My dad was in Vietnam in 1968 he was twenty-five when he went. But he was considered a grown up. And I remember him having the 8-track in a 65 Ford Galaxie. Taking me and my brother to school. He just recently passed away. And his sons and grandsons are listening to the music. Which will be passed on from generation to generation

LA is one of the five states I’ve never been to (Bama and MS are two of the others) but this is exactly what I imagine the bayou life sounds like. Mid tempo, half Cajun half blues, with vocals that sound like howlin wolf coming up out of a swamp. Other than the extended version of Susie Q, I think this is peak CCR.

John Fogerty and band are watching from backstage grinning in total awe of Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Donald 'Duck' Dunn and Al Jackson (the MGs) - you need to see the group that helped define the Memphis Soul sound in the early '60s.

No doubt they've got Louisiana in their hearts. El Cerrito is in Contra Costa County, which to the East extends to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in Northern California, parts of which can be very swampy -- in a few places the people who still live there reside in houses built on stilts and the like. Every year various communities across the larger region even host shrimp and crawdad festivals as well. And the City of Lodi is located at the western end of the delta. Fogerty wrote his proto-country rock classic, "Lodi", about a singer who is forced to make the best of getting stuck there. In reality it's a really nice place, but maybe too slow paced a place for bored teenagers.

They played at Woodstock but went on quite early in the morning and you don't see much footage of them. Anyway you want to hear a good longer tune with some harmonica in it... Check out Graveyard Train... It for me anyway is a close your eyes type tune being laid back absorbing the vibes... Check it out you should dig it...✌️
