@@richardjones9007 That’s a great point and man I love Hendrix so it pains me to say I’d probably take CCR’s best three over the the incredible Jimi trilogy.
"Fogerty, who is from the very unswamplike Berkeley, California, got his first look at a bayou courtesy of John Fred, the one-hit wonder who sang "Judy In Disguise (with Glasses)." Fred was from Louisiana, and when Creedence played a show in Baton Rouge in 1969, he met Fogerty at a rehearsal and offered to take him to a real bayou. They drove 15 minutes to Bayou Forche, where they ate some crabs and crayfish, giving Fogerty the idea for this song".
There is no bayou forche in Louisiana. You are referring to Bayou Lafourche but it's not 15 minutes from Baton Rouge. Btw, we don't spell crawfish as crayfish, ever. Not trying to rain on your parade but I don't like misinformation being put out about South Louisiana (my people) from people that aren't even from there.
You can't go wrong with CCR, John Fogerty wrote everything in that band, great songwriter, guitarist and vocalist and he's still killing it today, total living legend. "Up Around the Bend" is the most "aggressive" happy song I've ever heard, he just has that grit in his voice that works with everything he sings.
John wrote everything except on CCR's final studio album Mardi Gras (1972). By that point, his brother Tom had already quit the band in favor of a solo career, and his relationship with the remaining band members was strained because they wanted more say into the band's business decisions and creative input. Before recording said album, John basically gave bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford an ultimatum that they had to write and sing their own songs or else he'd would quit. Mardi Gras had 10 tracks, only 4 of which were sung by John.
He was a big fan of the culture and sounds of Louisiana. He did a cover of “Dont Mess With My Toot Toot” which is a zydeco song by Rockin Sydney. Few outside of south central Louisiana would know who that is. My girlfriends grandfather produced that song and it won a Grammy for best folk song so it did have some commercial success back then. Had no idea Fogerty covered it until we got to talking about the song and so I had to look it up. As always he kills his rendition. Always feels authentic and he really treated the culture here with love. That’s why CCR will always be a favorite of mine.
It kind of reminds me of Jim Nabors, and how his speaking voice from Gomer Pyle's was so different. And his singing voice was so different from his speaking voices.
CCR had a unique blend of music that encompassed Blues, Country, Soul, Rockabilly, Gospel and Folk music that appealed to people from many walks of life. It's the reason they were so successful and sold so many records IMO.
“I put a spell on you” is amazing with killer guitar work, and the grit in John’s vocals is the best ever from them. When he hits the lyrics “because you’re mine”. Oh man….
that first album has so many great lead guitar parts from track one to the last track. It's my favorite album by them. Not completely polished yet. Raw bluesrock with killer guitar solos.
They really did do their homework cause "Hoodoo" is the black magic practition that most people confuse with "Voodoo" which is actually just a religion. CCR are like a good ol pair of trusty blue jeans. Pure classic rock.
The first time I heard CCR was March 1969. I was in basic training at Fort Bragg, NC and Viet Nam bound. Proud Mary was playing on all the radio stations and we only had radio in the mess hall. Fun times dancing with a mop during KP. Say what you will, but Creedence Clearwater Revival was the gold standard during the late 60's and early 70's....
At that time I was 8 yrs old already listening to n loving CCR, an uncle constantly started playing their album in 67/68. Been playing their music for most of my life, love all of his songs, he's an incredible musician all around*
I was 19 in 1969 and Fayetteville was like New York City to me. Never seen so many tall buildings, and I was on Hay Street. By 01/29/1969 I was at Ft Bragg@@Millerman57
Hey guys, I'm a drummer from New Orleans, LA, and the bands I've played in who covered this song would always get into such a smooth, blues groove with this one. We could just rock it and stay in such a sweet pocket that it was always a crowd pleaser down here.
"The Working Man", "Down on the Corner", "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and the ballad "Long As I Can See the Light" are some of my favorites. But you can't go wrong with any of their songs.
