It’s just different country. Just like comparing 50’s rock and roll to 80’s rock and roll. Isn’t it great that we have so many decades of great music from which to choose? 😃
The song is so light and nostalgic, but then the ending is kind of ominous. The old man warning him he's gonna grow up and go out into the world with big dreams and goals, but he's going to find a world in chaos and confusion. Also, the best advice ever: "When you get lost, go back to the simple things like home, friends and family." Also, this album sounds just as good and fresh today as it did 50+ years ago.
CCR is nothing but pure good times and relaxing with your friends and family music. There's nothing you can't do that doesn't sound better with them. As for floating down the river you guys ever make it to Arizona you are our guests on the Salt River beautiful atmosphere wild horses everywhere.
Wow, this is my #1 favorite CCR song. And "Barefoot girls, dancing in the moonlight", is my favorite CCR lyric. Songs like this had me convinced CCR were southerners. John Fogerty adapted that life to his music so well. Glad you guys enjoyed this song.
Me, too. My favorite CCR song. Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight is such an iconic image, it almost haunts me. My son, his wife and I saw Fogarty with John Mellencamp at Red Rocks several years ago. He played all the CCR classics except for Green River. But, happily, he did it at the encore. Great times, indeed.
John Fogerty. A kid from California who was inspired by Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry. He wrote all those great CCR songs, sang them in his gritty wonderful voice and blessed us with his talents.
California has total Country areas. I grew up in Huntington Beach & we had 2 lakes with old wooden rafts that the first people in the summer that the first people who showed up , would claim for the day. We went lizard & snake hunting & We had horse stables all around the strawberry & mushroom farms. We went barefoot all summer. Great Hillbilly Living !😀😀😀
I used to run sound for my friend's band, when they got to the "WELLLL" I'd kick up the reverb on his voice to 10. He hated it but the crowds really got into it.
Oooh, been ages since I've heard this! I think this makes NINE CCR songs youv'e done, but there are a lot more bangers. "Suzie Q", "Lodi", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through the Jungle", and, of course, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (first recorded by Gladys Knight & The PIps and later immortalized by Marvin Gaye).
I grew up in a river town & spent every Summer weekend out on the river swimming, boating, skiing..& there were cookouts & parties on the banks or sandbars. I was in high school when this song was being played everywhere & I literally was a "barefoot girl dancing in the moonlight"..& sometimes to this very song. Wonderful memories. 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙
@@kelvinscott9212 I'm doing okay, I'm having problems with my esophagus, acid reflux and trouble speaking an swollen food but other than that I'm still dancing in the moonlight. Rocking out.
I can remember our school's cheer-leaders doing routines to this song in 1970; the kind of music that makes you nostalgic for a place you've never been. Good stuff!
So this song Country, Rock, Blue a mix of Blue Rock Country or Rock Blue but definitely nothing to do with Country something else ? Who's got the answer ?
CCR’s finest work is “Ramble Tamble”. Before they became famous June Millington of Fanny shared a stage with CCR at a bowling alley. Hope you play some more Fanny for Female Friday.
Great CCR song. Was surprised, have never seen the video! Thanks. Grew up with this tune, classic. Let's go to the water, some where. Thanks for this memory.
This song is about John Fogerty reminiscing about growing up next to Putah Creek in California. He changed the name for the songs sake. I grew up on a farm next to the San Joaquin River in California making this song a personal reminiscence of my own youth. Swimming, fishing, and skipping stones. Truly blissful.
In a Fogerty interview I read many years ago, he stated that he was at an ice-cream shop and saw on the menus that there was a treat called "Green River" that had green syrup running down a blob of ice-cream and so he supposedly took the name from that. (I know it sounds strange and even disappointing, but that's what he said in the interview.)
@@donaldwhite1928 Spent many of days at the Kings River fishing and of coarse rafting from Goodfellow to Reedley Beach. We may have crossed paths. As young children we would catch crawdads up by the dam for our Dads to use as bait. The crawdads were everywhere back then. That was before they fenced it off around the dam. It has been about four years since I last fished there. Guess it's time to dig out the fishing gear. I'm getting the itch just thinking about it.
I love when you throw in little glimpses of your past together "back in college Jay and I would love float down the river". Sounds like an adorable date. 😊🚣♀️ *I think a subscriber kayak trip with you guys would be a blast! 😃 **For your next CCR tune, you should consider "Travelin' band". It's only like 2 minutes long but, a straight banger!
In Oregon, we used to float the river too. I miss it. Especially the Clackamas River float. A long, few hours of slow floating with nothing but an inter tube and nature ❤
That's why it's one of my favorite CCR songs reminds me of my summers floating the river in a tube, drinking a pop while lazily coasting the rapids. Now I enjoy floating on the Guadalupe river in Gruene Tx. Taking a cooler stalked with Miller Lites, and blonde IPAs, or O'Douls and just being in old tennis shoes you don't mind messing up from the river algae. Just had to be careful not to get in stagnant water cuz Amibas would get ya. Or the leeches. I loved swinging like Tarzan into the water as well. I used to go Garner State Park in Texas in the summers and go for 3 days and two nights right before Summer would be over for me and school was in the next week or so. But the camping and floating on the river was strictly for fun, take mind off of the dreadful upcoming school year and just chill out and unwind as well as grill out. Steak skirts, beer burgers, brats, etc. Make greasy onion rings to with the Beer Burgers. You guys ever heard of or eaten any Beer burgers before? Just asking
When i was 16 or 17 we went to dance in Santa Clara California at a little dance club. We were there for all the girls. But I remember one band that stood out..The Goliwogs. Later they became CCR and i enjoy tell this story that I knew them when. I am now 74 a subcriber and enjoy you two every night.
Green River is one of my all-time favorite songs and I would be totally down with a float trip. My old bones can't do the long hikes anymore but I can still paddle a canoe. It would be a blast.
When I was in high school in the 1970s we'd do float trips down the Current River in Missouri and had this one playing on the radio/ cassette boom box! Great going down the lazy river song! Do it!
I just love y’all! I’m from the SF Bay Area but have lived in Arkansas over 20 years now. I enjoy watching y’all discover the music I’ve loved for 40 - 50 years! Your positive vibes and encouragement to spread joy is infectious. Keep doing what you do. I am here for it!❤🎉
