CCR is a rock band with strong country influences. Nobody should give a shit where the musicians are from. Dwight Yoakam was raised in Ohio and moved to Los Angeles in the 1970s, and Hank Snow was from Nova Scotia, Canada but nobody is going to deny they're country artists. And Hank Williams was from Alabama but wrote a song called Jambalaya (On the Bayou), so should he have been forbidden from recording that song because he wasn't from Louisiana? As I said, CCR was a rock band, but they had several country or country-style songs including Proud Mary, Green River, Lodi, Down on the Corner, Cotton Fields, The Midnight Special, Before You Accuse Me, Lookin' Out My Back Door and Have You Ever Seen the Rain. Why do people need to do purity tests on music all the time? Can't we just accept a song on its own merits and put aside all these stupid classifications? Born on the Bayou is not strictly country music, but who gives a shit? It's close enough for rock 'n' roll.
To me CCR was just another Rock band. Especially at the time country had a different sound when they were doing their own thing. We used to listen to CCR up in Boston on the stoop. We wouldn't be caught listening to country. Especially the corny country of today.
Sky Saxon and the Seeds have a song way back 1966 called Evil Hoodoo. They were a garage psyche band and they we're a trip i presume. you must have an evil hoodoo on me daaaaaaaarlin
CCR is firstly an American rock band. The thing about American rock is that’s it’s roots are very spread out. Country, jazz, blues, classical, swing, Latin, etc. with that said, here in Texas we can do a mean Texas two-step to this song.
John Fogerty was born and raised in California. I'd call Credence a rock band. Definitely influenced by the bayou sound, but this is a Cajun influenced rock band, not a rock influenced Cajun or country band
This song is beyond perfection. CCR paints a hot and humid picture of Louisianas, Bayou. From his Cajun dialect to the mention of Hoodoo. Absolute perfection.
Yooooo thank you guys so much for looping back and hitting this!! Your chat wasn’t wrong. CCR is technically swamp rock/classic rock? Some crossover though. That’s why I wanted your guys’ take! You guys rock!! 🔥🔥🔥
Cool to see Andy show up on another reactor channel I like. (Where's Alex? : ) "But they really are what country ‘should’ve’ been (to me)." These young pups don't know country. ; )
Here's an interesting artist you ever want to listen to him, one of my favorites. Mixes, southern rock, blues and country - he's the legend, Hank Williams JR. Can't wait for your next reaction Monday, look forward to Monday/Wednesday/Friday's reactions. Do a live music stream soon please.
CCR is pretty much in their own category (some have said it's "Swamp Rock") Earliest American Rock 'n' Roll was an evolved music form combining Blues/jazz/country/gospel ---- later evolutions brought rockabilly - southern rock etc. And - as an aside - CCR was from Oakland California ----
I'm 66 years old and while I was growing up, there were two kinds of music---rock and country. Since then, rock has divided itself into different genres such as metal, grunge, alt, glam, r&b, soul, blues, southern, pop, etc. Country never has divided itself and that's what leads to discussions like this. I always considered this song to me more southern rock than county. Glad to see you touch on this.
CCR essentially invented a genre, which is today called Roots Rock. They were not a country act, but they did have strong influences from country. They probably were more influenced by blues than country, but the blues, country, rockabilly, and rock all fuse together in their genre. I think American Roots Rock is the best descriptive term for CCR's genre.
That song has such an awesome groove it positively choogles. Creedence Clearwater Revival are the greatest rock 'n' roll band to come out of the U.S.A in my humble opinion.
FYI, CCR is a California band. Formed in El Cerrito, California even though they sing a lot about the south for whatever reason. They have a definite sound of their own.
If you've committed a "sin" by labeling CCR a country band, the perfect atonement would be to listen to more CCR. They're one of the all-time great American rock bands and a few of their best songs include Proud Mary, Green River, and Have You Ever Seen the Rain?. They sound like they were born on the bayou but they were actually a Southern California band.
I actually thought they were a northern California band (Bay Area) but maybe I'm mistaken. In any event, John Fogerty was definitely not born on the Bayou... but he sounded like he was!
CCR was one of the amazing groups that made timeless music in the late 60’s and early 70’s. CCR has been defined as dirty swamp water soul music. #HOG here for CCR too. ✌🏽
60’s and 70’s “southern rock “ would definitely be considered a variation of country nowadays. Great music regardless! Good music is good music. Keep it up!
CCR was kind of one of the first "fusion" bands. Mix of blues, rock, country, and jazz all mixed together. I always picture being in a Louisiana swamp when I hear these guys
The leader and lead singer and song writer for the band was John Fogerty. Fogerty was born in Berkeley, California, and grew up in El Cerrito, California. He wasn't from Louisiana.
CCR has a huge catalog of great music and when most people hear them for the first time they think they are from the south but they are actually from Northern California but definitely a rabbit hole y’all will enjoy going down
So, as long as you're in the Bayou, you seriously need to check out a fellow named Doug Kershaw. He's a real Cajun fiddler/singer/songwriter who'll knock your socks off with his energy. I recommend a song called Diggy Liggy Lo, particularly a live version that can be found on UA-cam. Also; Lousisiana Man, and his cover of Orange Blossom Special is fantastic, as well.
