One of your best reactions, man! That one got to you. Cosmo's Factory was one of my favorite albums throughout my youth. It never gets old or stale. This song is dynamite, especially when accompanied by the chemical enhancements that were required for listening back in the day.
Jamel, for years I thought I was the only one of a select few that understood what a gem this song truly is. I would bring up "Ramble Tamble" in conversation and their reaction was "Huh?" I even talked to a great guitarist I knew at a guitar store and he had no clue what I was talking about. This song is the song I listen to when life became almost unbearable. It has the capacity to recharge my motor and let me know that if I can persevere through a current situation, life will soon get better. And now that my passion besides my music, is riding my road bike, this song is my constant companion and helps me when the wind is in my face and fires me up when the wind is at my back. A truly great song and a song that I continue to thrill to as I recall that my father introduced me to "Cosmos factory when I was a wee lad. God bless my friend.
You were not alone brother, Ramble Tamble is THE song off CCR. I hear all the influences there, even a bit of Jeff Beck in the middle instrumental, but the whole package, band kickin absolute ass, John's vision and driving guitar licks, phrasing, the whole thing is like nothing on earth..............
@ Jesse Lobo Yes . I call this CCR’s Stairway to Heaven . It is just as good or better than the Zeppelin classic but not as well known . Yet this song transcends its genre . In it you can visualize the Dust Bowl and the plight Of the Oakies , the Great Depression , John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath, on and on . It should be in all Music Appreciation classes that showcases great American composers like Glenn Miller , George Gershwin , Aaron Copeland , John Phillip Souza , Stephen Foster , heck even Stephen Sondheim . Ramble Tamble is an Americana Masterpiece.
In the comments to your reactions people will mention, "what a nice guy you are", "what a gentle soul you are", etc... yet no one really got to the heart of it. So I guess this 69 yr old white guy will. Considering your childhood (based on little things you revealed during your reactions) many people (both Black and White) took the "wrong" path in life and used the adversities of their childhood as an excuse and justification for going bad. You Sir; however, transcended all that and became the awesome guy we enjoy and love watching. I have the highest admiration and deepest respect for you as fellow human being (the list of people I feel that way about is extremely short).
I absolutely positively 1000000% agree you are an awesome awesome young man sir thank you for being who you are never ever change anything go forward with strength and power fine sir
As a young black kid growing up around that time period, CCR was a staple in every black household I ever went to along with The Righteous Brothers, Doobie Brothers, Rare Earth and Three Dog Night....those bands had so much soul! Thanks for the memories
@Cstian Lew I love your comment. As a young white suburban kid I grew up listening to the bands you mentioned along with the popular British bands AND all the great Motown artists. I don't think most young kids today realize how much musical crossover there was in the 60's & 70's. Warms my heart to see other people talk about it & remember it fondly too.💙
@@deborahcornell171 Thanks Deborah..yes back in the days radio would play Marvin Gaye next to Elton John next to Earth Wind and Fire next to Rod Stewart....just great music with no boundries
We were fairly poor growing up and my dad had an old van atop our property that he would drive to work. The best part of the van was an eight track player with a fast forward control that I just had to explore when I was ten. He had a few eight tracks but Cosmos Factory was one that caught my eye. I put it in, the tape was at the beginning and Ramble Tamble came on. I played it and couldn't believe what I was hearing. I fast forwarded through the rest of the tape until Ramble Tamble came back on again. I did this over and over until I ran the battery too far down to keep playing. I snuck back out of the van down to the house. My father had to jump the van to make it to work that night. I never had the heart to tell him I ran his battery down but did tell him how much I love Creedence.
Their Stairway to Heaven but unfortunately lesser known . You can feel the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl problems in this one .Ramble Tamble is an Americana Masterpiece !