This is one of my favorite CCR songs. Fogerty wrote it about a place in Northern California his family used to vacation at when he was a kid. It was actually Putah Creek, outside of Winters. The creek was dammed to make Lake Berryessa. I think the stretch of the valley John has these memories of is under the lake now.
Floated the river a lot and would jump off Combs Bridge, from the rail, in the early 70’s. A few would jump off the top! I see they’ve build a new one to replace it. Had good friends who lived at Peyton’s Place and sometimes would hike up to and slide down Sparrow Hawk cliffs in the fall and winter when leaves were on the ground; long handles under jeans with leather gloves to grab small trees to slow yourself down! The hike back up was a bitch! Some of the greatest days of my life back then, living back in Tulsa now.
Rope swing!!! Oh, the memories... Camping on the way to Alaska... The pond in the woods at the base of Mendenhall Glacier 500 yards from our house... Ooooohhh, yeah...
CCR is the best! I would love to see you react to “I Put a Spell on You”. Fogerty’s voice could take the paint off the walls when he does the vocals for Screamin Jay Hawkins’ song! Rock on 🌺✌️
Yes more CCR. Another hit, with hit after hit. I had to laugh when I heard they mentioned BULLFROGS.... Amber's favourite. Lol Next "Proud Mary" where my love started for them. Glad you love them. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
This is my favorite CCR song. My cousin had a band in which he was the drummer. We went to hear them play and the did this song. We asked who was singing. It was my cousin who sounded just likke Fogerty. We had no idea he could even sing. Great memory.
their album Cosmo's Factory was the first album i ever bought with my own money, and you couldn't go wrong with any track from that album. a few songs from it have been mentioned below.
If you are looking for a great concert to go to. Keep an eye open for the next time John Fogerty comes to your town. CCR + John Fogerty music for 2+hours is just awesome. Last year he also had his kids there playing on stage. Definitely one of the best concerts I ever saw.
Guys, it's just a CRYING SHAME you haven't done anything by Echo & the Bunnymen. Most 'reactors' start with "The Killing Moon," but I think you should start with "Lips Like Sugar" and "Bring on the Dancing Horses" (then "The Killing Moon"). After that "Bedbugs and Ballyhoo" (my favorite), "Seven Seas," "Nothing Lasts Forever," and we'll come up with more. Another 80s great you haven't touched is Siouxsie and the Banshees. In fact, Siouxsie Sioux (sounds like "Suzy Sue") is perfect for Female Friday. She was a true post-punk pioneer. I recommend "Kiss Them For Me" and "Cities in Dust."
If my memory serves me well at one time this music was called swamp rock back then. I had a black co-worker who loved CCR thanks to his mom who introduced him to the band. He always played their music while working away in his cubicle.
This band was formed in El Cerrito California and had a sound of their own. This band hit the Bayou sound Louisiana style just perfect and nobody sounds like CCR.
Forgety told us at one of his shows that we went too that " Green River " is actually Putah Creek (very green) which flows out of Lake Berryessa in Northern California and flows through the sloughs of Yolo Co. to the Sacramento River which is muddy brown-
When I was growing up, in the sixties, CCR was always on the radio. There were others the Rolling Stones, The Small Faces, the Hollies, the Beatles to name a few.
I worked retail for 5 years, most of it full-time, got sick and left. I know how frustrating it is to be stuck behind a counter for hours. I like to look at people who serve me and tell them, "Have fun when you get out of here." I get lots of smiles, they sometimes tell me how much longer they are stuck there, so I commiserate with them. if I can give someone 1 reason to smile in a busy day, that makes me happy too.
They got a good documentary on Netflix about CCR. They talk about the history of the band, going to Vietnam the gollywogs then going to London (or Paris) to play Prince Albert Hall. Then they play the show from Prince Albert Hall. John said Green River is a camp they used to go to. It's not there anymore cuz they damned up the river and flooded it out for the hydro plant.
Hi Again, I forgot that Netflix has there show from England the 1970 concert never before seen until now, narrated by Jeff Bridges. At the time they were bigger than the Beatles and were greeted with a 15 minute standing ovation
One piece of trivia you may not know,but the blonde guy in the group is Tom Fogerty John Fogerty's older brother ~ originally he was the leader of the band ~ but for whatever reason he invited John to sing lead on their 2nd album ~ John didn't just sing he wrote every song on the album ~ the rest as they say is history
These guys were very much like the Beatles in that they were a band for a long time, paid a lot of dues, before they hit. The Beatles went to Hamburg, and CCR gigged all over Cali for ten years before they broke big.
The Whole album is great! “I Put a Spell on You”, “Born on the Bayou”, “Susie Q”, “Long as I See the Light”, “Lodi”, “Green River”, “Fortunate Son”, etc. etc. From the San Francisco Bay Area, at that time it was CCR, Janis Joplin, Santana, Doobie Brothers, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Tower of Power, Sly and The Family Stone, Boz Scaggs,…..SanJoséBob
Been a huge fan from the first time Suzie Q hit the charts in 68. To me their very best songs are I PUT A SPELL ON YOU &. NIGHTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME ( that's definitely 🔥🔥 FIRE). John Fogerty is currently performing at 72, the concerts have to be be great!
This classic rock song is 3x more country than anything on country music radio today.
Alabama did a pretty good cover of this song on one of their albums.
💀💀💀
😂😂💯
It’s just different country. Just like comparing 50’s rock and roll to 80’s rock and roll. Isn’t it great that we have so many decades of great music from which to choose? 😃
It isn’t Country. It’s Blues.
The song is so light and nostalgic, but then the ending is kind of ominous. The old man warning him he's gonna grow up and go out into the world with big dreams and goals, but he's going to find a world in chaos and confusion. Also, the best advice ever: "When you get lost, go back to the simple things like home, friends and family."
Also, this album sounds just as good and fresh today as it did 50+ years ago.
Later, the old man down the road
My favorite CCR tune because of the line: "barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight" paints a beautiful picture in my mind!😊
I've always liked seeing barefoot girls dancin' !!!.
Credence Clearwater Revival was and is rock and roll royalty.
CCR is nothing but pure good times and relaxing with your friends and family music. There's nothing you can't do that doesn't sound better with them. As for floating down the river you guys ever make it to Arizona you are our guests on the Salt River beautiful atmosphere wild horses everywhere.

