Lead singer is John Fogerty. He is from California. I’m from Louisiana and it is amazing how he gets the vibe of the swamp and culture of Louisiana.
Louisiana Gal here and yes, John Fogerty captured the essence of Louisiana. LOVE CCR!
He really does!! I’m from south Mississippi with a heavy Louisiana influence and love it. ♥️
From Louisiana here too, but this band is from central California. They have lots of other great songs as well. In their tree year recording career, it's difficult to find a single song of theirs that hasn't been played on radio over the past 50 years and still counting. I love the originals, but their covers of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" and "I put a spell on you" are all time favorites of mine. Oh yeah, and don't forget that they're the ones that wrote "Proud Mary" that Tina Turner covered and put her on the map.
He recognizes this song from The Waterboy :)
@@Mesotech Funny thing is Fogerty got sued after he left the band for sounding like himself lol. No joke it actually happened
Fogarty, probably the most recognizable and unique voices in all of rock history. I am so happy to have grown up in this one and only great era of music in america and the world.
remember the lawsuit the record company brought agents john over his solo project . they clamed he sounded to much like CCR .Glad he won or we would not have centerfield .
I second that emotion lol...🎶🎶🎶
I like what you say about Fogarty who is great. But, there is great music all the time, that musicians can keep amazing me all these years, and still with new riffs and lyrics, is one of the things I look to when I'm trying to keep from giving up and hoping for the end of the human race.
I would say a close second to the late GREAT Freddie Mercury
@@neilberman4116, amen brother!
I'm a 68 year old Midwestern middle class guy who lived the 60's and 70's. The music was outstanding. The theme songs of our lives. Watching you guys react to it is like I get to re-live the first times I've heard tjese songs all over again. I'm no expert, but if you ever have a question about a group or a song, ask me. I'm here for you.....
CKLW, motor city rock. actually, out of windsor, back then i remember lots of motown and ccr! am radio signal would go a long way across lake erie, clear in toledo and even cleveland!
We were lucky to have such great music. Like you, I often say that "our" music was the soundtrack of our lives.
One of my favorite groups growing up in late '60s & '70s and you're reacting to a favorite song. Northern California group that we so loved in southern California. They also covered "Heard It Through The Grapevine". Another great song, "Long As I Can See The Light". Always loved your insightful input and priceless reaction. I watch every single day. Keep it rollin'...pun intended, lol.
me we. we me..... love to me you. me.....we....we some gwe.mwe, gwe me suck me.......I remmeber alot of fist-fights money!!!
I remember alot of fist fight fights!!!!..... I am 62, I am from new haven, I remember alot of knife fights... and fist...uh...uh... fights!!!...I wou;d like to say that i won them all!!......I am glad to be alive!!...I am 62, and I doubt that you hav e a clue!!
CCR! The greatest bayou sound. I keep saying we Boomers were so lucky to grow up listening to the best music ever. Thanks!
Some of us Gen-Xers like these guys as well
Their cover of 'I Put A Spell On You' kicks ass.
My absolute favourite version of that song!
Yes. Yes it does.
@@deenoruve1542 Angelina Jordan at the age of 9 does a great cover of that song! The black and white version! If you check it out, tell me what you think ! GO ANGELINA JORDAN!!!!
Man I love their version of this song.
Absolutely!!!!
If you listen to 'Bad MoonRising' by CCR, you will find yourself humming the melody for days!
Yes, and the lyric goes "I see a bad moon on the rise". As a kid I thought it was "I see a bad moon on the right ". 🤣
@@blakewestwood8096 John Fogarty said that in his solo performances he used to sing "there's a bathroom on the right" to see if anyone noticed
CCR Was huge in the 60s and 70s . Most of there songs are in ALL WAR movies Forest Gump for 1
Yes "Bad Moon Rising" is an amazing song!!
I always get, "Doo, doo, doo lookin' out my back door" stuck in my head. CCR has several like that.
Everybody thinks "Proud Mary" is a Tina Turner song, but hers was actually a cover of the CCR original. Check it out.
John Fogerty wrote Proud Mary along with many other songs
But she did it better
@@gailenefuller8330 I like CCR version much more. JohnFogerty wrote the song.
Very true. Fogerty wrote the song.
Try TRAVELIN' BAND by CCR.
The song is played in the intro, and throughout the movie " Water Boy" ..
Starring, Adam Sandler.
