    Dale Hawkins, known as the father of swamp rock, first recorded and had a hit with this in 1957. While the CCR originals are all phenomenal, so are their covers like this, Cottonfields, Midnight Special, Hello Mary Lou, Heard It Through the Grapevine, I Put A Spell On You, etc.

    The first time I heard this song was in Danang Vietnam in 1969. A friend came into my hooch at About 7:00 am and tells me he found a new song on the jukebox in the EM club that I needed to hear. So we went on down and put some coins in the machine and listened to it about 6 times in a row.

      In 67 I was in the EM club in Catania Sicily and the band played this every night. And some nights they had a burlesque type dancer. So pretty and I had a crush on her. Time of the ship USS Liberty and the Six Day War in the mideast. They played at the base theater "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" every day, saw it 13 times in a row.... many more since then. 🤠

      John Fogerty's label colleague Merl Saunders heard this on the car radio when he was on tour. He didn't know about Creedence's new band name but he knew John's singing voice. So he was like, "I dunno who this Creedence is, but that's John singing it!"

    • @tomhayston9888
      @tomhayston9888 Год назад +9

      The short version was made so it could be played on AM radio, same as The Doors 'Light my Fire' , Iron Butterfly 'In a Gadda Da Vida, Led Zepplin 'Whole lot of Love' ELP 'Fanfare for a Common Man' to name a few. Years and years of playing tunes that were 3min 30 sec and when they were released you would hear the tune at least once an hour if not more for as long it was on the charts. Playing anything on AM radio over 4 mins was almost uncalled for. FM, at least here in Southern Ontario , was mainly classical music in the early 70's and was until 74-77 that FM stations started playing rock. And unlike the FM stations of today, stations would play 15+ min tunes or entire album sides

    @NigelIncubatorJones Год назад +10

    The funny thing is that CCR had lots of bluesy music. For more of that, try these tracks: "The Working Man", "Get Down Woman", "Penthouse Pauper", "Tombstone Shadow", "Feelin' Blue", and "Graveyard Train". Those are straight-up bluesy. And for Amber, this groovy sound is all over their deeper cuts. For CCR with a bit of psych influence, check out "Gloomy" and "Walk on the Water". You will not be disappointed by any of these tracks. And please, always look for the full-length tracks. "Suzie Q" is really over 8 minutes long, and if you loved the guitar on the shorter version, you'll really love it on the longer version where they really stretch the jam out.

    Grew up with CCR, My dad’s favorite band! I knew every song growing up in the 1980’s! Born in 1972. CCR is from California and recorded all of their swamp rock Louisiana songs having never stepped foot in Cajun Country!

    They have so many more sounds than this that you guys haven't heard yet. But this was off that first debut album, again one of the great debut albums. You guys would love anything off of it. But definitely check out Penthouse Pauper.
    It's a storytelling thing with a punchline at the end, but it's in the style of older Blues. On the other hand, it's incredibly funky, and the guitar work on it just slashes. His voice is incredible. It's filled with blues and soul and it's so biting.
    I love everything about this song and I remember when I heard it in high school and I had had two of their later albums but I'd never had this one although I knew a couple songs from it. I went out and bought the vinyl this and start playing it and I just loved it so much. Especially this song.
    And you didn't comment on it, but to me my favorite part of this in a lot of ways is that bass guitar line. It's the interplay between all four of the elements that gives it that groovy feel that still sounds like Creedence.

    In the Army, back in 69.....me and my buddies cruising in my new Firebird. 8 track cranked and blast'in CCR. All the tracks were great.....but Choog'lin was our favorite. In 3 weeks.....we all got our orders. That was the last time we were all together....and young. CCR still brings back good memories.

    When this song came on at a party, out came the “smokes” and everyone fell back into the music. The long version was definitely the most popular. But several other songs by Led Zep, Steppenwolf and others were on that soundtrack of our lives.

    When I was younger, (I’m 32), there was a 90’s tv Disney movie called Susie Q, played by Kimberly the pink Power Ranger from the original US show, Power Rangers. This song by CCR, as you can imagine, was it’s theme song.

    The CCR recording of Susie Q is a cover of the Dale Hawkins recording from 1957. That version charted at #27.

    The recording equipment was evolving with the music and producers and engineers are the unsung magic behind so many recordings. The 60's and 70's used a lot of panning between channels and I can't understand why it's not still used much.

    Like Jeff Campbell said Dale Hawkins was the first to record this song, and he wrote the lyrics, but the music and the iconic guitar licks were written and performed by James Burton, who was only 15 years old!!
    As a session guitarist, James went on to play guitar on so many records, it's probably in the hundreds.
    I know you've heard him. He is Elvis's guitar player on the live version of "Suspicious Minds" and the rest of the Live in Vegas album. He played with a lot of big name stars, Jerry Lee Lewis and Emmylou Harris to name a couple.

    A couple years ago a couple of us were skiing when my partner fell and cracked her tibia. Ski patrol got her down to their center, with me following shortly thereafter. I parked outside and left the car running with a CCR Greatest Hits CD running. thinking that it would be only a few minutes before we left. Shortly after I arrived, they wanted something that was out in the car, and the youngest of the patrol ladies went out to get it. It took her a half-hour to finally come back, with her eyes wide open. "Who is that band playing in your car? They are incredible!!".
    And a new CCR fanatic was born that afternoon..... :)

    The long version is almost 15 minutes. They only played the short version on AM radio, and the long version was played on FM stereo radio for all the stoned people back in 1969.

    When I grew up in Detroit in the fifties, Susie Q was the name of a restaurant that my family to go to once in a while. There were nine in our family so we didn’t go there often. It was across the street from a church we would attend sometimes that wasn’t our parish church. We got so excited when dad said we were going to that church because we knew we would go to Susie Q afterwards for fish and chips!

    Love CCR. One of the greatest groups. Green River. Run through the jungle (chilling when you realize it’s about being in the Viet Nam jungle during the war). Born on the bayou. Bad moon rising. Covers like Midnight special, Cotton fields, Hello Mary Lou. The list is long my friends.

    It's that analog sound from that era.
    It's so rich, you get bathed in it. I love when bands manipulate the levels.
    There was definitely a sonic touch of The Doors in some of the tones and vibe. It's such a perfectly conceived, produced, and executed music by CCR.
    Watching you both get immersed in the music,
    your dance moves, Jay you were the base to Amber's treble. So glad you both like the song.

  • @Jessica_Roth

    Actually, that's technically "Suzie Q, Part 1". The full song runs 8.37 on the album, so they just chopped it in half for the single; turn it over and the song continues.
    John just turned 78. I'm always aware of his birthday, since it's mine, too. (Thankfully, a bit of while until 78 for me.) Also on the same day, Ms. Gladys Knight, Colbie Caillat, and the great session bassist, Leland Sklar. We just need a drummer and we could get a band going. (I can't keep the beat, though, so don't ask me.)
