Latest / Deprogrammed Music Podcast / Creedence Clearwater Revival
Transcript
- 0:33It's the program, the podcast where we try to get you into a
- 0:37band. That's right.
- 0:38We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
- 0:42and listen. My name is Justin, and you could
- 0:45call me band curious because indeed I am curious about bands.
- 0:49So I like to bring people on, my friends and those around me to
- 0:54talk about bands that they like. And today I'm going low hanging
- 1:00fruit today. I haven't done this one this in
- 1:02a while, but Randy knows you could say I was born on the
- 1:05Bayou because we're going to be talking about Creedence
- 1:09Clearwater Revival today. And Anderson, do you actually
- 1:13put CCR up on the board? So talk to me about why it is
- 1:17you feel like we needed to cover this band.
- 1:22Yeah, I put these guys up because I missed The Beach Boys.
- 1:25And when you're doing American Music, one O 1 CCRI think has to
- 1:31come next. They don't have as long of a
- 1:35chapter as The Beach Boys do. Like they were together for a
- 1:38pretty short time, but what they did while they were together is
- 1:43nothing short of amazing now. Brian, I can't remember if this
- 1:49was like a a situation where it came together on and after the
- 1:53fact where you guys were just talking about stuff that you had
- 1:55in common or if this is something Anderson put up there
- 1:58and you just jumped in on. I'm not shocked that you're
- 2:03here, but considering kind of what we've covered, you know,
- 2:08especially in more recent times, what makes you jump on CCR?
- 2:14Yeah, I think it was in Discord chat.
- 2:16But I am a huge classic rock fan.
- 2:21You know, this is the stuff that my dad listened to when I was a
- 2:24kid. I used to listen.
- 2:27We had like 3 like rock radio stations in Connecticut.
- 2:30There was like modern rock, heavy rock and then classic
- 2:34rock. And I would go between like all
- 2:36three. So yeah, this is a band that I
- 2:39know well, like I will do anything like sixties, 70's rock
- 2:44music. And yeah, this is like, this is
- 2:49like grassroots American band. Like this is like, like, like
- 2:55your favorite band's favorite band kind of kind of group, You
- 3:00know, they were only together for a couple years and they put
- 3:03out like, you know, four or five albums and a shit ton of
- 3:11singles. Like when you, I'm sure we'll
- 3:16get into it. But when you go through the
- 3:17list, we start listening, you're like, but I know this song, I
- 3:21know this song, I know this song.
- 3:23Like just enough songs that you wouldn't even know some of them
- 3:29are even them. It's just they're right up there
- 3:36with like great historical classic rock bands and need to
- 3:40be acknowledged as such. Acknowledging, yeah, I feel like
- 3:46that's kind of what this this episode is just an
- 3:49acknowledgement that this band existed.
- 3:51But maybe I'm wrong, Randy. Like this kind of got brought up
- 3:55in into one of our other chats and you said, yeah, I'd, I'd do
- 3:58that. I would do that and that's
- 4:03actually how it all turned out. And I'm, I'm currently doing
- 4:06that as this very minute. I did the research for this.
- 4:10I listened to the band. I listened to a lot of the songs
- 4:13that I knew and some that I didn't know.
- 4:14And I'm ready to go. Oh wait, what are we doing
- 4:17again? Was this the *NSYNC episode?
- 4:22Anyway, anyway, I think I want to elaborate on what you guys
- 4:27said. The American rock band, like
- 4:31this is the sound of America. I think, you know, when you
- 4:35think of American Music, you kind of think of like a very
- 4:39Southern style. Because you know, if if you're
- 4:42talking about just like classic rock from a classic rock
- 4:46standpoint, bands that took what Led Zeppelin were doing, took
- 4:50what The Beatles and Rolling Stones were doing, like that is
- 4:53a British sound that was developed over there.
- 4:56Rock rock'n'roll isn't naturally British per SE, but the way that
- 5:02it starts in America is. It starts in the Deep South, it
- 5:05starts in places like Mississippi, it starts in places
- 5:08like Saint Louis. The, you know, the old Blues,
- 5:13the real bluesy rock'n'roll guys like Robert Johnson, that kind
- 5:17of started the, you know, as the forefathers of of the genre.