And Hard Target with Jean Claude Van Dam if I'm not mistaken
Bobby Boucher gonna open up a can of whoop ass!
Awesome movie
They are actually from Northern California, but their music sounds like they're southern Boys. Whatever it is, it sure as hell is good!
Right on dusty827. CCR even did a song 'about' Lodi California. Amazing how they are so great at defining the sound of swamp-rock.
They must've been Louisiana boys in previous life with songs this; "Willy & the Poor Boys" and Looking Out My Back Door
The bayou were full of deported french from Arcadia in Canada.... they are separate identity and culture
Louisiana french
What is hodo
@@collettedobrocke5585 A hoo doo is a type of Cajun/ Creole voodoo practitioner also referred to as a hoodoo man or woman.
Wait until you hear CCR’s version of “Put a Spell on you”, hands down the best version ever recorded.
Amen brother. Absolutely agree. Although the original 1956 version by Screamin' Jay Hawkins is entertaining.
Oh yeah
Bryan Ferry (of Roxy Music fame) also did a fantastic version on his "Taxi" album. I love both versions
OK, I'm not gonna argue, but I would like you to hear Angelina Jordan's version, sang when she was nine. I'm not saying is better, I'm just saying you've got to hear it.
@@TryMyMartini cheers dude, I’ll check it out.
"Have You Ever Seen The Rain"
one of rock and rolls greatest songs.
“Heard It Through The Grapevine” - is a must. It’s possibly the greatest cover song of all time. The extended 12 minute version awaits if you want more than the regular version.
One of the best songs from CCR is "have you ever seen the rain"
I know you're going to like
Yeah, definitely one of my favs of all time.
Absolutely,
Also who’ll stop the rain .
John Fogerty is still alive today and sounds just as good as then. He was the lead singer of CCR.
You two kids are adorable, and it's so gratifying for an old geezer like me to see that you recognize the enduring power of classic rock when you hear it.
Other CCR tunes you should check out (all written by John Fogerty) include: Proud Mary, Green River, Lodi, Keep on Chooglin', Down on the Corner, It Came Out of the Sky, Travelin' Band, Up Around the Bend, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Who'll Stop the Rain, Long As I Can See the Light, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Hey Tonight, Sweet Hitchhiker, Someday Never Comes.
Then listen to John Fogerty's solo tunes (every bit as good), including: Rockin' All Over the World, Centerfield, Rock & Roll Girls, Southern Streamline, Hot Rod Heart, 110 in the Shade, The Old Man Down the Road, Big Train (from Memphis), Sugar Sugar, I Will Walk with You, The Joy of My Life, Change in the Weather, Almost Saturday Night, Don't You Wish It Was True, Mystic Highway, Weepin' in the Promised Land.
There -- that should keep you two busy for a while -- and in throes of ecstasy! A musician has to get up pretty early in the morning to write or sing a better rock & roll song than any of the timeless treasures from the legendary Foge!
100% quality music-all of these songs! 🎉
The ironic thing about CCR and all their great songs is, the best they ever did at the time was #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, this past summer CCR reached #1 with “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Only took about 50 years but they finally did it.
I cant think of another band whos had two greatest hits albums in a span of 5 yrs
Someone else commented that CCR was the soundtrack of the 60’s and 70’s and that comment is spot on. Check out Looking Out My Back Door. And I have always loved Have You Ever Seen the Rain. The songs you’ve done and adding these two I’ve mentioned here are all different vibes and show how versatile CCR was. Amazing! ♥️♥️♥️
HOT DAAAAAAM we had such ICONIC music in the late 60s and 70s ,, This bands music C, C, R has been in so many movies ,
Down on the Corner
mhmmm
If someone says soundtrack of the 60s, (Besides two songs from Steppenwolf that dominated the era), Three Dog Night immediately comes to mind. So many iconic, great songs: One, Shambala, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Never Been To Spain, Joy To The World, Eli’s Coming, An Old Fashioned Love Song, The Show Must Go On, and so on and so on. You pretty much can’t go wrong.Though some of those probably were early 70s.
@@lonewolf9077 Yes! I remember burning up a Three Dog Night album back in the day!! I was thinking the other day about suggesting them. Well played! ♥️
This band was the soundtrack of the 60s and 70s. John Fogerty on his own is definitely worth a listen.
You are so right!♥️♥️
I LOVE his song "Blue Boy"!