It sounds like a man overwhelmed by the filth and hell of modern life, running away and opting out of the madness (the slowing part); then I feel the changes after that part are like a rediscovery of himself, and he starts to build that strength up, then he can come back and deal with all that stuff, having rediscovered his soul, his center. I lose myself in the instrumental section too. :)
Right after the album was released I was home in my bedroom as a teenager laying awake after being out. It was after 1 am. I was listening to an old FM radio station from across the Lake in Erie, Pennsylvania. Suddenly this song came on, and I was transported...........didn't feel the heat and the sweat of the summer night (humid here in southern Ontario)..............just the music as I bent my head closer to the little radio by my bedside. What a masterpiece and what an impression it made on my young mid. Now it's so many years later, and I just saw a live version of John Fogerty playing this..............such a welling up of emotions. Sometimes it's the little moments that make life wonderful. Thanks for your reaction.......
I love that you're reacting to CCR. I only started listening to them last year but they are my favorite band of all time. I'm only 17, but I love listening to old music, anywhere from the '50s to the '80s especially. I never heard a CCR song I didn't like.
a true hidden gem as others have said, the best ccr song that no bodys ever herd..i herd this long time ago on KSHE FM st.louis many ,many ,yrs ago a true "kshe classic"..im 66 yo now an still play this in my head on the bike,boat .or when-ever im in my own head..ty Jamael !!!
Three years late to reply but the reason they didn't radio play this song is because they liked to play songs that were 2-3 minutes long so they could run adverts more often. At about seven minutes this song didn't allow that. Same with 'American Pie' - they'd cut off the last verse which was the key to understanding the song. Money!
I grew up on this song in NZ. My dad played CCR all the time, and this was always my favourite song by them. There was the obvious bit where everything slowed down, but my favourite part was when the piano came in again. I've been listening to this song for about 40 years or more, and it still sends shivers up me even now.
I'm so glad to see this getting some attention. Let me tell you a short story.. This is the song that got me into rock and roll when I was just a kid. My mom listened to oldies and I started to like some of it, she picked up on that and decided to buy me my first album. The year would have been somewhere around 1990-91 I was only 10 or so lol. She bought me Cosmos Factory on cassette. I had a Sony Walkman lol and would listen to this album in the back of a '87 Dodge Caravan with headphones on when we went to my Grandma's house every few months. This was what started it all for me, now I'm a rock junkie. I really never shared my affinity for Ramble Tamble with anybody but it's good to see someone's reaction to it, I'm glad it's touched multiple generations of folks. I feel like I can listen to this song in any situation and life is better.
This is my favorite CCR song because there is just so much instrumental brilliance in it with the fluid transitions and tempo changes, and of course Fogerty's brilliant vocals. It's also my personal anthem about why I went abroad to seek my fortune..."Mortgage on the line" indeed.
Ramble Tamble - Instrumental 🔥🔥🔥🔥, brain killer. The overall point o the song: Has already tired to waddle over looooong bridge to bank from insane place, but at the end you'r moving back in. Fantastic!!! Jamel my fav reactor regards from UA!!!
And the song was around way before Ronald Reagan became president so it was kind of a prediction of the future, although most of the idiots that get into that office are actors No Doubt!!
Came across your videos today, As a soon to be 50 yr old, it gives me hope and faith, to see younger generations fall in love with wonderful music. l literally, figuratively saw a light bulb turning on over your head while you listened to Pink Floyd. Music has tremendous power over the soul. It is always amazing what people can do when working together. Keep on loving Jamal.
You get the the story of why he wants to leave home and ramble. Then you get the whole emotional journey. And then he revisits his roots. And a little wisdom thrown in. First it's mortgage on the home. Then it's mortgage on the car! How prophetic is that, with many of signing 8 year mortgages on our vehicles. Finally it's mortgage on your very life. Welcome new world order. In my opinion this is at the top of under-rated classics.
My older brother gave me this album for Christmas in the early 70's. This is the first song on side one and it became my favorite. I had forgotten about it. So glad someone else recommend it to you.
Holy crap. I honestly didn't think there was a CCR song that I didn't know. Good job! I actually saw John Fogerty when he was about 3 weeks away from being 70 and he fucking KILLED it!
When this song transitions, the look of wonder, and excitement on your face, because you knew this was going to be good, (and right when you thought the song was over...) was priceless!!