- 5:23And then it kind of develops into something that is a unique
- 5:29sound to this country when you think about it, because, you
- 5:33know, as far as American rock goes, you know, you got so many
- 5:39different bands you can find. I think that you you said it
- 5:41really well, Anderson, that Beach Boys define what the
- 5:46American sound is as well. It's just a very typical
- 5:51California sound. When you listen to them, it
- 5:53makes you feel like you're in California, that you're on a
- 5:57beach. And that's such a like a it,
- 6:02it's such a definitive American thing.
- 6:05And then when you listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival, it
- 6:08makes you feel like you're down in the Deep South.
- 6:10It makes you feel like you're in Louisiana there.
- 6:13How many songs reference the Bayou?
- 6:15How many songs can you visualize yourself?
- 6:20You're on like just this, this house on a river, like sitting
- 6:25on a porch playing a banjo. Like no other countries have
- 6:29that specific sound to them. So to me, Korean's Clearwater
- 6:35Revival is specifically American grassroots style music, and
- 6:41that's what fascinates them about me so much.
- 6:44And even expanding on that a little bit, it's that they're
- 6:48not even from like New Orleans. You listen to them, you're like,
- 6:52Oh my God, this is so you know, like you would think that they
- 6:56would be brought up exactly how they sound.
- 6:59No, they're San Francisco band. They're San Francisco band.
- 7:03They just were able to take the sound of their predecessors and
- 7:09build off of it that a lot of, you know, black rock'n'roll
- 7:13artists that came before them, you know, like Chuck Berry and
- 7:17like Little Richard. They're very much inspired by
- 7:22Little Richard and they turned it into just songs that kind of
- 7:27define what it's like to be in this country.
- 7:29And and to go even a little bit further than that, you know,
- 7:34you, you guys mentioned sort of the historical angle too, but
- 7:37like they're part of they're a fabric of American history as
- 7:41well. The one of the things I don't
- 7:43love about modern day music is that everybody just kind of
- 7:47ignores what's around them and they just kind of sing about
- 7:53what's personal to them that doesn't attach to the outside
- 7:57world. And I like when I hear music
- 8:00that can relate to all of that, when lyrics can relate to it.
- 8:04So to me, a song like Fortunate Son is extremely important in
- 8:10the grand scheme of not just American Music, but American
- 8:13history because it takes you back to the Vietnam War, what
- 8:18was going on at the time. And like, I think everybody here
- 8:22has seen Forrest Gump probably more than once.
- 8:25The that probably has a little bit to do with it because
- 8:29there's that scene where they're in Vietnam and they're flying on
- 8:33a helicopter and the song plays. And the song's premise, which of
- 8:38course, like Born in the USA and other what seemingly are
- 8:43patriotic songs, is not patriotic in any way, shape or
- 8:48form. It's telling you the truth about
- 8:50what was going on with the draft that time.
- 8:52And it's such an important song that it, it just defines who we
- 8:59are and what we went through as a nation.
- 9:01I, I, I firmly believe that. So, you know, there's, there's a
- 9:05lot of great sticking points to credence.
- 9:08And yes, they didn't have that long of a time frame, but I
- 9:11think that's kind of the amazing thing about them is that they
- 9:14were able to create how many massive hits this these aren't
- 9:19just like, yeah, songs I know on the radio.
- 9:22I feel like somebody, one of you guys said that you might not
- 9:26know it's credence. I think you explicitly know that
- 9:29these songs are credence. Like John Fogerty's voice is
- 9:33very like, you recognize that immediately.
- 9:38You recognize the sound, even if you know they're not, you know,
- 9:42singing in a part or something like that.
- 9:44Like it's just very much who they were.
- 9:47And, you know, inviting kind of broke this band apart.
- 9:51But they're a terrific example of a band that took what was
- 9:57going on at the time and made you feel like you were part of
- 10:00it. I wholeheartedly agree with your
- 10:05point about it being not patriotic, but I I do want to
- 10:12take this moment to kind of reclaim what the word patriotic
- 10:16should mean. Cause in in reality isn't isn't
- 10:20that the most patriotic like standing?
- 10:23Up 100% and I guess that's what I mean about.