Sadly, the record company KEPT all the songs Fogerty wrote for CCR. He wasn't able to keep any of them. 😔
@@DianaJG8 That was a very sad turn of events for John and his brother.
@@baladilady - Yes, it was. He tried to take it to court but lost. 😪
@@DianaJG8 Can you imagine being sued for sounding like yourself? I don't blame him for feeling bitter. But he produced some great music on his own.
CCR had a sound that was and still is unmistakable. Even if you weren’t into rock music. That voice was so great!
Four guys from Northern California who you'd swear were born on the bayou! They nailed the southern sound! Their music was dubbed "swamp rock". But they grew up near Berkley, CA! Lol.
John Fogerty, lead singer is from California, but he has the vibe of Bayou country. And yes, there is cowbell in this one. Good reaction guys.
He asked for cowbell and bam it came shining through 😂😂😂
@@SLesCauley Yep, right on cue 😂
Just one of the greatest bands of all time. Thank you for doing this. Their version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine is 11 minutes of chills
This song played in Adam Sandler's "Waterboy" and a few other movies. Can never go wrong with CCR. ♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely my favorite CCR song...period. Ian Anderson said the same thing the first time he heard it.
CCR "Run through the jungle","Down on the Corner".
Love that swamp rock.
Another great "swamp rock" song of theirs is "Green River". If you were country raised - or went to summer camps as a kid - It will take you back to your childhood. Also, the Doobie Brothers "Black Water" is a must listen.
John Fogerty gets deserved accolades for his songwriting, his arranging, his lead guitar playing (which is underrated IMHO) .... but *nobody* has a voice like that.
This was the opening track of the album, the first thing you hear when you take the record out of the shrinkwrap. This is where the band takes the stage of your stereo and declares, "here's who we are".
Yes a part of it was played on 'Swamp People'. Love that show, I watched 9 or 10 seasons of it.
The water boy is where you heard it lol. Midnight special should be your next
Midnight Special is a great one too...
When I was growing up, I couldn’t wait every week until THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL would come on. It was before MTV. It was the only way to see bands unless you went to a concert. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
@@rogerfleury9759 lol I watched that also. But I was talking about CCR midnight special.
ROB MOST OF THE COW BELLS YOU WILL HEAR WERE FROM THE 60s and 70s BUT HUGE IN THE 70s MAINLY
And in _Return of the Swamp Thing_
This is the theme song to the tv show Swamp People on History Channel
"Choot 'im! Choot 'im!"
BANG! I chot 'em.
Garbage.
I saw John Fogerty at ''Jazzfest'' in New Orleans several years ago. In his 70's now & still killing it. The crowd was College age to folks in their 60's & 70's & everyone was rocking out. He is amazing. So nice to see a new generation of music lovers appreciating the artists of my youth. Great job Guys!!
Yes I saw CCR in Vancouver Canada 1972
Love watching you young folks discovering the music of my youth. The 60s and 70s were just unbelievably packed with talent.
There is a cow bell in this one, most definitely. A rockin' song!! It's impossible to sit still for this song.
I think it was in 1969 that CCR had 4 songs in the top 10. I don't recall anyone else doing that. Thank you for your hard work. Rock on!
@Jim Fellines I was there. Never been a fan of the Beatles but yes, you are correct. I always preferred the Rolling Stones. "I want To Hold Your Hand" vs "Let's Spend The Night Together". : )
Actually, the Bee Gee's had 5 songs in the top 10 at one time during the Saturday Night Fever craze, and they had 6 songs in the top 10 at once that they had written.
4 songs in the top 10 but unbelievably not even one number 1 song. Doesn't seem fair.
@Jim Fellines and another 7 in the top 100 all simultaneously with the lowest ranked being number 79.
@@johnfrancis1528 Creedence comes literally out of Beatles' "Another Girl" and "Me and My Monkey"
For me CCR's most iconic song is "Lookin' Out My Back Door", closely followed by "Bad Moon Rising". Me being born in 1964, everyone of their songs takes me down Memory Lane . . . In my youth they used to play their songs on German radio all the time and I could never stop myself from singing along their catchy tunes (still can't up to this day).
Can't forget those Cotton Fields
John Fogerty has such a distinct voice; even when I hear a CCR song I've never heard before, I can immediately identify his voice. I've heard people try to imitate him, but I've never heard anyone get it right. You should react to "Long As I Can See the Light." It's not one of their biggest hits, but it's such a beautiful song and so full of feeling that it's one of my favorites by Creedence!