Seriously, you won't regret it. React to this...don't watch ahead, just watch and react. ua-cam.com/video/ubSCPBkTyWY/v-deo.html I guarantee you'll never see anyone have more fun than he does while playing music.
I'm pretty sure that CCR isn't country, because I like it. LOL. It usually fits into the Vietnam Rock niche for me. Bluegrass is heavy metal with a banjo, love the stuff.
Legendary group. One of the first 45 speed records I bought when I was 5 years old was CCR "Proud Mary". Another great tune if you haven't done it yet.
You guys want to chill to some real bluesy swamp rock, try "Feelin Blue", CCR from Willy And the Poorboys album. There's a lot on that album, but that "Feelin Blue" is one of the best.
Never heard CCR called "country". No matter. I love CCR and I love country music. (JC is a California boy.) CCR's brief career was at the top of "rock" - Classic Rock, today. Rock, Southern Rock, Soul and Country were my staples.
My grandson was born with " Have you ever seen the Rain" playing in the delivery room.( My daughter requested CCR be playing). My grandson's name is "Creedence". We usually call him " Creed".
I've been subscribed to Andy and Alex for a long time, they are great and so is TNT, shocking that they would be listing to the jamboree; they usually do rock reactions. Interesting.
I would love for them to do a live stream like you do Friday nights - always look forward to it. Metal Meltdown is some heavy stuff though, the metal I listen to is a little less aggressive.
Fun fact: John forgery had never even visited Louisiana or the south. This is just what he imagined it would be like. They were born and raised outside San Francisco. Also, this most definitely is not country. It is rock, or more specifically, swamp rock. Which they pretty much invented.
I'm 63 and grew up in bars in Texas! And most was country! But like Chris LeDoux song Every cowboy likes a little rock and roll!! Just like Elvis's songs today are played right alone with country and rock songs. And on the coast of Texas you would for sure hear Born on the bayou! I have some Creole blood in me along with many other things! I'm a Heinz 57!!
Everyone was blending and inventing multiple musical styles back then. It was such an adventure! This is pure Swamp Rock and CCR were the masters at delivering it even though they hailed from Berkeley, CA!
CCR is not a country band but they did have several crossover hits that played on country radio stations.That being said they are one of my fav bands of all time.
The best way to describe them is Rock with a big dose of country. But they also did MoTown covers. They grew up in El Cerrito about 10 miles north of Oakland. Older brother Tom had his own band and younger brother John, starting in middle school, had his own. Tom joined John's band and that eventually became CCR. They had never been to Louisiana until after this song became a hit. If you want a real jam treat try their extended cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. They were versatile.
Gotta a bit of a sickly feeling when you started talking CCR and Country in the same breath. These boys are Classic Rock, period!!! From the San Francisco Bay Area, like so many great bands of the 60's.
"Cotton Fields" is their most country sounding song that I remember. My dad used to have a 45 of that. I never considered them country, though. Definitely southern rock, but as others said, they have influences from a variety of genres. Some other great ones by them are "Lodi", "Travelin' Band", "Down on the Corner", and "Lookin' Out My Back Door".
Back in the day as I was growing up with this music I always considered this band to be a rock band. In retrospect I believe there are some crossover genres within much of their music. To me, a moot point. This song transports me straight up into the bayou running from the man and you can't ask more from a song than that......... regardless of genre! Great reaction guys, keep it rolling.
We partied to John Fogerty & CCR way back, once you listen to them you’ll want to groove all day. They have so many great songs : Run Through the Jungle, Proud Mary, SuzyQ, Cotton Fields, I Heard It Through The Grapevine. When Marvin Gaye was asked about their rendition ( of his song) Marvin said ‘It’s Swinging 😻Marvin loved R&R 🔥🥰
While Creedence did develop a good "Swamp rock and blues" sound, it's important to know that the members all came from the Bay area of San Francisco. But I love their sound.
Use to dance to the 11 1/2 minute version of this back in the day,they are from Oakland Ca.. Their music has been categorically called Southern Rock but John Doherty has done everything from earlier Rock,Blues ,Country and the Southern Rock sound and by the way he is a very nice guy.
It's perfectly okay for a band to draw from multiple genres in their influences. I might throw Looking Out My Back Door on a Rockin' Country mix. I'd still put them under Rock as a whole though. This track sounds like rock n roll. Also the rhythm of the guitar almost sounds like old school ska in parts.
IMO people rush to pigeonhole every song into a genre. One of the first albums I ever owned was Creedence. I say, "just enjoy the music; don't try to label it". Love you guys!
CCR had Southern Rock influences, similar place and time that Lynyrd Skynyrd spawned from. The genre that paved the way for the present day country which is a much safer and simpler than its predecessors. Most country songs I hear today seem to trade away essence to climb Nashville's top-40 or commercial potential. I would highly recommend the 'Bad Moon Rising', 'Ballad of Curtis Loew' and 'Long As I Can See the Light' if you want something that can bridge the gaps between genre's.