You would think...however their are from Northern California,a town called El Cerrito in the East Bay.
"love to keep my feet way down in shallow water" 💯🔥🤘
One of my top picks too!
John Fogerty. A kid from California who was inspired by Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry. He wrote all those great CCR songs, sang them in his gritty wonderful voice and blessed us with his talents.
You can never go wrong with CCR 💯🔥🤘

Late to the party, but this has always been my favorite CCR song, and that it saying a lot, given their catalog.
John wrote the songs, he played lead guitar, he played the harmonica, and he sang the songs, with out John we would have never heard of CCR!
Oooh, been ages since I've heard this! I think this makes NINE CCR songs youv'e done, but there are a lot more bangers.

Ditto... Great song suggestions! : )
Don’t forget penthouse pauper
All bangers. Green River is definitely one my favs. Also love their version of “I Put A Spell On You.”
They just recently did CCR’s version of “I Heard It…”. Other than that, I totally agree with your other picks.
@@donaldwhite1928 Penthouse Pauper is a great choice, also The Right Time Is The Right Time
"Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight"... one of the most compelling lyrics ever written.

You can never go wrong with CCR one of my favorite bands of all time ✌❤🎶
We can go wrong if we don't like this band. Your favorite band isn't anyone taste you know. For me they're just OK no more.
So this song Country, Rock, Blue a mix of Blue Rock Country or Rock Blue but definitely nothing to do with Country something else ? Who's got the answer ?
Phenomenal band that just grabs your soul and has fun with it. Such great bad that once you get hooked on them, you just want more!
Great rendition! Great lyrics! Great voice!!🎸🎵🎷🎧🎤😉🥰🤩

"Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Lodi" are great CCR songs.
This is my favorite CCR song of many great ones. It just flows like the river.
I grew up on the Illinois River in Tahlequah. This song is pure nostalgia for me. The soundtrack of my childhood.
Floated the river a lot and would jump off Combs Bridge, from the rail, in the early 70’s. A few would jump off the top! I see they’ve build a new one to replace it.

