR One of the best bands EVER!!

[@petestaint8312]

Agreed! They hook you in. 👍

[@gottabeemee]

Ditto

[@georgeralph8031]

This is one of their most under rated songs, IMHO. It gets the least amount of air time these days.

[@andrewhimes6058]

LOL it's my Brothers ringtone on his cellphone

[@keef7224]

It’s the first song that comes to mind when I think of CCR. I think it encapsulates their sound and vibe the best.

[@brucesaunders2120]

@@keef7224 Next time you listen, the opening is a stone skipping across the water. The instrumental is the frogs and mosquitoes buzzing at night. Pure genius from John Fogarty and the most underrated song in the history of Rock and Roll.

[@JosephScott-ct9sw]

My favorite CCR song.

[@2199SPUDMAN]

Hands down, my favorite CCR song. Simple, short, peaceful. Perfect.

[@charlietwo13]

mine too

[@richb313]

John Fogerty is a genius songwriter who despite his troubled relationship with the band and his legal troubles still has the chops to play and remain relevant.

[@keyrat1753]

CCR had such a great sound.

[@PHX10100]

Hope you guys go through their entire works. So much more bringing smiles with great music. You guys are great to follow. Cheers!

[@The_Cramps_band_fan]

Three more of CCR's best songs are: Born on the Bayou, Run Through the Jungle (from the movie Kong Skull Island) and Sinister Purpose (used in the movie Green Room)

[@danielstorm8931]

You two are becoming CCR addict's...lol.. I was 9 years old when I first heard CCR and have never stopped. I'm 62 now and they make me want to dance every time I hear them.. Rock On!!

[@davidmckenzie420]

My favorite CCR song! A real classic. You should see the live version, done much later and in the UK. Fantastic. They were once called "America's band."

[@Marquanis]

Cross-tie walker is another great one by them also the song It came from out the sky.

[@dagmar.6954]

This is such a great song! You guys have done a lot of CCR songs already. Will recommend "Proud Mary", "Lodi", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.

[@creepyaxe]

They're all good

[@memetakesahikememe]

Fortunate Son

[@Cissy777]

Lodi is one of my favorites ❤️

[@jackiemcmillan9856]

Green River has always been my favorite CCR song ♥️

[@ElDuderino716]

CCR “BORN ON THE BAYOU” and “MIDNIGHT SPECIAL” are absolute musts! And don’t sleep on “I PUT A SPELL ON YOU”!!! You won’t regret it!!!

[@williamcabell142]

CCR....ICONIC SWAMP MUSIC! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SharonS-fn2ym]

This group was huge during the Viet Nam war.

[@conniekat3424]

I was going to request this on the next live...it's one of my favs! So glad y'all did a reaction to it!

[@Frank-pe9pk]

CCR was my first rock album from my grandma in Christmas of 69. They are #1 feel good band ever.

[@andersonhilliard1940]

Simple life,good time,enjoying life,simple blessing,rope swing in the tree,dancing in the moonlight..walk the railroad track hounddog,fidhing,swing in the creeks..GREENRIVER

[@clairemendoza8082]

Definitely a great song!! You should totally react to Run Thru the Jungle and see a live performance of Green River on the Andy Williams show. Towards the end of the song the mic stopped working but John played right thru it! Love you guys!! ❤️❤️🙏

[@brucesaunders2120]

Listen to the song again and appreciate this - the intro is a stone skipping across the water, the instrumental is frogs croaking and mosquitoes buzzing. This interpretation will jump right out at you! This makes Green River possibly the best rock song of all time and as commented by George below, should receive more airplay. Hugely under rated. Maybe because it seems too short - no chorus just 3 short verses and its over but what a masterpiece! If you want more, play it again and again and again....

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

One of their best songs

[@lordluskin1751]

No, just have an acute ear and an understanding of what John was trying to achieve which he did brilliantly!@@BernadetteA

[@jefffogertymusic2023]

This is my dad's band's song, It has been played over 6 million times on standard Radio ( decades before Sirius FM or streaming ) so it has alot of airplay !!! Was Creedence 1st number one hit in England

[@lordluskin1751]

Hi Jeff, back in 1969 I was in Year 11 at High School and don't remember it getting the airplay in Australia that the song deserved. A good way to measure how good CCR and your dad were is to listen to cover versions of Green River and they all mangle it! @@jefffogertymusic2023

[@barbiehodges1915]

Some good Ole southern rock outlaw music- FaNtAsTiC!

[@darthmal]

CCR is my favorite group and this is my favorite song.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Not only my fave CCR song, but one of my fave 10 songs! ♥

[@blackprix]

CCR one of my favorite groups from late 60s early 70s. Love hearing the music again today. One of my favorites from them

[@sdp-co9pq]

Always get a grin watching you 2, keep a rocking

[@Teresa7087]

John said he wrote this in remembrance of family vacations his father used to take him and his brothers along a river in CA.

[@jefffogertymusic2023]

Yep, Green River was the nickname for Putah Creek in Northern California. River ran into what is now Clearlake... my dad is Tom Fogerty and my Uncle is John Fogerty...

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@jefffogertymusic2023 I thought a 'Green River' was a lime Slushie? :^)

[@Roh_Echt]

Headiin' on home to Green River...right now! Let's Go! I'm Ready! *EDIT:* I just got back home within minutes of leaving for Green River....couldn't afford the GAS to get there.

[@ronbusby4596]

Good one!