CCR makes me think of my parents. I remember a story they told me years ago. They were traveling from Indiana to California 1973. My mom was pregnant with my sister and they were headed to Fort Ord where my dad was stationed in the Army. The beat up Oldsmobile they had at the time (my dad was 20 my mom 18) had an 8 track player. There was an 8-track cassette stuck in the player - CCR. When they couldn't catch a radio station they rocked CCR on repeat. They'd play CCR records when I was little and there was just something unique and interesting about their music. Great band.
Side note, I’m a military wife, moved from Honolulu to Newport, RI when I was about 7 1/2 months pregnant. Flew to LA, picked up our Grand Cherokee, and drove cross country to our new home. We called it the “Potties of America” trip, because I’m pretty sure we stopped at every single one between LA and Newport, lol. My son was born about 6 weeks later, he was nearly 9 lbs., no wonder my poor bladder couldn’t take it!
My mother was a music teacher, she raised me on music like this....I'm a metal bass player now,but...this right here, this is legit...CCR is no joke! Thanks for doing this 1 guys!
Let's call it reborn on the bayou... People ask me why I watch reaction videos. Three reasons: 1. I love to see people connect with music that I like. 2. Often times a little bit of biography is brought up, or analysis of lyrics which can often be informative/thought provoking. 3. I find new music from recommended reactions and from the comments. The first time I ever heard megadeth was "Holy Wars" on your guys' channel. What a payoff! Rust in Peace has made it into my top 20 albums and probably top 3 metal albums. Never would have found that gem or many other songs if it was not for channels like yours and the crowd they attract. Glad to see you guys still on the grind. Be well and peace out!
Number 3 is big for me. I’ve found artist I never would otherwise. The best example is “Shoshana Bean- make it rain.” Live at the ace hotel. Some musical theatre chick gave possibly the best live performance I’ve ever seen.
"I put a spell on you" is one that you will not regret listening to. You can't go wrong with any of CCR's work, but that song is one I think you both would really enjoy.
Heard this song on the radio in 1969...and ....I fell in love with CCR!!!! John Fogerty's voice is the most unique and soulful vocals in music history!!! "Good Golly Miss Molly" is another great song from CCR which is a cover song too but the band does it very well!!!
CCR is one of those timeless bands. It doesn't matter how old you are, you're gonna love the sound they create. Looking out my back door is one of my favourites. I think John wrote it for his kids and it's such a happy song, it lifts your mood instantly.
As a Cuban-American from Miami, you guys are on the money about Al in Scarface! Dude is so on point, he was more Cuban than some actual Cubans I know 😂 Great channel! Love your content and always enjoy your interpretations of my classic rock favorites.
John Fogerty's raspy vocals and lead guitar are fantastically basic but with a very visceral beat that creates an incredible and tight groove to their music. CCR has so many great jamming tunes in their library.
I am white but the son of a Jamaican. Raised in the 60s and 70s. I was brought up on the greats of reggae Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh, and the other greats. I have a great appreciation for all genres of music even classical. CCR is my favorite band to listen to when I am out in the back country of Canada. White water canoeing is at a other level when I have CCR playing taking on the currents. Love this band. Thank you for reviewing this and others. Their music really makes you feel like you are out with nature (bayou/everglades/back country).
"Cotton Fields" blew my mind the first time I ever heard it because of all the years I've loved listening to Cuando Yo Era Un Jovencito by Ramon Ayala and never knew.
I’ve seen every huge band of the 70’s. Stones,Floyd, Zepplin in ‘77, but John Foggarty was the best and most enjoyable show I’ve ever seen. Every single song was incredible. He is a great musician.
I just found you guys and I love your chemistry. I am a disabled Army Veteran and am 61 years young, I love the fact that you guys are open to any type of music. You make me laugh, smile and I can’t wait to look at your work, now that I am a subscriber 😊🥰🤗. God speed.