The best CCR song in my opinion and my absolute fav song. The funny thing was the band would never perform the song the same way twice because of the many change overs, whether it was during rehearsals or in a live gig. But they were totally in sync with one another and incredibly tight which ever way they went.
3:12: "It's a helluva transition!" LOL, I love it. You ain't heard nothing yet! Their best, my favorite from them. Tom and John jamming on guitar, gets no better then that.
I was raised on CCR and this is, perhaps, John's greatest song...and that is saying a lot. CCR rivels the Beatles, the Stones, any other band ever. They are one the best and this is one the best songs ever written.
That guitar rythm strum and the base and slide guitar to together....along with that voice.....NOTHING LIKE IT!! I am glad sir that you took the time to hear this song. It s on the long side and a lot of people don t take the time for this one.....but it is one of the best rythm sets in rock and roll....mellow but WOW!!!!
Hey Jamel, love being part of your musical journey! Have you explored anything by The Band yet? I recommend you check out the epic Scorsese gig film The Last Waltz. Lots of amazing performances by many great artists. Notably the version of The Weight featuring The Staple Singers. Beautiful. Thanks for your uploads man.
The great thing about John Fogerty is, on top of his great solo work, he owns the rights to the CCR songs so if you’re lucky enough to get to see him in concert, he’ll play for 2+ hours and you’ll get to hear about 50 songs because most of CCR’s stuff is so short.
I think this one is a complete work of art. back when songs were crafted, composed and created by such talent. They were such a fantastic band. The epitome of getting lost in the music. Quality.
Jamel, you are cool as hell!! I have seen a lot of reaction videos, but the difference is you have an ear for great music!! No bullshit. Your reactions are genuine. Keep great music alive!!
Had never heard this tune before (this is going back MANY years). Not on the radio. It wasn't until I bought this album that I heard it, and it fast became my FAVORITE Creedence tune. So glad you got around to it!
I totally dig your musical journey. I have loved and been open to music my whole life. Seeing someone find and appreciate music has been quite refreshing for me. Thanks bud.
The electric guitar is the greatest instrument(IMHO) that has ever been created by humans. John's mastery and creative genius is show cased here. The sonic brilliance of this song is a tribute to this man's genius.
Thank you for posting this. I thought I was a die-hard CCR fan but in actual fact I'd only heard the hits (of which there are many). Then one night on a long distance flight, the airline had Cosmo's Factory on their list of albums to listen to and that is how I discovered Ramble Tamble. I listened to it probably for four hours on repeat and it's now my favourite song in the CCR canon along with Born on the Bayou. So Jamel, your reaction was pretty much identical to mine. I finally got to see John Fogerty livee in 2014 and this song remains the single greatest concert-going highlight of my life. Mind-boggling composition and execution.
Like a lot of kids at the time (I was 11) I bought this album on the strength of "Up Around the Bend", but reveled in the deeper cuts, especially this one. "Why don't they make music like this today?" Someone, somewhere, undoubtedly is, but there's little market for it popularly. More central, it was a different time. Artists were experimenting and record labels were trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Sometime in the mid to late 70's that changed, as Rock and other genre's became more conservative, wanting to play it safe. Or maybe all the experiments had been done, and everyone knew what worked and stuck with that.
I love this album. My dad gave me the vinyl when i was 12 (in '94) cause CCR was both my dads and my favorite band.I buried that vinyl with my dad last year when he passed so i love the fact that your listening to these guys. love your reactions
You probably listen to the top 100 songs played on the radio 24/7 365. Check out CCR- cross tie walker Spirit- fresh garbage The Doors- land ho Ozark Mountain Daredevils- fly away home
You wouldn't know it from the movie, thanks to record label infighting (or, as others have suggested, the band didn't care for their set for some reason or another and wanted it wiped from memory). Hell, I've been a fan of them since the 1980s and I thought they weren't invited. It was only within the last couple of years (I want to say 2019) that their set was released on CD.
@@kevintrjohnson they did at apparently very very late almost 1 or 2 am and the it was raining stage falling apart etc. John fogerty did an interview about it.
