Without getting political, it may be due to the fact that the attitudes and aesthetic of the time are still relevant. So you could say a large part of it is the desire for some to return to the past. Like smell, music is a useful tool for nostalgia. Similar question, but why do you think Creedence songs still capture the imagination of music fans 50 years after they were created?Īs I type this, I can hear a CCR song coming from the film my kids are watching. His earthy voice, simple chord structures and a message to his audience: "Hey, I'm with you. His audience liked that he sang about them suddenly they had a voice, a representation and not in a negative way.
His observations were of people at that socio-economic level too. The impact Creedence Clearwater Revival has had on the world of music how important are they to the canon of popular music?ĬCR sang about the politics of their time from a people's perspective (for example 'Fortunate Son' – Congress making decisions for them which they didn't want).įogerty was kind of a spokesman for people at a subsistence level. "Credence Clearwater Inspired will be an unmissable event for Brisbane as we transport concert goers back to the birth of roots rock and a time when Creedence was truly the soundtrack of a generation."Īhead of the show, Proud Mary's lead singer Ryan Raffety and bass player Eddie Parise sat down for a chat about all things CCR. "Led by founding members of award-winning Baby Animals, this is a group of superb musicians – Ryan Rafferty, Paul Cushing, Eddie Parise (ex-Baby Animals) and Frank Celenza (ex-Baby Animals) – who are positively the best I have seen in bringing the magic of Creedence's renowned music to life on stage. It was not about trying to imitate the band, but to play their music to the highest level and I was thrilled to find the fantastic WA-based band Proud Mary. "I undertook a search to find the right artists to bring this idea to fruition.
"I had the idea for a long time that there needed to be a concert to celebrate the incomparable Creedence Clearwater, a band who really was here for a short, but good time with a huge number of memorable hits that are loved to this day by people of all ages," Creedence Clearwater Inspired producer Phil Bathols says.