Was the Jerry Reed song y'all listened to called "Amos Moses"??
Hey!!! So nice of Andy & Alex!!! 💜 🧡
CCR is from San Francisco California. Their music genre includes "roots rock, swamp rock, blues rock, southern rock, country rock and blue eyed soul."
Yep Elcirto they met in junior high school and started a band
@@EricGordon-j2s The city they came from is El Cerrito, CA. It's about a half hour drive from my home.
CCR is firstly an American rock band. The thing about American rock is that’s it’s roots are very spread out. Country, jazz, blues, classical, swing, Latin, etc. with that said, here in Texas we can do a mean Texas two-step to this song.
John Fogerty was born and raised in California. I'd call Credence a rock band. Definitely influenced by the bayou sound, but this is a Cajun influenced rock band, not a rock influenced Cajun or country band
You are correct. CCR had many songs of Country/Rock Music.
They were rock for their time period and now considered Classic Rock. They are one of the best all time rock bands.
This song is beyond perfection. CCR paints a hot and humid picture of Louisianas, Bayou. From his Cajun dialect to the mention of Hoodoo. Absolute perfection.
Yooooo thank you guys so much for looping back and hitting this!!
Your chat wasn’t wrong. CCR is technically swamp rock/classic rock? Some crossover though. That’s why I wanted your guys’ take! You guys rock!! 🔥🔥🔥

