If you actively dislike Creedence Clearwater Revival, then I can never respect anything you have to say about anything.

Daltrey struggles with the riff here, but his voice is perfect for it.

Bayou specifically, that Pops Staples tremelo is key.

Also, the choogling.

Good point about Pops

This article ties it all together and singles out the missing link between the two songs in question, James Burton on “Susie Q.”

Still can take or leave the bass solo on Woodstock “Suzie Q” but it’s still better than Skip Battin, say.

Lol at Roger Daltrey saying “It’s the only thing I remember about Woodstock.”

wow!

re: the vinyl, ending side 1 with aimless between-song tuning was a weird choice

lol, at the end of side 2 there's more fiddling, fogerty says 'now we'd like to do a song called i put a spell on you', side ends

here's a nice cover of "born on the bayou" by an indian garage band from the early '70s

"durango" by jj cale also has that same sort of choogle

A key CCR moment for me was honestly buying the first Richard Hell album and hearing the awesome cover of "Walk on the Water." Must have been middle school? Whenever it was, it was the first time I realized there was more to the band than their 20 or so hits.

dang i love the deranged voice on that x'lents recording

lol, at the end of side 2 there's more fiddling, fogerty says 'now we'd like to do a song called i put a spell on you', side ends

yep

i mean, the song's on side 3, but.. how could that have even happened

If side 3 launches right into the song, I guess I can see why they may have cut it that way

Yes that's why but.. surely you put the intro at the start of Side 3 or cut it out entirely??

I have been thinking about who was as relentless at this time and I keep coming back to Buddy Guy

I mean, I don't know what style he was playing at the time but he can do a similar kind of throbbing, hypnotic shred-out

Love Buddy Guy.

Are they playing the “Born on the Bayou” riff slightly different here than on the studio version? Here I here two high Es in a row.

I just want a menswear catalog that offers all of Fogerty’s shirts.

I also need V/VM and The Boredoms to cover Chooglin. Please text me when this is compy. Thank u

“when this is completed”

Literally just disabled autocorrect on this phone this afternoon. I have no excuse

Added "chooglin'" to my phone dictionary years ago.

Well just got the cd. Blooming linernotes are a bit on the nonexistent side aren't they?

Heard a tidbit of the middle-part jam from Ramble Tamble as transition music on my NPR station today and it made my day

Where is the love for that song? It's easily one of my favorite CCR songs for a number of reasons but primarily because there is a monster jam hidden inside the primary song framework. It's like going on a tiny trip to Cosmo's Factory and then being safely delivered home at the end. Good lyrics too.

Could've swore RambleTamble had its own thread, but all I see is New (Old) Warehouse Decree: EVERY FRIDAY is CREEDENCE FRIDAY

that's it? where is the love? ramble tamble is the best

it ranked #2 in the ILM tracks poll

POLLIN' on the river — CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (ILM artist poll #62) RESULTS THREAD

what really needs some love as an underrated deep cut is PAGAN BABY

ok good
#2 is satisfactory :)

one time i was jamming to ramble tamble in my car and i was headed straight on the road, but the guy next to me in the left turn lane missed his light bc he was staring at me while i was chooglin. haha loser!

Pagan Baby is a truly great song title

the guy next to me in the left turn lane missed his light bc he was staring at me while i was chooglin. haha loser!

lol

the power of the choogle

i am surprised about the rather mediocre performance of effigy (#14) in that poll. my ccr island song towering far above the rest. somehow i missed the poll.

pagan baby is a jam.

When possible, make a legal U-turn
make a left at Exit 77, Bayou Country
At the git go, make a right
Keep on choogling (?? miles??)

---> down the road u go

i usually mute my maps app when i'm driving, but if i could get john fogerty to yell "keep on chooglin!" at me every few minutes i'd definitely leave it on

B2 Pagan Baby 6:25
B3 Born on the Bayou 5:10

this is how i got into ccr. love the jams

bad ass, never seen that

lol comp is literally all choogle

That track listing screams "cassette-only, sold for $3 at truck stops."

that's pretty much the only album that should be sold at truck stops

There was a CCR truckstop comps called Hot Sauce or something, definitely had a bottle of hot sauce on the cover. All rockers.