- 10:26Oh, I know exactly. Greenwood.
- 10:28Yeah, it's. Not like Greenwood, where it's
- 10:30like, let's pucker up and kiss America's ass.
- 10:32Right, 'cause you're 1000% right.
- 10:36The way the word patriotic has been taken is it is not that,
- 10:42but it really is in that it's a protest song.
- 10:45It is. It is like you said, it's
- 10:47standing up and saying, hey, this is what's happening.
- 10:50Are you paying attention? But like I also, it is
- 10:55interesting. I never thought about this band
- 10:58to all the points that you guys are talking about, like how how
- 11:02woven into my life they've been. I love when we come across these
- 11:06bands that have that have kind of like always been there and I
- 11:09just never really kind of gave them the time of day.
- 11:12Like you already mentioned, Forrest Gump, of course, you
- 11:15know, that's that's the easy one.
- 11:17The other one is as I'm becoming an adult, Big Lebowski.
- 11:22Oh, yeah. Can't say much for the credence.
- 11:25Like when when the tape, the cassette tape gets his car gets
- 11:29stolen. But you know, just stuff like
- 11:31that. And so many songs, you know, as
- 11:34as we go through them appear on soundtracks and again, AMFM
- 11:39radio, like just the this band has kind of always been there
- 11:44for me in in that very same way that you were talking about,
- 11:48like how it is kind of woven into America, like like
- 11:52baseball, like the 4th of July, like, like fireworks.
- 11:57Like it, it is just kind of part of it.
- 11:59And, you know, we're just a little podcast, but it is nice
- 12:03that we can kind of investigate this band in this way and kind
- 12:08of bring some light. Cause even if you don't like the
- 12:12music, which I don't know how you don't like, I may not love
- 12:16all of their songs. I may not have, you know, love
- 12:19their entire discography. But like the songs that, you
- 12:22know, like when you go back and listen to them.
- 12:26Oh yeah, fuck yeah. That, that, that kind of rules.
- 12:29So we and kind of to your point, Randy, you know, it's them.
- 12:33Like, you know what you're listening to.
- 12:37We keep hammering home the point that they're not around long,
- 12:40Anderson. Like, so there isn't a ton of
- 12:43music to come through here. But like when you're looking to
- 12:47pluck out 20, is it just kind of greatest hits and and call it a
- 12:51day or did you have a different approach?
- 12:55Yeah. I mean, the bulk of what this
- 12:57band did happened in the course of three years, maybe a little
- 13:02less than three years. No, it's wild.
- 13:05But in that time they put out six albums and nobody does that
- 13:09anymore. And to most of our generations
- 13:14credits, the band starts us off. The best selling album is their
- 13:2020 greatest hits. And so I mean, that is a place
- 13:25you could start. It's not where I started.
- 13:28I just ran through the list. I picked out 14 that I had to
- 13:31have in and then I just put those to the side and listen to
- 13:37everything else and just dropped songs as they weren't catching
- 13:42my ear until I got that list down to about 10.
- 13:46And then I just put them together, made four more cuts
- 13:49and came up with 2010 minutes ago.
- 13:55Sometimes it'd be that way, man. Brian, is this like a more
- 14:00intricate list for you, disco? Or again, is it just kind of
- 14:05halfway full before you even start?
- 14:09Oh, it was. It was 3/4 full before I
- 14:11started. Like I said, I started.
- 14:13I started with the songs that I knew just from listening to,
- 14:17just from listening to like classic rock radio.
- 14:19There were a couple songs that I found later that I knew, but I
- 14:22didn't know the title of them. But when it came up, I was like,
- 14:26oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course it's a big radio hit.
- 14:28But like, I didn't know the title.
- 14:31So when I got there, I I said there was like 16 songs that
- 14:36that like I knew. And I'm like, OK, this is this
- 14:38is, this is not good. I did have to make some tough
- 14:42cuts, you know, a couple songs that I'm probably going to get
- 14:48like groaned at. I, I didn't take.
- 14:52There is 2 songs in particular which carry a same theme.
- 14:57One of them was right, one of them is wrong, but actually, no,
- 15:00the other one's not wrong. It's just that the one I took
- 15:03is, is, is my favorite CCR song. So I had to take that one.