My favourite CCR song. Loved watching this reaction!
When i was a kid there was a huge reissue of CCR's greatest hits. That commercial was on 50 times a day.
You can never go wrong with CCR❤️
I'm in!!! When are we ALL gonna do this. That would be such a blast
Wish this song was twice as long!
their album Cosmo's Factory was the first album i ever bought with my own money, and you couldn't go wrong with any track from that album. a few songs from it have been mentioned below.

This is my fav CCR song of all time. too good
Hands down my fav of theirs not that I don’t love most of the others too. Love CCR!
This band was formed in El Cerrito California and had a sound of their own. This band hit the Bayou sound Louisiana style just perfect and nobody sounds like CCR.
Creedence are one of the best if not THE best bands to come out of America.. In fact yes.. Ccr first Skynrd 2nd R.E.M 3rd
Forgety told us at one of his shows that we went too that " Green River " is actually Putah Creek (very green) which flows out of Lake Berryessa in Northern California and flows through the sloughs of Yolo Co. to the Sacramento River which is muddy brown-
CCR has a sound that is easily understood. Great band!
Barefoot girls dancin in the moonlight, my favorite bit of lyric ever. My favorite CCR song.
Travelin' Band is the ultimate rock and roll song by CCR, check that one out next!
When I was growing up, in the sixties, CCR was always on the radio.
There were others the Rolling Stones, The Small Faces, the Hollies, the Beatles to name a few.
Yes a distinct sound!😊
One of my favorite bands. 99 and a half is another great song of theirs.
My favorite of theirs.

Must do "Up Around the Bend" by CCR, one of the all time great guitar licks.
My all time favorite song. 100%
I so enjoy your channel! I love hearing these old songs I've almost forgotten about and feeling that nostalgia you guys so sweetly talked about.
Y’all are the sweetest song reviewers ever…. Love!!!
They got a good documentary on Netflix about CCR. They talk about the history of the band, going to Vietnam the gollywogs then going to London (or Paris) to play Prince Albert Hall. Then they play the show from Prince Albert Hall.
John said Green River is a camp they used to go to. It's not there anymore cuz they damned up the river and flooded it out for the hydro plant.
Through the years, in many bands, I've sung this song likely five thousand times. One of my all-time favorites.
This song is actually about Putah Creek in Winters, CA, about 15 minutes from where I grew up.
Hi Again, I forgot that Netflix has there show from England the 1970 concert never before seen until now, narrated by Jeff Bridges. At the time they were bigger than the Beatles and were greeted with a 15 minute standing ovation

Damn..going through CCR ..had 4 older brothers and got their music..I was 9 and i know all these songs....
Long as I can see the light is a must !
The Whole album is great! “I Put a Spell on You”, “Born on the Bayou”, “Susie Q”, “Long as I See the Light”, “Lodi”, “Green River”, “Fortunate Son”, etc. etc. From the San Francisco Bay Area, at that time it was CCR, Janis Joplin, Santana, Doobie Brothers, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Tower of Power, Sly and The Family Stone, Boz Scaggs,…..SanJoséBob
You're right on, but I thought Boz Skaggs was from Texas and played on/off with Steve Miller in the 60s
They are a GREAT band!
The fact they did so much good music in only four years blows my mind
Been a huge fan from the first time Suzie Q hit the charts in 68. To me their very best songs are I PUT A SPELL ON YOU &. NIGHTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME ( that's definitely 🔥🔥 FIRE). John Fogerty is currently performing at 72, the concerts have to be be great!
I Put a Spell on You would be perfect this month for Halloween
My favorite CCR song. This band is so good
It's been a long time since I've pitched LAY DOWN ~~ Melanie w/ Edwin Hawkins Singers /Netherlands 1970
Herd it through the grapevine CCR. YOU ALLWAYS MAKE ME SMILE!!!!!
I definitely recommend CCR's Midnight Special. Its a fantastic song with fantastic lyrics
My first concert was CCR. My favorite CCR song is Green River. I think I heard that John Fogerty wrote this classic song while he was in High School.
Born and raised in the San Francisco bay area, how he got that voice I'll never know. :)
my favorite song of all time.
This sounds so much like The Hollies Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress! A real foot tapping beat
"Someday Never Comes", and "Hey Tonight", are great by CCR
Dancing in the moonlight ❤❤
Come on to Texas. We do it pretty much year round. CCR is always on the radio, no matter who you pass on the river.
Such a great CCR song, probably my favorite from the swamp rockers.