The band is from San Fransisco. Apparently, none of them had even been to the Louisiana before they started touring.
Banjo? Try the Stampeders “Sweet City Woman”, Jerry Reed “Eastbound and Down”.are two that come to mind right off the top of my head.
Lola by the kinks or squeezebox by the who are also good banjo tunes
@@jbranum3087 love Squeeze Box but it would have to be the studio version as I haven’t found a “Live” video with the banjo solo part being played by an actual banjo.
Please react to the song CHEVY VAN By Sammy John ,, Released in 1974 ,, You WILL THANK ME I PROMSE ,, THE HARMONIES ARE OUT STANDING
I grew up with these men. I have heard their entire song book. I am a trained musician (guitar). I have loved and heard so many rock bands over several decades, and I have to say that CCR is the greatest of all time. I used to call it "River Rock" . Fogarty's blues edge incorporated into the Rock tempo is brilliant. The guitar is molten rock. No one can sample their music and make it sound like this. Thank you for your appreciation for this pure rock magic. And can I also say that Soul and Blues arrived through the historic black ethos, but Soul and Blues no longer has a color bearier. It reaches and teaches everyone. God bless. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
John Fogerty was from El Cerrito, California. Never stepped a foot in Louisiana, but sang like he was from there.
Next CCR suggestion: "Suzie Q." Killer stuff guaranteed to make you feel the grit. And they're from the swamps of California. Cheers...
The long version
@@olripper2700 absolutely
Saw your comment after requesting Suzi Q myself it's in my top 3 ccr songs
@@olripper2700 yes the 8:40 original version, not the sped up 4 minute version they played on the radio back in the day that just kills the flow of the whole song..
That's the only way I could describe their music to my kids, it's swamp music, they were like what's that 🤣 just listen you'll love it
"Green River" is another of theirs that gives you that Southern feel. So good!💙🌿💚
"Run Through the Jungle"
I listened to them in the 70s and 80s and only found out a few years ago that John Fogarty (the lead singer) was from Cali. So crazy that he captures the pure bayou sound with the soulful, raw voice. The band is awesome too. Other songs I love by them (there are many someone mentioned below) are Run through the Jungle and Green River.
Hands down, no question about it, my favourite song ever. Love watching people discover it for the first time. It hooked me the very first time too.
"Down on the Corner" is my favorite CCR song. It's fun and trying to figure out the words can be a challenge!
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Love this band so much. Been on my funeral playlist since I was a kid. Perfect way to end a day.
The funny thing about CCR is they were from California.
Yes it's crazy but, CCR started just a few blocks down the street from where the Greatful Dead started
@@jameshenry8629 yeah. I read a biography the dead's road manager put out. He talked about it.
What's really funny is that the other badass swamp jam is Black Water by another California band The Doobie Brothers. What the Hell!
San Francisco was a recording Mecca back then, so numerous bands relocated there, on top of all the local talent.
@@michaeldowson6988 I don't remember if the Burrito Bros recorded in la or sf.
John's the lead ...with sing, guitar and writing.. Living legend .......hope he comes back too England
OMG John Fogerty singing I Put A Spell on You is my favorite song of all times.
For a great Southern vibe : “ Black Water” by Doobie Brothers. A total classic !
love that song!!
I’ll add my vote, great tune!
You should listen to "I heard it through the grapevine" and "I put a spell on you". Great guitar work. John Fogarty is the best.
"Have you ever seen the rain" my all time favorite song from CCR. awesome band!
No one has pipes like John did. There's a video of them live at the Royal Albert Hall. Booker T. And the MGs warmed up for them and John was so inspired by the Hammond B3 he featured it on their next album, Pendulum. The vid of Booker T. is on UA-cam. The song is Time is Tight. I saw this thing on PBS when I was a kid and I was so impressed I never forgot it.
Credence Clearwater Revival. Some war protest songs , lots of great songs. Great group. And Steely Dan is a band.
I heard Steely Dan was in reference to a guy named Dan who played Steel guitar. The recordings are with two main guys and different studio musicians on all their albums.
FYI. S. Dan is a reference to a sex toy in a Burroughs novel.
CCR has a huge catalog!, Happy to see you do another song by them!, some great great bands in that era too! Thx guys, you always make me smile!,
My brother , two cousins and I grew up listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival and many other amazing rock bands. Two of my uncles introduced us to rock n roll when we were kids and I am so grateful for that. I learned to appreciate and love good music from a very young age. I am a rock n roller for life.🔥😎🤘❤🎶
They were from El Cerrito, CA which is a small town next to Berkeley, CA. My wife's sister lived there when she went to grad school back in the 80's. People there brag on CCR a lot.