- 15:09There's songs that deal with. Precipitation.
- 15:12Yeah, yeah. There are songs that are covers.
- 15:20OK, OK. They say there's songs that you
- 15:21think are covers, but they're not.
- 15:24So that that made it tough. And then and then it was it was
- 15:31just making the hard cuts. There was, there was, there was
- 15:38a record on there that kind of ignored because it was too
- 15:43different and but we'll get there.
- 15:46All right, Randy, it's your your first time back in a minute was,
- 15:51was this like just getting on the bike or did you have a
- 15:55different approach for this specific band?
- 15:58No, not at all. I think this this was fairly
- 16:01easy. I think like you guys said,
- 16:04there were like 1213 off the bat and that you can just, you know,
- 16:08home run hitters and I, I didn't like go through and say, you
- 16:13know what, this is too big of a song.
- 16:15I'd rather have people hear this.
- 16:17I think there was one massive song that I didn't put on and
- 16:22that's, you know, I'll have my reason for it.
- 16:25That will contradict other reasons that other songs don't
- 16:28go on. But I, you know, I don't care.
- 16:32It's one of those things where it's like, OK, I think we can
- 16:35make a list without X and try to make a list with Y, you know,
- 16:39it's no big deal. But yeah, that that last album,
- 16:44Mardi Gras is, you know, here's my thing.
- 16:52Like, I get when you're in a band and you're starting to see
- 16:55some mainstream success and it's all about one guy.
- 16:59I can get how egos can get busted a little bit and you can
- 17:04get mad and you can be like, hey, well, you know, I want a
- 17:08piece of this pie. Because John Fogerty was writing
- 17:10all the songs. That's he, he just was, you
- 17:14know, everybody else was producing their parts, but the
- 17:19band wanted to be a bigger part of what they were doing.
- 17:27So they make this record and the other guys start singing songs
- 17:32and writing songs and it's almost like they ruin the sound
- 17:38of credence 'cause it's so specific.
- 17:42It's such a unique style. You need John Fogerty's voice to
- 17:47tell you the stories that when other guys come in and sing this
- 17:53and you're like, who is this generic sounding regular dude?
- 17:57Like it doesn't, he's not bringing me to the Deep South
- 18:01here or anything like that. Like it, it just, it dissuades
- 18:05you. It dissuades you a little bit.
- 18:07And it's disappointing that that's how it all ended for
- 18:10them. Because look, I, I get it.
- 18:14I get when you're doing something big and everybody
- 18:19wants to have a creative vision with it, but God, you have to
- 18:24have some semblance of other understanding that if you want
- 18:28this for your lives, if you want to do this for a career, he's
- 18:32your money maker. You have to ride him.
- 18:35And I mean, his brother was like the first one to quit the band.
- 18:39And he was like, Nah, I don't want anything to do with this.
- 18:41And I, I get that working with him was not easy that he took,
- 18:46you know, he took a large role out of it.
- 18:48But to me it's like, God, just when you get something, ride
- 18:56with it, you know, don't allow your ego to bruise like that.
- 19:00And it just kind of like they've never had a reunion really like
- 19:06as far as I know. And he kind of took the songs
- 19:09and like, I think he has like the full rights to the songs or
- 19:14something like that. It was, there was a a long time
- 19:18legal battle with all this shit. So yeah, it's just they sued.
- 19:23Him over. They sued him over one of his
- 19:25own songs. Right, he.
- 19:27He took the music from one of these songs he used in his solo
- 19:31career and they sued him. He's like, it's my song, I wrote
- 19:34him. Right, right.
- 19:37I mean, he, he he did write a song for everyone, but probably
- 19:41wasn't that. Yeah.
- 19:44I mean, just just just go with your signature sound and you
- 19:49know, that's yeah, that was the only like disappointing thing
- 19:53was just going through that album.
- 19:54I'm like, yeah, no, we just don't need anything from this.
- 19:58But I, I will say that I think that when we do after the fact,
- 20:03you brought up The Big Lebowski, which I am so sorry that I
- 20:07failed to mention that movie in my first speech because that
- 20:11really should be the first thing you mentioned when mentioning
- 20:14Credence. Like how many males from ages 35
- 20:20to 50? Like for no reason at all love
- 20:25CCR and hate the Eagles just because of that movie.
