CCR seemed like something of an anomaly on their 1968 debut. They were miles from the mind-expanding flower-power explorations of their California contemporaries. They came across as a gritty, hard-hitting band respectful of their blues, country, and rock & roll roots. John Fogerty`s cutting, raspy voice bore echoes of Howlin` Wolf and Little Richard as he delivered lyrics that alternately celebrated and bemoaned a working man`s life, much like Merle Haggard and other `60s country artists. That the strong New Orleans swamp-rock flavor seemed so natural (Californian Fogerty`s bayou tales were pure flights of fancy) was a testament to the strength of CCR`s musical vision. The way they put a respectful but contemporary twist on Dale Hawkins`s "Suzie Q" and the chilling "I Put a Spell on You" shows that they knew enough about the past to step confidently into rock & roll`s future.