He was also the author of a song called Centerfield about baseball that had such a catchy rhythm to it that baseball has adopted it as one of their go-to motifs that occasionally come on the speakers to rev up the crowds and I'm sure you've had to have heard it. It's just as common at baseball games as the 3-beat rhythm of We Are the Champions by Queen.
Yeah but Jeff, what are you doing about vietnam!!?????.....jerking off to Queen????....What are you going to do when russia invades the Ukraine????wHAT ARE YOU GIOING TO DO???...about vietnam??......you talk alot of rock and roll history, and I appreciate that, but how would you handle the commies invadiiing vietnam????
This song and their version of “Heard It Through the Grapevine” are my favorite CCR songs. Always thought their sound is so Deep South; love it ❤️
John Fogarty is a SF Bay Area kid who figured out how to channel a southern/soul vibe. He has the accent and southernisms down. He was the writer/composer of the songs. He sang and played lead guitar. He WAS CCR. The other guys were top-rate and very good. You can see him in Vegas. He plays here regularly. I saw him a few years ago. Damn the man was in his mid 70s and he kicked ass. Put on the greatest show.
That introduction was about identical to Three Dog Night " Momma Told me not to Come"
Jay, to be fair to Amber, the band WASN'T called "CCR" until relatively recently. Growing up, we referred to them as "Creedence" for short. That might be more recognizable to her...
I don't know. I remember calling them CCR back in the '70s.
@@williamh4172 - OK, perhaps where you lived it was common to say "CCR", but I think that was the exception and not the rule. Like, I don't think they were being called CCR in the papers or on TV, but maybe I just don't remember. 🤷♀️
Diana I'm looking at their 1969 concert poster from Woodstock and they were billed as "CCR." I've never heard anyone just call them Creedence but both probably developed because people are lazy.
@@GT-ry1cv - Again, maybe it's a regional thing, IDK.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
If you are a sports fan, you'll probably like "Centerfield" by CCR.
Sorry, but that's just John. CCR had already split ways. 🤔😎
Being the big sports fan that he is Jay needs to react to "Centerfield".
Put me in Coach I'm ready to play LOL
Thanks for the reminder....I love that song!!!🤘🤘🤘
Yeah, I think I recommended this on another sports centered video they did.
CCR was one of the greatest bands of the 1960s, were up there with a Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five, The Zombies, The Turtles, and so many more bands who were very competitive amongst one another. The music as original, raw, and authentic. Sadly it has become extinct.
1969 brings CCR the smash hit and all the discos all over the world play this... thanks Rob Squad Reaction!
You guys are going down my alley for real. 🔥🤘🏼❤️
Great reaction! Three Dog Night is another incredible band from the same era. I grew up listening to this music.
John Fogerty born in Berkeley California..... amazing how 4 California kids could capture the southern rock vibe so well..... hands down one of the greatest groups to ever make music.
So many off the songs from this era were featured in films, always reminds me of the likes of "good morning Vietnam" or "apocalypse now" so glad you reviewed it, brings back good feelings of my teens.
For Banjo listen to "Dueling Banjos" any version or "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Earl Scruggs
Hell yeah
Good call!!
Bela Fleck for funky jazz banjo.
Killer band, too.
Cow bell? Try Blue Oyster Cult- Don't fear the Reaper.
Definately!
@@bonnyevans1880 Then watch them perform it on SNL ;-)
My thoughts exactly lol!
They played here in Kokomo Indiana where I live during the Haynes Apperson festival a few years ago we have every 4th of July & that song rocked & everyone sang it!
John’ vocal style and great lead guitar carried the group. They were a great band, at any rate. 👍
At 7:43, The alligator swimming under that clear water is really cool!
Stampeders - Sweet City Woman. Most banjo pop/rock song I can think of. Great tune as well.
Absolutely! I LOVED this song in high school… still get a kick out of it
Watch the video and the banjo player is nowhere to be found unless he's behind the drum kit?
Folks, when I was growing up on a farm in swamp country of southeastern NC in the 50s and 60s we called this, "shuffle boogie", because it gets your feet to shuffling, not shaking all over and high energy dance but a shuffle like taking a stroll in the park on a warm, sunny spring day sipping on a cold beer and twirling your baby around and around.
