“Born On The Bayou” by Creedence Clearwater Revival from the album Bayou Country.
**About Bayou Country**
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s sophomore studio album features the classic hits “Proud Mary,” “Born on the Bayou” and “Bootleg.” The album was first released by Fantasy Records in 1969 and was the first of three CCR albums released that year – the most prolific phase of CCR’s short but extraordinary career. (They released seven studio albums in only four years, from 1968 to 1972.) “Proud Mary” peaked at #2 in the singles chart in 1969, their first of many Creedence tracks to hit the Billboard Top 10.
**About Creedence Clearwater Revival**
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1968 self-titled debut album introduced the world to guitar-playing brothers John and Tom Fogerty, drummer Doug Clifford, and bassist Stu Cook, four young men out of El Cerrito in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though they emerged in a place and time where trippy psychedelic visions were the order of the day, CCR bucked the trends and instead tapped into a rich, traditional seam of American music that connected to blues, country, rockabilly, gospel, folk and R&B.
During their short time together as a band (1968 – 1972), the band enjoyed an unparalleled period of creativity. They’ve sold over 30 million records in the U.S. alone, releasing 14 Top 10 hits, six Platinum albums (two of which went to number one) and one Gold album. They also managed to play over 150 tour dates around the world, including a headlining spot at Woodstock.
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s canon has become a part of the Great American Songbook. Songs like “Bad Moon Rising,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” “Proud Mary,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Travelin’ Band” and “Up Around the Bend” have been ingrained into pop culture — not just as rock staples, but as classic standards.
With so many memorable songs that continue to grace our radio waves and television and movie screens, plus lyrics that still resonate today, Creedence Clearwater Revival is, truly, America’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band.