I'm so happy right now. CCR is so underrated IMO. John's voice cuts right through you like knife. Instantly recognizable. You can't help but crank them up. And they broke up long before I was born. But great music is great music. Whoo-hoo! Thanks, G & R! ✌️❤️😊🎶
Unless you are already familiar with The Band, I am quite surprised that you have yet to react to the most talented rock n' roll, rock-a-billy, country rock, folk rock, and blues rock band of all time, The Band. Their contemporaries like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, etc. have stated that listening to The Band made them want to create better music. When you listen to The Band I am confident that you will feel silly for not having listened to them earlier, while at the same time your souls will feel enriched.
Meh...Old enough to have grown up listening to The Band. Saw Scorcese's The Last Waltz when it first came out. There were many great musicians making music during that time.
@@Ceelle2 I feel like the songs they made that were great were as great as anything else by anyone else. But it's just a few songs, and the rest feel meh to me. I have three of their songs as all-time classics in my playlist. I would only play the rest as background music that I had no intention of paying attention to.
To me, this song and Green River are their pinnacle. Get so lost in the sauce , but there’s there’s this driving intensity pushing and pushing at the same time.
CCR is so great man. Yall should check out Midnight Special , Run through the jungle, long as I can see the light, sweet hitch hiker , green river, lodi... I can go on
I love watching them playing this song at Albert Hall in England. I go to that site frequently and it looks like they were having such a great time. And they just killed it.
I see you groovin'.🥰 Great song! I've loved CCR since my uncle introduced them to me in the early '70's and I just turned 60 last month. I love your reactions. I recently became a Patreon member because I love you both so much.💖
My opinion....not many bands that our more badass then CCR. The content they put out in a short time... amazing. Check out John Forgery's Centerfield from the 80s.
What's freaking AMAZING is that ccr put out almost 30 songs that are now considered all time classics. Everyone knows them... in just 3 years. 6 xs more classics than most bands do in a 30 year career
All Rock n Roll is based on the Blues fellas. Blues is the beginning of EVERYTHING when it comes to Rock n Roll. If you didnt have Blues you literally could not have Rock n Roll. Great reaction.
Off their debut album CCR did a cover of "I Put a Spell On You" and I think it embodies their signature sound. You are correct when you say they had to immerse themselves in the music. They had a high school band and in their earliest recordings you can hear that they were searching for something because they were all over the place. Then for a real jam they did a cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" that is 11 minutes long. Great music!
i grew up on a stack of 45 singles from these guys that my uncle gave to me when i was 9 years old. Check "Long As I Can See The Light" Right in your guys wheelhouse. Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays! Peace!
This song will forever take me back to the summer of 69, cruising' Wesley Street with Bobby Woodard in his brown Corvette, with the killer 8 track tape player...such a great time to be alive!!!
Heard Creedence for the first time in the summer of 68. I was in my high school locker room during two a day football practices in the middle of a hot August. Our all-county linebacker from Alabama, cranked up "Suzi Q", which was Creedence's first hit. It blew me away. A pure 20-minute jam. Not the usual 4-minute pop song on the radio. Anyone who went to Vietnam will tell you that this was the favorite band of the grunts. It broke my heart when they broke up around 69. After 30 something years of litigation over song rights, and BS, John Fogarty won in court his right to play the music he wrote, played lead guitar, mixed, and produced. Oh yeah, and he was the lead singer too! I finally got to see Fogarty at a casino in New Mexico. He did not disappoint!
I played this LP (Credence Gold actually) so much I still remember every pop & click that particular piece of vinyl had on it. One of the first songs I could play all the way through on guitar.
this is from 1969. It's one of their first songs ever recorded. This some Funky shit. Love this Band. Was going to Vietnam when this came out aat age 18. I'm an old man now, but this is still damn good music. Thanks fellas.
CCR is the soundtrack of my early chikldhood. It's summertime, house parties, and running around with my cousins while my dad and uncles shoot pool or play cards in the basement. It's still my go-to for happy music. You can't feel down listening to CCR.