I'm 60...don't remember ever hearing this song before...beautiful transition to instrumentals and then the build back...wonderful. Big thanks to whoever out there prompted/suggested/prodded/begged Jamel do this reaction.
this is my favorite song on the album. great choice. i was in 5th grade when this album came out and i'd be over at my best friend's house and his folks would be rolling them up like it was going out of style and playing this album constantly. i learned every note...lol.
This is by far one of my favorite CCR songs!! Before I stumbled across this reaction I hadn't heard it in a while and you actually convinced me by listening to it to go on to Spotify and download the Cosmo's Factory album so that I can hear the song whatever I want!!! I can't wait to take a ride on my Harley and blast this song!!! You must also react to "keep on chooglin" by CCR
Yes! Finally someone reacts to this song. It's my favorite CCR song
Me too.
@@themaddane1550 same
Mine too!
Mine to
I been requesting this all over place
Best CCR song that next to no one has heard of.
I’d have to agree with you. I’m 62 and don’t remember ever hearing it before. Great, fun tune!
Ramble Tamble kicks ass.
This is one of my favorites of theirs!
62 years old... shout out to Lloyd... I am a big CCR fan, been listening all my life... never heard this one though.

It's their best.
@ Jesse Lobo Yes . I call this CCR’s Stairway to Heaven . It is just as good or better than the Zeppelin classic but not as well known . Yet this song transcends its genre .

@@cstianlew406So true, you would have thought after nearly 50 years we would have progressed even more...but sadly, no.
That is precisely the one thing I miss about the 60s-70s. The local radio stations everybody listened to that played a mix of everything.
Another to go find our what rare earth is all about. Definitely a fan of the other 3
When Fogerty "claims" HE was the one and only of Creedence .......this song smashes that argument to fucking bits.
This song has been singled out for critical praise, with music journalist Steven Hyden calling it "the most rockin' song of all time."
"I'm listening so hard my face it starting to turn numb"....no higher praise can be had on a song.
CCR is just amazing, timeless and soul warming. John Fogerty has such a unique voice that can't be mistaken for anyone else. Awesome.
Damn. I'd forgotten how good this song is!
Lookin' Out My Back Door and Down On the Corner. Must listens for CCR.
He's done the latter already.
Overplayed compared to this unique gem.
Dont ya wish you they did music like this today
@Tango Jones thank you tango jones i have listened to everyone for a very long time ... And miss real music .... Thank you
@Tango Jones not only in american culture. Europe copied your shit
Plenty of great newer artist.
@@dannygaynor1888 I wouldn't say plenty but there are some great new artists that come now and then.
Is the Reverend Horton Heat closed?
We were fairly poor growing up and my dad had an old van atop our property that he would drive to work. The best part of the van was an eight track player with a fast forward control that I just had to explore when I was ten. He had a few eight tracks but Cosmos Factory was one that caught my eye. I put it in, the tape was at the beginning and Ramble Tamble came on. I played it and couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Their Stairway to Heaven but unfortunately lesser known . You can feel the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl problems in this one .Ramble Tamble is an Americana Masterpiece !
this album had 2 tracks over 8 mins long and neither had a second wasted! ♥
CCR- “As Long as I Can see the Light”
Very soulful you won’t be disappointed. Love the channel ✌️
That's a Top 5 CCR tune in my book.
He's got react to that for sure.
Yes yes yes
Yes! I can already see Jamel's face when that sax solo starts blowin'
YESS
Ramble Tamble, one of CCR's most underplayed gems. Here's a few more:
(Wish I Could) Hideaway
Wrote A Song For Everyone
Effigy
Especially hideaway
@@clydekimsey7503 Yes! It's ironic how many Credence fans have never even heard of that song but when they do listen to it they're blown away.
Yeah I just mentioned Effigy too. Stark lyrics and great moody music.
Hideaway is amazing
I had forgot about Wrote A Song For Everyone. GREAT SONG
Probably my fav CCR song. The buildup in the middle pays off near the end, such a good song to crank loud.