[@rebeccalipps8007]

My husband is a Green River Man. He has been working barge on the Ohio River for 32 years. He is First Mate on his boat. He is gone 20 days then home 20 which is an improvement on the schedule he had when we first met...home 10 days a month. Every other year he is gone for the big holidays, but I am an independent woman.

[@sdp-co9pq]

Bless him

[@josephdurham6051]

"the working man" has some of the best guitar work CCR ever did. Well worth a listen, as well as "ramble tamble" and "Molina".

[@christinalikoski4937]

Never heard them will check it out Australia 💕 Christina

[@timwilliams3093]

PAGAN BABY...give it a listen yall 🔥🔥🔥

Love CCR from day one & stull listen to it & I am 73!!!!!

[@scottkew6278]

Went to a CCR concert here in the San Francisco Bay Area at Winterland 1969...I THINK this song was performed....I can t remember....I was 14. GREAT GROUP!!!!!!!

[@johneldridge8678]

Great reaction!!! You can NEVER go wrong with CCR!!!

[@debzvideos]

Back in the day, the Chicago Tribune newspaper would have in their Sunday paper a little section called, "Words and Chords" & they would print the words and chords to the hits of the day & they printed a lot of CCR's songs. My sisters & I would love their songs because they were rather easy to play. Simple chords, simple lyrics. Beautiful stuff.

[@jimmygriffin2754]

So simple. Short but sweet!!!

[@rhondalamb7053]

Love CCR great foot tapping hip swinging always to their songs

[@randymccormack4259]

My favourite band since the 70s oh hell yea rock me brothers.

[@odobudo]

A good Song for react is Pagan Baby from the Album Pendulum from 1970, great Song, great guitar, great voice from John Fogerty

[@keef7224]

Talk about a perfect song! 🎸💥

[@angelado3]

[@johndevlin7700]

They were the number one band in the sixties if you look it up they even beat the Beatles

[@petepotaczek2534]

Umbrella I agree with you they're a great band however, ccr sold 50 million albums, the Beatles 600 million.

[@ericbrison3331]

I love watching you guys react to CCR. One of my all time favorite bands. It makes me a little emotional seeing how much you enjoy them.

[@spoonerfive]

Summer of 1969, I was 16 and my parents allowed me to spend the summer working a job on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights NJ. for the summer. I worked at a pizza joint sandwiched between a record wheel where you put your quarter down to win an album, (vinyl only in those days) and a Knock-the-bottles-over with a softball to win giant stuffed animals. The album wheel stand blared the latest popular tunes, and CCR had both Bayou Country and then Green River as huge hits that summer. The Who's Tommy and Pinball Wizard was played a lot then, too, as well as CSN's first album. Music was in full explosion mode back then! I sure had a lot of "firsts" that summer.

[@robertgrambau3942]

Weeping in the promised land John Fogarty lead singer of ccr

[@geneval3151]

Written by John Fogerty, who explained in his Storytellers special: "Green River is really about this place where I used to go as a kid on Putah Creek, near Winters, California. I went there with my family every year until I was ten. Lot of happy memories there. I learned how to swim there. There was a rope hanging from the tree. Certainly dragonflies, bullfrogs. There was a little cabin we would stay in owned by a descendant of Buffalo Bill Cody. That's the reference in the song to Cody Jr. ["Up at Cody's camp I spent my days..."]

[@oldermusiclover]

it was also a old soda as i recall too

[@johndevlin7700]

If you like storytellers you have to check out Red Sorvine teddy bear or Phantom 309 it's old school country one of the best storytellers I've ever heard just my opinion love you guys your reactions are awesome

[@janislohman8125]

Loved your reaction, can't help but dance to this song!

[@aprilleighallred8546]

Hearing all your music I must admit I was lucky to hear the best music ever! Sixties and seventies rock!

[@williamweiss6128]

CCR was the most popular band with me at the time. Watching Joe Namath, Wilt Chamerberlain. Good times.

[@davidmckenzie420]

My favorite CCR song!

[@kyleburns1340]

This music. Ugh. Just sends chills through me. Reminds me of my dad and grandpa and camping. I see Mt. Hood, dirty forest trails and old train tracks. I can literally hear and smell the river

[@gregfarmer707]

Everyone loves "Barefoot Girls Dancing In The Moonlight"!

[@unclebobunclebob]

I only had a passing acquaintance with the lyrics before todaY. Very cool.

[@lynnlobliner3933]

This is my favorite song of theirs but John's most profound song is Don't Look Now

[@michaelmelling9333]

I love CCR. Great Reaction!

[@napluvr4173]

When i hear this song i imagine that it comes from the mind of some 19 year old PFC from Louisiana sitting in a rain filled foxhole in the jungles of Vietnam. You gotta do run through the jungle.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

As you probably realise by now, there is no bad CCR song.

[@larryc3860]

[@dougewing1571]

Green river is a very cool song. You guys will probably have to listen to these songs a few times. But I have always loved this music

[@user-sm2ql7nq4l]

John Fogerty said he got the song title from the soda Green River and came up with this song. Try Lodi and Wrote A Song For Everyone.

[@barbkennedy9382]

When we were teens we would underwear-dip 'lol' in the Green River in N. Central Illinois...partied and camped out all night...loved those times in the mid-70s. More innocent than it sounds. Good times and memories and definitely played some CCR. (edited to say Do some Dr.Hook PLEASE)

[@clydehoppers6375]

NOTHING LIKE ROCKIN OUT WITH CCR !😂

[@janetf23]

It's true, listening to good ole CCR songs can restore your soul. Down on the Corner or Up Around the Bend you'll always find refuge from the troubled world.💘✌