My Brothers of different mothers, I want to say I've dug and groved to the channel for a few years, I don't think I've had much to say bcuz you say it all. On the vibe with this song, don't know if you have reacted, but you MUST, MUST try the Marshall Tucker Band, "Can't You See". Lead singer looks like young George Thoroughgood in the early video. It's blues as all hell.
I have thought about this for months. While the length is apparent during a concentrated listen, when I’m having a drink at a venue and this song is playing, I never want it to end.
First time here and thank you for a great video! Being a oilfield boat mate running offshore supply boats in Louisiana this song brings back so many memories of the Gulf of Mexico. Fighting 20 foot seas to the sea of glass which the Gulf of Mexico can bring to you what better sound to hear than CCR and Born on The Bayou. Also a good feeling coming into the Mississippi River at Southwest Pass heading to Venice La to dock to offload and reload oilfield equipment, fuel and potable water for the rig waiting for the weather to calm down this is the song to bring those memories back. I had this life for over 20 years and I thank God for giving me the ability to run these boats. Thanks again and take care!
I can't hear this song without thinking of the 80s cheese classic Return of The Swamp Thing. that being said it's fn iconic and his vocal performance is out of this world.
![Couple React To Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born On The Bayou [Requested by@andyandalex ]](/img/1.gif)
What this band accomplished in a mere three years is absolutely mind blowing.
Rubicon, how cool would it have been to se how they grew and changed through the years?
Almost as remarkable as what Hendrix was able to do in three years
@@richardjones9007 That’s a great point and man I love Hendrix so it pains me to say I’d probably take CCR’s best three over the the incredible Jimi trilogy.

His solo albums are pretty good too
+ arranger and producer
He also sang and played every instrument on his solo album Blue Ridge Rangers..He played the sax on Long as I can see the light
@@kajabrill2404 And lots of organ & Wurlitzer on Pendulum. Multi-talented

This song could go on for 20 minutes and I wouldn't get tired of it. The groove is just such nourishment for the soul.
Amen and AMEN BROTHER !!
It's like watching a thunderstorm go by!
Tru dat!! 😉
A long form jam if I ever heard one.
A good workout song, too!
Their version of “ I put a spell on you” is fantastic
Live version.❤️
@@deborahstrickland9845 yes
Good Golly Miss Molly is outstanding, too...a cover of Little Richard. Great guitar tone in that solo.
Yep, Midnight Special 👍
REACT TO " OBITUARY - BLINDSIDED " PLEASEEEEEEEEEE 🙏😭 Yall are going to enjoy it ALOT heavy & groovy.
Fogerty being from California, singing Louisiana swamp music, with a Jersey accent may be the greatest thing life has ever offered to us as a species.
He was a big fan of the culture and sounds of Louisiana. He did a cover of “Dont Mess With My Toot Toot” which is a zydeco song by Rockin Sydney.

It kind of reminds me of Jim Nabors, and how his speaking voice from Gomer Pyle's was so different. And his singing voice was so different from his speaking voices.
Haha agreed 😊
That’s a Cajun accent. They say “ hoid” for “ heard” like they do in Jersey.
My favorite CCR song. Absolutely a masterpiece.
I agree but Bad Moon Rising and Suzy Q are pretty great.
@@fractuss Proud Mary and Run Through The Jungle are up there too for me
Psychedelics lol
@@420_momentum Fogerty and band never touched that stuff while working. That music is way too focused and worked-out to be from druggies.
I’m from Louisiana, bayou country. This is the song. Nuff said.
What I love about this song is ... Patience. They ride the groove and they let it shine and they wait to drop the next verse.
CCR had a unique blend of music that encompassed Blues, Country, Soul, Rockabilly, Gospel and Folk music that appealed to people from many walks of life. It's the reason they were so successful and sold so many records IMO.
and some psychedelic

@@stevedotwood oh man that first album is perfection start to finish.
YES! DARE TO SAY SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.
It's unbelievable to think they put out so many bangers in essentially just 4 years!!
The brightest flames burn quickest.
It’s truly unbelievable. Just like Hendrix: 4years of pure magic.