Again no such thing as a ccr song only A John Fogerty song
It sounds like a man overwhelmed by the filth and hell of modern life, running away and opting out of the madness (the slowing part); then I feel the changes after that part are like a rediscovery of himself, and he starts to build that strength up, then he can come back and deal with all that stuff, having rediscovered his soul, his center.
I lose myself in the instrumental section too. :)
On point ❤
“As Long as I Can see the Light”.....that will take you to church
Dtiving down the open road with these songs blasting from the 8 track! Rock n Roll will never die!
Right after the album was released I was home in my bedroom as a teenager laying awake after being out. It was after 1 am.

My favorite CCR tune and the one that PROVES how thoroughly badass they were. Thanks for digging it too!

a family friend had all CCR's album, originals. heard this song when I was maybe 13 and loved it since - best CCR song!
One of my most favorite CCR songs ever. This one just builds and builds. Puts me a in a godamn trance. Chills, every time.
"As long as I can see the light" where Fohgerty mimics a sax with his voice at the end of every line.
NEVER HEARD THIS ONE BUT IT WAS AWESOME!!
listening so hard my face turning numb... only someone who truly appreciates a jam like this can understand....
Best CCR song ever! I listen to it every time with those incredible transitions.
That opening riff could go on forever and the multitudes will dance to that shit. Prove me wrong.
That middle part is so pretty! I have this album as 33rpm. Grew up with CCR. 63, still love them.
a true hidden gem as others have said, the best ccr song that no bodys ever herd..i herd this long time ago on KSHE FM st.louis many ,many ,yrs ago a true "kshe classic"..im 66 yo now an still play this in my head on the bike,boat .or when-ever im in my own head..ty Jamael !!!
One of my All Time Favourite Songs EVER! It's got everything!
My favorite CCR song and one of the best driving songs ever. That solo is one of the best ever. It’s sad that classic rock radio ignores this gem.
Why this one was never played on the radio is beyond me. I played this thing over and over!!
Three years late to reply but the reason they didn't radio play this song is because they liked to play songs that were 2-3 minutes long so they could run adverts more often.

This is my favorite CCR song because there is just so much instrumental brilliance in it with the fluid transitions and tempo changes, and of course Fogerty's brilliant vocals. It's also my personal anthem about why I went abroad to seek my fortune..."Mortgage on the line" indeed.
Check out “Someday Never Comes”. Makes me feel emotional every time I listen to it.
That song is like a knife to my heart...
YES. If this song doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, something is wrong with you
Fantastic jam.
Love that song, makes me tear up every time
Everytime
My very fav band of all time and will always be ,Oh my gosh our music was the very best of all time INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ramble Tamble - Instrumental 🔥🔥🔥🔥, brain killer. The overall point o the song: Has already tired to waddle over looooong bridge to bank from insane place, but at the end you'r moving back in. Fantastic!!! Jamel my fav reactor regards from UA!!!
Your face is like my face everytime I hear this. Wonderful song, fantastic review. Worthy. ❤🤘
OMG....this is my FAVORITE CCR song by far!!!!!!! This song has the best breakdown within a song ever!
Seriously it almost makes me cry tears of joy to see you enjoying this, just like I did the first time I heard it a million years ago.
"Actors in the white house, mortgage on the life, mortgage on the life!" The more things change, the more they stay the same, thanks, Jamal.
Ain't that the truth!
this has literally been true twice now ;)
And the song was around way before Ronald Reagan became president so it was kind of a prediction of the future, although most of the idiots that get into that office are actors No Doubt!!
The greatest rock band period 0❤
Lookin' Out My Back Door, Down On the Corner, Green River, Suzy Q... just to name a few!

First third of the song: why you work.
Second third: working through the day.
Last third: headin' home.
Absolutely brilliant perspective
My favorite of all CCR songs is Travelin Band. Back in my day we had the best time dancing to this song.
Yep... I second "Travelin' Band" as the best CCR tune.
That song was heavily influenced by little Richard. I love it
When that song came on at our roller rink for boys only skate... look out!
