Road Trip with Rush: Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 14, 2021
TODD: Every Friday, we’re doing something called Road Trip with Rush where we’re creating a playlist from his bumper music and revisiting his precise commentary that went into it. For this week’s song, we take you back to 1968. Now, I want you to imagine a 17-year-old Rush jamming to this tune on the radio after school.
(Green River)
RUSH: John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Green River, 1968 in the bump rotation. You know, it’s amazing, Mr. Snerdley, how all the music that we grew up with endures and is still played today. I’ll guarantee you the rotgut that is popular Top 40 the last 10 years will not survive after its lost its initial wave of play. In other words, we won’t be playing whoever the hell you could cite, but the stuff from our generation endures.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Creedence or
CCR, was an American rock band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, his brother rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style encompassed the roots rock, swamp rock, and blues rock genres. Despite their San Francisco Bay Area origins, they played in a Southern rock style, with lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other popular elements of Southern United States iconography, as well as political and socially-conscious lyrics about topics including the Vietnam War. The band performed at 1969 s famed Woodstock Festival.