This fact is something I only learnt about a few months ago and it still spins me out!
Yeah, but they fought in court over their songs for forty years.
Creedence was on a tiny label with zero promotion.
The bass in this song is amazing and it hits hard
This band is criminally overlooked.
They really did do their homework cause "Hoodoo" is the black magic practition that most people confuse with "Voodoo" which is actually just a religion. CCR are like a good ol pair of trusty blue jeans. Pure classic rock.
Mississippi Hoodoo Man from Omar and the Howlers. Also, Running through the Canebrake.

@@Ceelle2 I feel like the songs they made that were great were as great as anything else by anyone else. But it's just a few songs, and the rest feel meh to me. I have three of their songs as all-time classics in my playlist. I would only play the rest as background music that I had no intention of paying attention to.
Cult band Gun Club should not be slept on....
Could never get into them , great musicians obviously but just never had the songs to my ears .
The reaction to The Band music is over there - - - - - - - >
You guys complement each other so well! I love it when you do the ‘70’s songs 🙂
This and Run Through the Jungle are the hardest Creedence songs I know about.
I would give sinister purpose a listen
This song makes my want to head back south! Love the vibe and grit from CCR. Great comments guys, thank you!!!
"I Put A Spell On You" is on another level by them (if that's possible). Highly recommend checking it out.
Fogerty has a kick ass voice!
You can not go wrong with CCR. John Fogerty is incredible.
I love these guys!
Can never go wrong with CCR. Always brightens the mood
To me, this song and Green River are their pinnacle. Get so lost in the sauce , but there’s there’s this driving intensity pushing and pushing at the same time.
RUN THOUGH THE JUNGLE = next CCR song.
CCR is so great man. Yall should check out Midnight Special , Run through the jungle, long as I can see the light, sweet hitch hiker , green river, lodi... I can go on
Run through the jungle!
@@Wildman70892 the big lebowski!
Keep on Chooglin
Finally some good music again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You could do a CCR marathon and no one would complain
Love from California. Great band. I was 5 when that song came out, grew up on them. Grew up to love them.
"Pagan Baby" is one of the best songs done by CCR in my opinion! I think you guys would love that one.
I love watching them playing this song at Albert Hall in England. I go to that site frequently and it looks like they were having such a great time. And they just killed it.
CCR, even though only together for 6 yrs, has a huge catalog of hit music. So many great tunes. "Up Around The Bend" is a jam.
I see you groovin'.🥰 Great song! I've loved CCR since my uncle introduced them to me in the early '70's and I just turned 60 last month. I love your reactions. I recently became a Patreon member because I love you both so much.💖
My opinion....not many bands that our more badass then CCR. The content they put out in a short time... amazing. Check out John Forgery's Centerfield from the 80s.
Right?!
6 killer albums in just over 2 years is ridiculous. Full of bangers too.
They don’t make bands like that anymore.
Old Chicago is pretty amazing as well
This channel just puts a smile on my face. Fun to listen to you guys and just appreciating everyone for what they contribute. You guys are awesome
You owe it to yourself to hear their version of “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” by far the best, and that’s not easy to do!!!!
What's freaking AMAZING is that ccr put out almost 30 songs that are now considered all time classics. Everyone knows them... in just 3 years. 6 xs more classics than most bands do in a 30 year career
John Fogarty called his particular sound Swamp Rock. That is his signature sound.
All Rock n Roll is based on the Blues fellas. Blues is the beginning of EVERYTHING when it comes to Rock n Roll. If you didnt have Blues you literally could not have Rock n Roll. Great reaction.
Off their debut album CCR did a cover of "I Put a Spell On You" and I think it embodies their signature sound. You are correct when you say they had to immerse themselves in the music. They had a high school band and in their earliest recordings you can hear that they were searching for something because they were all over the place. Then for a real jam they did a cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" that is 11 minutes long. Great music!