- 20:30I actually like the Eagles too, but yeah, see.
- 20:33I went for years, like I, I'm not a huge fan of the Eagles or
- 20:37anything like that, but like seeing that movie and being
- 20:40around friends that like didn't care either way before the movie
- 20:44came out. And then once the movie came
- 20:46out, they were like, yeah, fuck the Eagles.
- 20:48We're on a bad day. I don't want to listen to the
- 20:49fucking Eagles. Like in after the fact.
- 20:52We should do this dissertation of like how that has ruined
- 20:57music for males in between a certain age in this generation
- 21:03because it's just fascinating that that one movie could do
- 21:06that. You heard it here folks, a
- 21:09dollar a month gets you in the door.
- 21:10Listen to us talk about Lebowski and and how Lebowski ruined the
- 21:15Eagles. I So a couple things I want, I
- 21:20want to, I mean, it is good to hear everybody's thoughts on
- 21:23Mardi Gras. I I wish I would have cut the
- 21:28two that I kept now because it sounds like I could have safely
- 21:31done that. I I didn't dislike it, but I
- 21:37definitely like I had a lot on the first pass because I'm
- 21:41usually pretty open on the first pass and then you weigh it
- 21:45against the rest of the discography and like the songs I
- 21:47had to go in, you're like, why would I waste the spot?
- 21:51Like I mean it just no, but I always hesitate to use the word
- 22:01easy and then I always repeat myself by saying I hesitate to
- 22:04use the word easy. But like I mean, this is pretty
- 22:07easy. Like there were weren't any
- 22:10really tough cuts. The toughest thing I had to do
- 22:15is there was a cover that had made it all the way to like 22
- 22:18or 21. And if you guys have it, I'm
- 22:21going to be totally fine with it.
- 22:22It's a great fucking song. It's a great cover, But like the
- 22:27reason it didn't make mine was because it's a cover.
- 22:30And sometimes that is the reason I, I, I probably don't have
- 22:38every song that you think I'm going to have, but I probably
- 22:41have most of them. And I, I do, I don't think I
- 22:50left any out that I would have known.
- 22:53I get it. I don't think I'm wording that
- 22:55right, but like, I think you get what I'm trying to say is if I,
- 23:00if I didn't know it like right off the bat, that's the only
- 23:03reason it didn't get in or didn't get on my list.
- 23:06So it's a this is a very agreeable band any way you look
- 23:11at it. We're probably going to have
- 23:13most of it unanimously, don't you think, Anderson?
- 23:16Like for the final say, how many do you think we get through?
- 23:21Well, I think I have 14 at least with each one of you.
- 23:27It's a matter of how many all four of us have, and I'm still
- 23:32going to go high. I'm going to say 8.
- 23:34I like that. I think that's that's very
- 23:37reasonable actually. What do you think, Brian?
- 23:41I'm gonna go even, I'm gonna go even higher on this.
- 23:45I'm gonna, I'm gonna play the game.
- 23:46I'm gonna take the 11. How?
- 23:49Dare you? That was my move.
- 23:53I came up with the 11 rule. How dare you, damn it.
- 23:59I used I used the 11 rule in our in our Boston episode too.
- 24:03I I got it there. Yeah, 8 and 11, Randy, like so
- 24:09now you got to change it would I mean, do you go higher than 11
- 24:13or? No, I'm going to go 9 because if
- 24:16you go higher than 11, then there's still a conversation
- 24:19there. So I wanna, I wanna eliminate
- 24:23the conversation cuz that's, that's the fun thing.
- 24:26And it's no fun taking 10 cuz it's like, oh, I took ten.
- 24:30OK, yeah, right. Nothing happens.
- 24:33So I'm gonna, I'm gonna take 9. We had 10 that.
- 24:37You get to pick the number one song, but that's not fair.
- 24:41Yeah. No, that's you gotta have
- 24:43everybody in on that. Yeah.
- 24:46I mean, the number one, that's the conversation today.
- 24:48Yeah, yeah, probably it's the that's that should be a good
- 24:52conversation. There's a lot of choices.