D Norm Did you go to the same skating rink I went to? Haha
@@wilmaneely4334 well if you lived in Galt Ontario I might have! 😁
Had a cousin of mine in Germany during the Vietnam era, and he said CCR was the most played band over there.
When people ask me what Rock n Roll is? This is literally all I tell them: 'Ramble Tamble by CCR'.
Ah John Fogerty song not a CCR song
You get the the story of why he wants to leave home and ramble. Then you get the whole emotional journey. And then he revisits his roots.
And a little wisdom thrown in. First it's mortgage on the home. Then it's mortgage on the car! How prophetic is that, with many of signing 8 year mortgages on our vehicles. Finally it's mortgage on your very life. Welcome new world order. In my opinion this is at the top of under-rated classics.

That whole jam section in the middle sounded like Built to Spill travelled back in time and took a turn. This section was 30 years ahead of its time.
Which song?
Holy crap. I honestly didn't think there was a CCR song that I didn't know. Good job! I actually saw John Fogerty when he was about 3 weeks away from being 70 and he fucking KILLED it!
When this song transitions, the look of wonder, and excitement on your face, because you knew this was going to be good, (and right when you thought the song was over...) was priceless!!
Finally someone did my favorite CCR tune.THANK YOU!
Jamel, you're the best "reactor" out there, no doubt about it. You add more to the music than only the music itself.
I never really appreciated this song...til now.
Thank you for reintroducing me to this incredibly understated music.
The best CCR song in my opinion and my absolute fav song. The funny thing was the band would never perform the song the same way twice because of the many change overs, whether it was during rehearsals or in a live gig. But they were totally in sync with one another and incredibly tight which ever way they went.
3:12: "It's a helluva transition!" LOL, I love it. You ain't heard nothing yet! Their best, my favorite from them. Tom and John jamming on guitar, gets no better then that.
I was raised on CCR and this is, perhaps, John's greatest song...and that is saying a lot. CCR rivels the Beatles, the Stones, any other band ever. They are one the best and this is one the best songs ever written.
Dude that was FUN!!!! I loved your responce. I was rockin' that album when it came out when I was about 12-13!!! KILLER old stuff eh???
That guitar rythm strum and the base and slide guitar to together....along with that voice.....NOTHING LIKE IT!! I am glad sir that you took the time to hear this song. It s on the long side and a lot of people don t take the time for this one.....but it is one of the best rythm sets in rock and roll....mellow but WOW!!!!
One of my all time favorites of theirs... Great band from 69 on I believe.. Always listened to Creedence...
Hey Jamel, love being part of your musical journey! Have you explored anything by The Band yet? I recommend you check out the epic Scorsese gig film The Last Waltz. Lots of amazing performances by many great artists. Notably the version of The Weight featuring The Staple Singers. Beautiful. Thanks for your uploads man.
The great thing about John Fogerty is, on top of his great solo work, he owns the rights to the CCR songs so if you’re lucky enough to get to see him in concert, he’ll play for 2+ hours and you’ll get to hear about 50 songs because most of CCR’s stuff is so short.
I think this one is a complete work of art. back when songs were crafted, composed and created by such talent. They were such a fantastic band. The epitome of getting lost in the music. Quality.
Best bridge of of the 20th century
Of all their great albums Cosmo's Factory has always been my favorite!
Mine also.
No lies detected. So happy we had good records in the house when I was growing up
ccr gave us some great music, a long time ago. and still good today.
Finally! Best CCR song!!!!
their most underrated song for sure. definitely in my top 10 ccr tracks
Jamel, you are cool as hell!! I have seen a lot of reaction videos, but the difference is you have an ear for great music!! No bullshit. Your reactions are genuine. Keep great music alive!!
Had never heard this tune before (this is going back MANY years). Not on the radio. It wasn't until I bought this album that I heard it, and it fast became my FAVORITE Creedence tune. So glad you got around to it!
I totally dig your musical journey. I have loved and been open to music my whole life. Seeing someone find and appreciate music has been quite refreshing for me. Thanks bud.
Brother Jamel looks like he got taken to church!
I love Brother Jamel!
Yessir, I believe that's exactly what's happening here!
