I've always loved CCR. It's amazing the amount of music they put in such a short amount of time.

Look at those tuck-and-roll Kustom amps! Them's some classics, right there.
CCR may have been the most subversive of all the 60's groups. Fortunatr son was an abthem of the anti-war movement.. Green River was the unoffical song of the river boats, Run through the Jungle applied to everyone outside the fence and Looking out My Back Door was what they dreamed abouy.
I've got a weird factory mistake of this record. On one side it has Side A of Remain in Light and when you filp it over it has Sid A of Steppenwolf's Greatest Hits!
I guess it's my age showing, but although I obviously put Fortunate Son and Run Through The Jungle as Viet Nam related, I never associated the others.CCR may have been the most subversive of all the 60's groups.

It isn't always what the song is about, it is what people feel it is about. Fogarty himself says Run Through The Jungle wasn't about Vietnam but people thought it was. Green River was a transference of being stateside on the bayou to being on the Mekong. My sample size is small but I've had a few tell me so and it may not have been true everywhere and certainly not true for the pre 1970 era.I guess it's my age showing, but although I obviously put Fortunate Son and Run Through The Jungle as Viet Nam related, I never associated the others.
Damn, she's 33! I thought she was like 14,
This was the band I first saw Stapleton in…I know I'm late to the Chris Stapleton train, but he's got an incredible voice, and he seems to be a heck of a guitar player, too. This is from some awards show, but check out his Tiny Desk Concert on YT, as well; it's just Chris, his acoustic guitar, and his wife doing some harmonies.