- 24:54Well, Randy, since you said it's no fun taking 10, I'm going to
- 24:57take 10. Well, you're an asshole.
- 25:02So we're going to take a quick pause and on the other side of
- 25:06it, we're going to play the game.
- 25:07It's the program, Jack. And with that, the name of the
- 25:16game is deprogrammed. The four of us have come through
- 25:19the Creedence Clearwater Revival, better known as CCR,
- 25:23which will probably say more of, or maybe Credence.
- 25:27I'm not going to say the whole band until the end.
- 25:30Maybe we have each plucked out 20 songs and now we're going to
- 25:35mash together, Mash them together in an attempt to create
- 25:38a top ten sort of kit for you. In case you have never listened
- 25:41to CCR, I'm going to test the waters here.
- 25:46This feels like it should be a home run.
- 25:50As far as I know, it's a home run, but I'm going with it first
- 25:55because, because the waterboy #1 and #2 I just forgotten how much
- 26:04I love this song. I, it just, when it started
- 26:06playing, I was like, oh fuck yeah, duh.
- 26:09I knew this was CCR. I knew that, but I didn't think
- 26:12about it. And so I'm going with Born on
- 26:14the Bayou. Oh.
- 26:17Yeah, yeah, I got. Yeah, I mean, I would have been
- 26:23OK if one of you didn't, but like, to me, that has to be a
- 26:29three at least. So we'll take that.
- 26:32Born on the Bayou. Oh, let me turn that down.
- 26:36Spotify is. Good.
- 26:37Yeah, I definitely. I definitely think of the Water
- 26:39Boy every time I hear that song. Now like.
- 26:42I love that you mentioned the Water Boy and Adam Sandler cuz
- 26:45there's a ton of songs on in their discography that are like
- 26:49Sandler songs totally. Like Keep on Juglin and Oogie
- 26:54Doogie or whatever. That's what's that.
- 26:56Ooby doobie. Ooby doobie.
- 26:57Yeah, yeah. Ooby doobie.
- 27:00Those are like Sandler words. Yeah, yeah, totally.
- 27:06All right. Boom.
- 27:07Born of the Bayou is in Anderson.
- 27:10Where you want to go? I am going to go with a song
- 27:15that influenced I think 2 songs from Presidents the United
- 27:20States of America of all people. Look it out my back door.
- 27:24Yes, I got it. Oh yeah.
- 27:28That's another. Song that gave me really really
- 27:30strong vibes of feather plucking and the old man on the front
- 27:35porch. Old man on the back porch.
- 27:37Old man on the back porch. Old man on the back porch.
- 27:40In that old man is me. Sorry.
- 27:44You bring you bring up the presidents and I got to I got to
- 27:47talk about them. Hold on.
- 27:50Which one are we doing here? Looking out my back door.
- 27:54Oh, come on. I listen to this again, like
- 27:58right before we went on and like it's just a a fun little Ripper.
- 28:05And this is another one that like when it came up in the
- 28:10playlist, I was like, I knew it was them.
- 28:13You know, I didn't not know it was them.
- 28:16But like against sometimes the math doesn't always math boom.
- 28:21Like I'm like, Oh yeah, fuck yeah, like I I love this song.
- 28:25I didn't realize how much I loved it until we did this.
- 28:31So boom, looking out my back door is in.
- 28:36I also I know that's been in a bunch of movies and I would not
- 28:40be the least bit surprised if a Sandler.
- 28:42Movie that's in Lebowski. Yeah, Lebowski.
- 28:45That's right after he gets like a prostate exam or something
- 28:47like that. He's smoking a joint, driving a
- 28:50car and this was playing. Pounding his pounding his
- 28:54ceiling to it there. You.
- 28:58Go boom, boom, boom, boom. All right, Brian, if you want to
- 29:03hit that 11, that means you got to keep keep the heat.
- 29:06We're going to keep on trucking, baby.
- 29:07I was going to use a song, but Randy talked it up so much
- 29:15earlier. I'm gonna leave it for.
- 29:17Him. Sorry.
- 29:19Do what you wanna do. Also now I'll go somewhere else,
- 29:25we'll go with about old school rock'n'roll.