Bad Moon On The Rise and Run Through the Jungle are my favs by CCR, although I loved almost all they did. They are considered a southern rock band I believe. They were not a country band. They did a lot of Vietnam protest songs and also some of their music was put to Vietnam War footage video. Check it out. There were a lot of war protest songs during the 60s and 70s so keep that in mind. A lot of bands made protest songs that were very popular. I have just started following your squad but have been watching you on UA-cam for quite a while. You have posted some of the best bands and singers from that era and IMO was the best era of music of all time. CCR was an extremely popular band and had many #1 hits. Great Band.
My dad when he was in Vietnam in 1968. He met some guys from the Bayou. And they got into CCR. The songs tell a story. And when they came out. They thought they were from New Orleans. But they were from California. They paved the way for Southern Country Rock like 38 Special, Lyndard Skynard The Black Crowes, and Travis Tritt.
What a classic song! Love Love CCR! I’m happy to see younger generations enjoying that unique sound that CCR has!
Its crazy to think they produced all these great songs in just three years together.
This song has such a cool vibe....I could listen to it everyday.
Long as I see the light....CCR!
CCR are one of my favourite bands of all time. They are such a vibe 💚 Their music pops up in multiple films, you'll be surprised how many may sound familiar. 'Green River', 'Suzie Q' 'Run Through the Jungle, 'Bad Moon Rising', all highly recommended 👌 💚
It has always amazed me that a young man from Southern California could catch the vibe of the South So well!
Did y'all ever listen to Mississippi Queen by Mountain. The lead singer, Leslie West has passed. But his music will never be forgotten. It's another Southern brewed song from someone not from the South. Louisiana here. Y'all are great.
The bands that came out of California in the 60's just incredible. The Byrds, The Dead, Jefferson Airplane, CCR, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Santana the list goes on but that's just off the top of my head.
"someday never comes " it wasn't a big hit of theirs but it's my favorite . as young parents should give a listen
So glad to see this one in your list. Probably my fave song of theirs. Also, Green River.
One of the best pure rock and roll songs ever, no tricks loops, etc.
Loved this song. I am from Louisiana. I remember this from high school and then LSU. My favorite line is “chasing down a hoodoo there”.
If you are going to go into a rabbit hole with CCR, you must do Run Through the Jungle and Suzy Q. Absolute fire !!
need to listen to CCR bad moon rising, and run through the jungle.
oh, you may have heard born on the Bayou on the waterboy with Adam Sandler
My fav CCR tune.
Listened to this in British Army all the time. 51yr old Disabled British Army Veteran.
CCR's song Up around the Bend, fantastic.
Love CCR!!! Thanks for revisiting them. If you want to hear the best banjo playing check out Earl Scruggs. He and comedian Steve Martin (members of Men With Banjos Who Know How To Use Them) played Foggy Mt. Breakdown on Letterman. Taylor Swift won a Country Music Award with the song MEAN playing banjo.
Cowbell--Blue Oyster Cult DON'T FEAR THE REAPER (of course!) and ROLLING STONES HONKY TONK WOMEN
John Fogerty is his name and plays guitar. His brother Tom played in the band along with two others. They were from the San Francisco bay area. Need to check out Run Through the Jungle, Down on the Corner, Green River, I Heard it Though the Grapevine (the long version). A lot of their songs were about the times the (Vietnam War), late 60's and early 70's. I even liked them as a kid in the 60's.

John Fogarty was the the brilliantly creative musical force behind the success of CCR. Without him there would never have been a CCR.
John wrote so many great songs. CCR is a band you can’t go wrong with.
His hound dog barking and chasing down a Hoodoo. In Louisiana bayou, a hoodoo is a ghost or spirit.👍
I thought it was "a Who Do There?"
They do a lot of great songs with this type of vibe.They also did several war protest songs(after all,it was the late 60's).They also did some songs that were war protest songs,but the lyrics were purposely obscure so that the "establishment" didn't realize it,because it was hard to get anti war songs on the radio at the time.But,one of the few songs that were actually pure rock and roll songs is called "Traveling Band".It is a little different than their usual music but it's a banger.I think you would like it if you gave it a listen.
Absolutely one of the top Rick bands! I am 77 and still boogie down!
I first heard this group in the 70's, when I was a child and have loved them eversince! That grit and the cajun vibe, just superb.