Green River is another one of their hits with the same southern vibe.
And Proud Mary! 💙🎼✌️
If y'all liked this, then you have to listen to- Keep On Chooglin & Bootleg, you'll love both👍✌️
I certainly wouldn’t consider them “country”, but they are awesome. This song is so SWAMPY!
Yet they're from California!
This is BOOGIE music 🎶
Agreed.great band.
@@agargoyle12345 me also
CCR's musical style encompassed roots rock, swamp rock, blues rock, Southern rock, country rock, and blue-eyed soul.
CCR essentially invented a genre, which is today called Roots Rock. They were not a country act, but they did have strong influences from country. They probably were more influenced by blues than country, but the blues, country, rockabilly, and rock all fuse together in their genre. I think American Roots Rock is the best descriptive term for CCR's genre.
CCR is an American rock band out of the bay area California and John Fogerty is the songwriter; lead singer and lead guitarist.
That song has such an awesome groove it positively choogles.
Creedence Clearwater Revival are the greatest rock 'n' roll band to come out of the U.S.A in my humble opinion.
FYI, CCR is a California band. Formed in El Cerrito, California even though they sing a lot about the south for whatever reason. They have a definite sound of their own.

They sound like they were born on the bayou but they were actually a Southern California band.
I agree. I never thought of them as country!
Fortune Son , Running through the jungle are also two of their great songs
I actually thought they were a northern California band (Bay Area) but maybe I'm mistaken. In any event, John Fogerty was definitely not born on the Bayou... but he sounded like he was!
They are from the Bay not southern Cali. Also they are not county they are rock and roll all the way
Rock/Folk - certainly not country.
I've been listening to CCR for over 50 years and while they have some country and backwoods themes in some songs they're definitely a Rock Band!
CCR was played at most house parties in the 70's. I still listen every time I drive to the beach.
As someone born and raised on the bayou, I love this song! Thank you for doing it!
CCR is definitely not country.However, they are one of the great rock bands of all time. This is a California band.
CCR was one of the amazing groups that made timeless music in the late 60’s and early 70’s.
CCR has been defined as dirty swamp water soul music.
#HOG here for CCR too. ✌🏽
Credence was so Funky in their very early days as a Band in 1968-70. "Suzy Q" is another early classic with the same sort of style.
Thanks
Classic rock at it's finest. When I first heard CCR, I thought these bay area boys were actually from the deep south.
My favorite CCR tune and you guys are the best!
CCR = Swamp Rock - or - country rock - or - southern rock, Blues rock - a mix really (it's all music)
John and Tom were born in Berkeley. Oakland is also one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States. Berkeley is adjacent to Oakland.
El Cerrito actually. Near Berkeley.
60’s and 70’s “southern rock “ would definitely be considered a variation of country nowadays. Great music regardless! Good music is good music. Keep it up!

CCR are a great band!!! There version of I heard it through the Grapevine is brillaint!! 👌
The singer has great soulful voice!!!
CCR is a blues based Southern Rock band. They are occasionally played on Country stations but are usually found on Rock N Roll stations
The band is from El Cerrito , town across the bay from San Francisco. They used to be called the Goliwogs .
The one thing you can't argue about is how popular they were in the Vietnam era. Particularly this song
1970 and the song war a smash hit in all the discos worldwide-Born on the bayou from CCR. Thanks from Germany!
That voice…so iconic!!!✌️
As Vietnam veteran, hearing CCR and a few other groups of the era brings back a lot of memories.
CCR has a huge catalog of great music and when most people hear them for the first time they think they are from the south but they are actually from Northern California but definitely a rabbit hole y’all will enjoy going down
CCR has always been my favorite rock band of old Also as a kid, I heard them on country stations as much as on rock ones.
So, as long as you're in the Bayou, you seriously need to check out a fellow named Doug Kershaw. He's a real Cajun fiddler/singer/songwriter who'll knock your socks off with his energy. I recommend a song called Diggy Liggy Lo, particularly a live version that can be found on UA-cam. Also; Lousisiana Man, and his cover of Orange Blossom Special is fantastic, as well.

Speaking Of Southern Rock & Must Hear Classics,, These 2 Show Their Talent & Versatility,, BLACKFOOT "TRAIN,, TRAIN" & "HIGHWAY SONG"
You guys want to chill to some real bluesy swamp rock, try "Feelin Blue", CCR from Willy And the Poorboys album. There's a lot on that album, but that "Feelin Blue" is one of the best.

Creedence Clearwater Revival Genres::
Swamp Rock,, Roots Rock,, Southern Rock,, Blues Rock,, Blue Eyed Soul & Country Rock.
My grandson was born with " Have you ever seen the Rain" playing in the delivery room.( My daughter requested CCR be playing). My grandson's name is "Creedence". We usually call him " Creed".
Creedence Clearwater Revival Are Legendary Music Icons With A Large Catalog Of Classic Hits & The Kings Of "Swamp Music".
"Run through the jungle" Creedence
These 2 Classics Are Sure To Put A Smile On Your Face,, WET WILLIE "KEEP ON SMILIN'" & "STREET CORNER SERENADE"
They invented a whole new genre for Creedence, Swamp Rock.
I've been subscribed to Andy and Alex for a long time, they are great and so is TNT, shocking that they would be listing to the jamboree; they usually do rock reactions. Interesting.

