Creedence Clearwater Revival: The '60s

Roots rockers Creedence Clearwater Revival developed their signature muddy sound from a mix of early rock, blues, and country that suggested the deepest Delta origins. The band's ‘60s sides hinged on single-chord shuffles driven by the stinging twang and unearthly howl of frontman John Fogerty. Their Southern-fried style spawned a slew of enduring hits that later influenced the alt-country scene.