Came here to post this! Haha awesome.
The electric guitar is the greatest instrument(IMHO) that has ever been created by humans. John's mastery and creative genius is show cased here. The sonic brilliance of this song is a tribute to this man's genius.
Well said & very true!👍✌️
This song is on my top ten !
My dad remembers when this came out he said he was on Acid when this song was playing & he was on SICKKKKKKKK one
Thank you for posting this. I thought I was a die-hard CCR fan but in actual fact I'd only heard the hits (of which there are many). Then one night on a long distance flight, the airline had Cosmo's Factory on their list of albums to listen to and that is how I discovered Ramble Tamble. I listened to it probably for four hours on repeat and it's now my favourite song in the CCR canon along with Born on the Bayou. So Jamel, your reaction was pretty much identical to mine. I finally got to see John Fogerty livee in 2014 and this song remains the single greatest concert-going highlight of my life. Mind-boggling composition and execution.
Like a lot of kids at the time (I was 11) I bought this album on the strength of "Up Around the Bend", but reveled in the deeper cuts, especially this one. "Why don't they make music like this today?" Someone, somewhere, undoubtedly is, but there's little market for it popularly. More central, it was a different time. Artists were experimenting and record labels were trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Sometime in the mid to late 70's that changed, as Rock and other genre's became more conservative, wanting to play it safe. Or maybe all the experiments had been done, and everyone knew what worked and stuck with that.
Oh yes, great tune. I still have this vinyl LP in my collection. Man, somebody needs to do a cover of this tune. Like yesterday.
I have it as well.
I still have 2 copies and played one today.
"Actors in the White House." Maybe the most prophetic line ever written in Rock music.
And that was before Ronald Reagan.
Its been going on way to long, but they know.
My favorite song of all time. And your reaction is just priceless. Thanks brother
CCR takes me back my time in Nam their music blasted all over my barracks thanks to ME .
I love this album. My dad gave me the vinyl when i was 12 (in '94) cause CCR was both my dads and my favorite band.I buried that vinyl with my dad last year when he passed so i love the fact that your listening to these guys. love your reactions
As a fan of CCR for most of my life, somehow I've never heard this song.... It's got such an amazing classic rock feel to it!
You probably listen to the top 100 songs played on the radio 24/7 365. Check out CCR- cross tie walker Spirit- fresh garbage The Doors- land ho Ozark Mountain Daredevils- fly away home
If that's the case don't miss out on Pagan Baby and Feelin Blue to name just two gems of ccr
These guys were my first concert! Booker T. and the MG's opened the show. Forgot how much I like this song.
Just a side note: CCR was one of the original Woodstock groups.
They were the first signed!
You wouldn't know it from the movie, thanks to record label infighting (or, as others have suggested, the band didn't care for their set for some reason or another and wanted it wiped from memory). Hell, I've been a fan of them since the 1980s and I thought they weren't invited. It was only within the last couple of years (I want to say 2019) that their set was released on CD.
@@kevintrjohnson they did at apparently very very late almost 1 or 2 am and the it was raining stage falling apart etc. John fogerty did an interview about it.
It's available now and they played amazing
@@kevintrjohnson Roger Daltrey (The Who) said the best band on Woodstock was CCR, together with the public.
One of my favorite CCR tunes. So glad you did this.
I'm 60...don't remember ever hearing this song before...beautiful transition to instrumentals and then the build back...wonderful. Big thanks to whoever out there prompted/suggested/prodded/begged Jamel do this reaction.
this is my favorite song on the album. great choice. i was in 5th grade when this album came out and i'd be over at my best friend's house and his folks would be rolling them up like it was going out of style and playing this album constantly. i learned every note...lol.
I love the sound they had, they could really play.
This is by far one of my favorite CCR songs!! Before I stumbled across this reaction I hadn't heard it in a while and you actually convinced me by listening to it to go on to Spotify and download the Cosmo's Factory album so that I can hear the song whatever I want!!! I can't wait to take a ride on my Harley and blast this song!!! You must also react to "keep on chooglin" by CCR
