Color Revival

Creedence Clearwater Revival (often known as "CCR") were an American rock band, active 1967–1972, formed by John Fogerty (Vocals And Guitar), Tom Fogerty (Rhythm Guitar), Stu Cook (Bass), and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford (Drums). Despite being from San Francisco, California, the band's music usually invoked imagery of the American South.

une époque où le rock ne cesse de s'éloigner des forces qui ont rendu la musique possible au départ, Creedence Clearwater Revival revient aux sources avec une synthèse concise de rockabilly, de swamp pop, de R&B, et de country. Même si CCR est vraiment un groupe à proprement parler dans ses arrangements serrés et énergiques, sa vision n'en reste pas moins celle du chanteur, compositeur, guitariste et leader John Fogerty. Les compositions classiques de Fogerty pour Creedence évoquent des images éternelles de l'Americana tout reflétant les questions sociales brûlantes de l'actualité. Le génie du groupe résidait dans leur capacité à accomplir cela avec l'énergie juteuse, primaire d'un ensemble rockabilly classique.

Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American rock band that recorded and performed from 1959 to 1972 under various names before settling on Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967. In early songs (“Born On The Bayou”, etc.), CCR created a kind of legend of “simple guys from the good old American South,” which was matched by vocalist John Fogerty’s deliberately blurred pronunciation and the stage persona of the musicians. In the general range of “classic rock” groups, the ensemble, in addition, stood out for its outwardly simple, but masterfully stylized lyrics, rich in social observations and political statements, in particular about the Vietnam War (“Fortunate Son”, “Run Through The Jungle”). Musically, they spanned roots rock, blues rock, southern rock, country rock and blue-eyed soul.

Today, the farmhouse is a rare survivor from another era that can be found sensitively reinterpreted by artists, carefully preserved by original owners, or functionally maintained by farm-to-table artisanal food producers.

Creedence Clearwater Revival As the tumultuous 1960s crashed into the '70s, few American bands could match the fevered output, unified vision, and consistent hit-making ability of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Despite hailing from Northern California, bandleader John Fogerty rooted his imagination in the Deep South, fusing vivid Southern imagery with a distinctive brand of rock & roll that combined swamp pop, blues, R&B, and country. Viewed as outliers in the Bay Area's overwhelmingly psychedelic music scene, CCR's punchy roots rock delivery, blue-collar work ethic, and comparative sobriety helped them quickly surpass their peers and become one of the most prolific and popular bands in the country. In 1969 alone they produced three major albums, headlined the Woodstock Festival, and introduced iconic songs like "Proud Mary" and "Fortunate Son" into the cultural lexicon. The latter of the two went on to become one of the defining protest songs of the Vietnam War, followed closely by "Run Through the Jungle" and "Bad Moon Rising," which, while not written about the war, nonetheless tapped into the nation's zeitgeist and had a similar resonance.
