Classic. When you're ready for more from Creedence Clearwater Revival also check out some of these tunes -- "Suzie Q", "Run Through The Jungle", "I Put A Spell On You", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Down On The Corner", "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Green River", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Fortunate Son", "Don't Look Now", "Lodi" ...
CCR was one of classic rock's finest bands. Their whole catalog is worth a listen. While I enjoy Doug Clifford's drum work, it's John Fogerty's strident vocal and underrated guitar playing that bring it home for me.
I listened to this cassette with my family from Wisconsin to Florida in the back of a non air conditioned car in 1969 or 70 ish only tape so hours and hours, with 3 in the back seat, and I still love this song. I was young, not any where near old enough to drive. It was July.
Ha my brother who was five years older than me bought this album in July 69. I remember visiting my uncle in San Jose that summer. We listened to this album for a week, I was 13.
The album Bayou Country was released in January 1969. In March, I saw Creedence at Fillmore West with Jethro Tull second on the bill. John and the boys smoked! It was a good time to be a Bay Area local and in college.
This came out when I was a kid. We had an overgrown orchid beyond the lawn, quite private and I would play out there naked. We also had a beagle who would howl. When I heard this song dancing with my older sisters, it made me feel so good! As an older person now, the nostalgia of this song is still as strong as ever! Like it’s tied with a beautiful bow! And yes…it’s cowbell. Love your reactions young man! Kindred spirit, I dance to anything too! 😽💋🎶💕
Saw ccr,saw John Fogerty solo and he’s one of the best… Try chooglin and heard it thru the grapevine,both long versions.. Also give centerfield,bootleg and old man down the road a try..thanks
Great observation about the vocals really having a real flow. When you listen real hard like you say, or rather, if you listen frequently for that, which I always do, John Fogerty was really damn good at it. You know who else was? Elvis Presley. A lot of people or, of course, and it's a joy to behold. But it's interesting because I've listened to so much Elvis especially the early stuff, breaking it down, and he's so rhythmic with his delivery.
Well, I've listened to most of CCR's discography & I won't hesitate to say that *Born On The Bayou* is their all-time best song, period. There are several others of their earlier songs that I really like nearly as much, but they're all on the 1st three of CCR's studio albums. I never really cared all that much for their later 'pop' songs that got a lot of air play, cuz they all seemed to lack the inspiration behind their earlier songs IMO Those of their earlier songs I consider Must Listen: *Susie Q, I Put A Spell On You, Penthouse Pauper, Ninety-Nine & a Half, Green River, Fortunate Son* & of course *Born On The Bayou.* *Proud Mary* was also sort of decent, but most of their other 'hits' were mostly a shoulder shrug for me...
I've heard the "hits" so many times from the 70s until today, those hits became earwax to me. I still like them, but the deep cuts from those albums. That's what I'm interested in. Nobody does the deep cuts (except Tre Narcisse - Fish Out Of Water) - You should definiitely try some, like "Gloomy", "Walk On The Water" or "The Penthouse Pauper" or the CCR jam: "Keep On Chooglin'".
The more CCR you listen to, the larger your playlist will grow. I don't think they did a bad song, but I always come back to Bad Moon Rising.

You forgot Sweet Hitchhiker and As Long as I Can See the Light. Both great songs!

Yes to that being a cowbell -- as far as I know.
This would always get people out on the floor to dance, a favorite to jam to in bar bands. Great groove. Enjoy your reactions, thanks.

Same here. Saw them 5 times.
@@gregorystathos6085 I saw them a 2nd time in May with Northern California Youth Choir and Bangor Flying Circus on the bill.
CCR was a hit machine, with the band existing from '67-'72.
Roughly the same period as The Doors, '65-'71.
Love this song!!!
I was living down the bayou on Bayou DuLarge southwest of New Orleans when this was released. Great times indeed.
I absolutely love the bass guitar line on this. Such a groovy swampy vibe, the whole thing is just genius and it feels so good.
That's Doug Clifford on drums .
Great drummer. Very underrated.
A great CCR song. Their signature swampy rock with a huge dose of soul.
This is the song that I always tell people to listen to when trying to describe CCR.
Thanks for reacting to this great old song! 😊
This is the most Voodoo soundtrack I've ever heard
The best CCR tune is whichever one is playing.
Well said, you!

Hey, Ace, if you liked the drums on this CCR track, you'll love the drumming on "Traveling Band"

CCR is ABSOLUTE FIRE 🔥
They are from California. I'm from Louisiana and was actually born on the Bayou. Love CCR❤ and great reaction.
Saw ccr,saw John Fogerty solo and he’s one of the best…
Try chooglin and heard it thru the grapevine,both long versions..
Also give centerfield,bootleg and old man down the road a try..thanks
And these guys are from California!

Bad Ass!!!! Blues Banger!!!
one of the best songs in the70's
This is my favorite CCR tune too, Ace! I thought it might eventually get you moving..😁 Your good taste shines through yet again.

Hypnotic, yes hypnotic...
Cowbell 100%.
keep on chooglin--ccr
Pure!
❤❤❤❤❤
"a jooblin' on down to New Orleans"
Likely ‘When the Levee Breaks’. The Zeppelin song that’s closest to this feel.
Need to do SWEET HICH HIKER and UP AROUND THE BEND by CCR
You must react to CCR's LONG VERSION of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine".
I've heard the "hits" so many times from the 70s until today, those hits became earwax to me. I still like them, but the deep cuts from those albums. That's what I'm interested in. Nobody does the deep cuts (except Tre Narcisse - Fish Out Of Water) - You should definiitely try some, like "Gloomy", "Walk On The Water" or "The Penthouse Pauper" or the CCR jam: "Keep On Chooglin'".
I second this.
Swampy!!
Try John Fogarty songs called ( Hot Rod Heart / Rambunctious Boy )
Kind of takes you away, doesn't it ?