The group is originally from Lodi , California. John Fogerty is one of my favorite artists of all time.
CCR is a rockin roll band, I've listened to them for 50 years.
Hey TNT, just wanna say big ups from the UK! Y'all always be puttin a smile on my face and a new song on my spotify playlist :)
Fun fact: John forgery had never even visited Louisiana or the south. This is just what he imagined it would be like. They were born and raised outside San Francisco. Also, this most definitely is not country. It is rock, or more specifically, swamp rock. Which they pretty much invented.
I never hear them on old country stations, but on oldies rock stations.
In this period of music many groups used blues with rock to make southern rock! CCR were from California .but used this style of music.
Classic rock i would say
Pure feel-good music.
New Orleans is a trip to a different world.Had such a good time there.The buildings,the food,and parades.And much more.
I'm 63 and grew up in bars in Texas! And most was country! But like Chris LeDoux song Every cowboy likes a little rock and roll!! Just like Elvis's songs today are played right alone with country and rock songs. And on the coast of Texas you would for sure hear Born on the bayou! I have some Creole blood in me along with many other things! I'm a Heinz 57!!
California band with a cajun beat.... Awesome!
Creedence is "Swamp Rock" not Country but i see where someone might think that because a lot of their songs have a twangy sound. Love them ☺
The lead singer and guitar players has such a unique voice. His name is John Fogerty.
Rock for sure, has the country feel and the crowd always loves this when our blues band plays it.
2 MUST HEAR SOUTHERN ROCK CLASSICS,, THE OUTLAWS "HURRY SUNDOWN" & "THERE GOES ANOTHER LOVE SONG".
It’s called crossover appeal! That’s a category, crossover.
One of the greatest rock&roll songs of all time by one of the best bands of all time! You'd never know they're from the bay area CA!!!
Everyone was blending and inventing multiple musical styles back then. It was such an adventure! This is pure Swamp Rock and CCR were the masters at delivering it even though they hailed from Berkeley, CA!
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
"SUZIE Q" & "RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE"..MUST HEAR CLASSICS.
CCR is not a country band but they did have several crossover hits that played on country radio stations.That being said they are one of my fav bands of all time.
CCR is an awesome rabbit hole to go down.
Semantics. Good music is good music. Glad you two are so open to, and appreciative of, everything you expose yourselves to. Enjoy!
I really love how you guys dance in your chairs! Keep it up!
CCR was a great California band. Peace out.
One of their best…for sure !!!
GREAT MUSIC & A STYLE ALL THEIR OWN,, WORLD PARTY "ALL COME TRUE" & "SHIP OF FOOLS" (BOTH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEOS)
The best way to describe them is Rock with a big dose of country. But they also did MoTown covers. They grew up in El Cerrito about 10 miles north of Oakland.

CCR was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California located nearby UC Berkeley. So yeah, we do speak and sing songs with a cassian dialect.
Grew up with CCR and never get tired of their music!
Well been listening to CCR since the early 70's and always thought of them as a rock band with a Cajun sound. Needs more cowbell!
"Cotton Fields" is their most country sounding song that I remember. My dad used to have a 45 of that. I never considered them country, though. Definitely southern rock, but as others said, they have influences from a variety of genres.
Some other great ones by them are "Lodi", "Travelin' Band", "Down on the Corner", and "Lookin' Out My Back Door".
Born there. One thing is for sure, even if they don't like you, they still feed you and get you on your way.
Back in the day as I was growing up with this music I always considered this band to be a rock band. In retrospect I believe there are some crossover genres within much of their music.

The Kings of Country Rock !!!😀😀😀
They are their own first! They come from a lot of influences! They also influence way more!
While Creedence did develop a good "Swamp rock and blues" sound, it's important to know that the members all came from the Bay area of San Francisco. But I love their sound.
The Bay Area is filled with Okies & such that came during the Great Depression , so there’s plenty of Country in Northern California!
A few of my favorites CCR songs: Someday never comes, Long as I can see the light, and Walking in a hurricane (John Fogerty)
Use to dance to the 11 1/2 minute version of this back in the day,they are from Oakland Ca.. Their music has been categorically called Southern Rock but John Doherty has done everything from earlier Rock,Blues ,Country and the Southern Rock sound and by the way he is a very nice guy.
It's perfectly okay for a band to draw from multiple genres in their influences. I might throw Looking Out My Back Door on a Rockin' Country mix. I'd still put them under Rock as a whole though. This track sounds like rock n roll. Also the rhythm of the guitar almost sounds like old school ska in parts.
An unmistakable Caribbean/island vibe too! 😎
I am from Louisiana and this music was sort of the soundtrack of my youth.
TnT, you should out their cover of Heard through the Grapevine! Also. Nina Simone's I put a Spell on you, also great cover by them!!
IMO people rush to pigeonhole every song into a genre. One of the first albums I ever owned was Creedence. I say, "just enjoy the music; don't try to label it". Love you guys!
CCR had Southern Rock influences, similar place and time that Lynyrd Skynyrd spawned from.

Most country songs I hear today seem to trade away essence to climb Nashville's top-40 or commercial potential.
I would highly recommend the 'Bad Moon Rising', 'Ballad of Curtis Loew' and 'Long As I Can See the Light' if you want something that can bridge the gaps between genre's.
Sounds like country to me.Every country should enjoy it :D
So much incredible music comes from the blues!
Imagine,a California boy with a thick Cajun accent,lol
For some killer blues check out CCR "long as I can see the light"
You liked that didn't you? No hiding that.
My generation of 50 years age adored these guys. Good music transcends all ages