I used to turn my nose up at CCR but now I appreciate just how hard thru nailed it and the groove cannot be denied
I listen to a lot of music and I always call this my favorite song of all time
Same
i grew up on a stack of 45 singles from these guys that my uncle gave to me when i was 9 years old. Check "Long As I Can See The Light" Right in your guys wheelhouse. Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays! Peace!
This song will forever take me back to the summer of 69, cruising' Wesley Street with Bobby Woodard in his brown Corvette, with the killer 8 track tape player...such a great time to be alive!!!
Did you customize car speakers back then?
Heard Creedence for the first time in the summer of 68. I was in my high school locker room during two a day football practices in the middle of a hot August. Our all-county linebacker from Alabama, cranked up "Suzi Q", which was Creedence's first hit. It blew me away. A pure 20-minute jam. Not the usual 4-minute pop song on the radio. Anyone who went to Vietnam will tell you that this was the favorite band of the grunts. It broke my heart when they broke up around 69. After 30 something years of litigation over song rights, and BS, John Fogarty won in court his right to play the music he wrote, played lead guitar, mixed, and produced. Oh yeah, and he was the lead singer too! I finally got to see Fogarty at a casino in New Mexico. He did not disappoint!
I have so many memories to CCR's music.
"Sounds like struggle."
Well put, good sir.
I played this LP (Credence Gold actually) so much I still remember every pop & click that particular piece of vinyl had on it. One of the first songs I could play all the way through on guitar.
this is from 1969. It's one of their first songs ever recorded. This some Funky shit. Love this Band. Was going to Vietnam when this came out aat age 18. I'm an old man now, but this is still damn good music.
Thanks fellas.
I would definitely recommend Down On The Corner and Up Around The Bend! Honestly, you really can't go wrong with CCR.
CCR is the soundtrack of my early chikldhood. It's summertime, house parties, and running around with my cousins while my dad and uncles shoot pool or play cards in the basement. It's still my go-to for happy music. You can't feel down listening to CCR.
So many great CCR songs. “Run Through The Jungle”, “Lookin’ Out My Backdoor”, “Green River”,etc. all fantastic imo.
Refuse to believe no American hasn’t heard this band or voice before 😂 So unique!
My Brothers of different mothers, I want to say I've dug and groved to the channel for a few years, I don't think I've had much to say bcuz you say it all. On the vibe with this song, don't know if you have reacted, but you MUST, MUST try the Marshall Tucker Band, "Can't You See". Lead singer looks like young George Thoroughgood in the early video. It's blues as all hell.
One of my favorites.
@@bakerinthehouse5346 the flute to open and the pain inside. Almost like Allman brothers "Whipping Post" end the end meaning
I have thought about this for months. While the length is apparent during a concentrated listen, when I’m having a drink at a venue and this song is playing, I never want it to end.
John Foggerty is just a savant, his music communicates straight into your mind and creates pictures
First time here and thank you for a great video! Being a oilfield boat mate running offshore supply boats in Louisiana this song brings back so many memories of the Gulf of Mexico. Fighting 20 foot seas to the sea of glass which the Gulf of Mexico can bring to you what better sound to hear than CCR and Born on The Bayou. Also a good feeling coming into the Mississippi River at Southwest Pass heading to Venice La to dock to offload and reload oilfield equipment, fuel and potable water for the rig waiting for the weather to calm down this is the song to bring those memories back. I had this life for over 20 years and I thank God for giving me the ability to run these boats. Thanks again and take care!
I can't hear this song without thinking of the 80s cheese classic Return of The Swamp Thing. that being said it's fn iconic and his vocal performance is out of this world.
Me too can’t help but see Heather Locklear too
@@Priasbcbeist yeeeessss
Credence is life. Ramble Tramble is a pure psychedelic bayou banger 🔥
That was the first song I ever learned from them, awesome tune to jam to.
REACT TO " OBITUARY - BLINDSIDED " PLEASEEEEEEEEEE 🙏😭 Yall are going to enjoy it ALOT heavy & groovy.
I could listen to “Ramble Tamble” every day.
It's a masterpiece 😁👍👍👍👍
