Green River

Rolling Stone Rank: 95

There's one thing that I always found interesting about CCR sound. Now, when you listen to them, try and picture where this music should be taking place. To me, it's a back country sound. It's a downsouth, homegrown, twangy sound. So guess what? John Fogerty and CCR are California surfers boys. Never spent a day outside of California. Probably doesn't mean much to people who were alive when listening to the albums, because they knew the band. But for people in my generation, well I just think it's pretty impressive that they nailed that sound to a T. What do you think?
