Creedence Califauxnian Revulsion :kelly:
Ruined my day when I first heard this about Creedence. Also blew my mind when I found out Elton John didn’t write his own lyrics lol
At least Elton John had a prolonged partnership with a lyricist whom he had good chemistry with and seemed to like on a personal level, rather than just working with whoever the record company sends him, which I get the impression is what happens with Garth Brooks.
Caring about whether a band writes their own songs is very boomer, and mostly came about because of mechanical royalties in the United States.
If the artist themself is a boomer then I think judging them by ‘the standards of their day’ is at least partially valid.
I don’t get it what does this have to do with CCR?
They play swamp rock and sing about living in the bayou but the band is from the San Francisco Bay area.
I love credence clearwater revival, such a great southern band that make music about living in the bayou!
They’re actually Californian
Oh well then I don’t like them at all
This schtick bothers me a lot less when Primus does it, and I can’t figure out why.
Cotton Fields was written by Lead Belly, who was actually from rural Louisiana.
