WE LOVE CCR!!! CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - BORN ON THE BAYOU (REACTION)

[@MusicLover-rt4bs]

For a bunch of guys from California, they way they embodied Swamp Funk is nothing short of masterful. You always feel like you're sitting in the shade, 100 degrees out, and more humidity than a wet sponge.

[@sweetjunegirl]

Yep

[@hillgirlstacy4103]

This is my daddy's band back in the day. He came back from Viet Nam rocking me to to CCR.

[@johndeecee]

I thank your Dad for his service...God bless him

[@svenmartin840]

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

[@berta8924]

I remember my uncle used to play ccr all the time and just listened to the bassline. Damn

[@seanstark5948]

Same same!! Loved them!

[@mikekenask6975]

Much respect to your pops

You guys are a two-person Creedence Clearwater Revival on your own. I love it. I'm a 69-year old white guy from Seattle and I love you

[@hatleyhoward7193]

I wish I could go back in time and listen to CCR for the first time ever. The look on Shawn and Mel’s face is how I looked as a teenager when my dad first played the CCR catalog for his kids…. Pure ‘effing joy.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

My grandma introduced me to CCR at Christmas of 69 with their 1st album. They are in my top 5 all time great bands. Thanks grandma!🥰

[@christinalikoski4937]

You must have had a cool granny 🤫 Australia 💕 Christina

[@josecalderon2036]

Every time I hear this song brings back memories of my mother dancing to this song

[@jemogan]

It was my great aunt for me. She gave us Cosmo's Factory, and it changed my life. I bought a guitar just like John's and started learning all of his songs. To this day whatever band I'm in is required to play Born on the Bayou.

I seen John Forgerty do a live concert [ on tour ] in Canada around four five years ago . His show lasted 2hrs and 20 minutes . He was singing and playing for 95 % of that time . His stamina was unreal . His songs sounded exactly like how they where recorded but with bigger sound . MY ! MY MY! what a show.

One of CCR's unheralded songs is the killer track "Commotion" -- which is on the B-side of the "Bad Moon Rising" 45.

[@bodiespizza]

Your reactions to CCR are pure GOLD! No fakin' the big eargasm/soulgasm at all.

[@georgeralph8031]

No doubt their best signature song, IMHO. The tempo and time signature made for easy dancing, even amongst the most awkward of us teens back in the day....

[@loadedorygun]

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.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

My favorite CCR jam! There's a you tube video out there of a CCR concert with Booker T. and The MGs opening for them playing TIME IS TIGHT (circa 1970). 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.

[@CharlesDuchein]

Baby this is pure Louisiana music. 80 years and spent my life on the Bayou's there. Both of my grandparents on both sides spoke fluent Cajun. Mais yeah! Ca ce some swamp music, Chere.

[@tonidarcy9577]

I just love ❤ watching your reactions!! you two are the best!! keep rockin 🎶✌

[@mikecaetano]

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.

[@GinMae]

Thanks, kids! such an awesome song... lol such a sound.... especially for a bunch of California guys.. , also referred to as and , was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California.

[@Nickolas64]

CCR was and still is one of my all time favorite bands as a kid and now at 58. So much great music came from them. 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...✌️

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

"Chooglin'" and "As long as I can see the light" are a couple more great CCR songs.