- 29:28Like this is like the most old school rock'n'roll sounding song
- 29:32they have. How about a traveling band?
- 29:35I knew you were gonna say that, yeah.
- 29:37Yeah, I got it. Yeah, I got it to me.
- 29:40To me it sounds like 2 old school songs.
- 29:43It sounds like Good Golly Miss Molly, which they cover, but it
- 29:47also sounds like Jailhouse Rock A.
- 29:49Little bit, yeah. It's like, and it's, it's, you
- 29:54know, modern, you know, late 60s modern enough.
- 29:58It's like, is this a punk song? Like, just like the elements of
- 30:04the music are there. And yeah, it's a fucking banger.
- 30:10God Dang it, where is it? Did I not mark it there?
- 30:22I marked it here. I did not mark it there.
- 30:27I actually really enjoyed Cosmos Factory.
- 30:30For the record, it's such a great album.
- 30:33Like all time albums, this should be mentioned on Rolling
- 30:38Stones lists and stuff like that in like the top 25.
- 30:42It's it's that good. Yeah, absolutely.
- 30:46I had to pick it up on vinyl after listening to it for this.
- 30:50That's funny because I was thinking about going to my shop
- 30:52up the road and being like, hey man, where's the credence?
- 30:57Point me in the. I've had this in Bayou country
- 30:59for years. These are two the other one
- 31:02standards on my record player. All right, so we take traveling
- 31:09band is in. All right, Randy.
- 31:17Let's try and keep good juju going.
- 31:19I'm not going to take the one that Brian's suggesting because
- 31:22fuck you, I do what I want. I'm going to take maybe my
- 31:27favorite Creedence song up around the bend.
- 31:30Yeah. Yep, yeah.
- 31:34That's an easy one. I, I think, I don't know that
- 31:39it's my favorite, but I, I think it definitely has weight like
- 31:45again, like before, before doing this, you know, I'd heard it God
- 31:53knows how many times and just, it was always just kind of
- 31:56there, you know, I obviously liked it on the first pass or
- 32:00recognized it on the first pass. I liked it enough to keep it
- 32:03around on the 2nd and I was like just kind of going through, you
- 32:07know, my list and going through some of the songs just before we
- 32:10came on. And when I push play on up
- 32:13around the bend, I was like, Oh yeah, like it's jaunty.
- 32:18It's kind of fun. It's bouncy.
- 32:20Like that guitar riff is like it's an all timer.
- 32:25Like just because it doesn't RIP doesn't mean it's not an all
- 32:28timer. Like that's just a catchy ass
- 32:31riff coming in. Kind of rips.
- 32:35Yeah, I mean, you know it. The whole thing of it.
- 32:39Yeah. It's just, it's it's just a good
- 32:41one. Sometimes that's the best.
- 32:44Less words is better. All right, Boom.
- 32:49Up around the bend gets us up to four.
- 32:52Well, now, do I beat the snake? No.
- 32:54You know what? This one is less of less of a
- 32:59chance, but it feels like a home run.
- 33:03How about bad moon rising? Yeah.
- 33:07Yeah. Yeah, I thought so.
- 33:10One of the best examples of misheard lyrics.
- 33:14Yeah, yeah, there's a bathroom on the right.
- 33:22Where did it go? Fucking hell, I should start
- 33:29queuing them up. There we go.
- 33:34It's also like one of the most imitatable songs of all time.
- 33:37Oh, for sure. Like just that, that beginning I
- 33:41see, like everybody, you Can't Sing that song without doing the
- 33:46voice. Boom, bad mood and horizon is
- 33:53in. I also feel like is that like a
- 33:57it's just definitely a Sports Center thing.
- 33:59But my immediate thought was. Andre Bad moon rising, Yes.
- 34:03That's right. Yeah, There we go.
- 34:08All right, boom. Up to five in Anderson Europe.
- 34:15All right, when I was a kid I remember hearing some CCR songs
- 34:20set to like Hanna Barbera Eclipse, like Scooby-doo and
- 34:24shit, and one of them was Bad Moon Rising.
- 34:28The other one that I can remember was Down on the Corner.
- 34:33Yeah. Yeah, I got it.
- 34:35Yeah. Hey, I was worried that was
- 34:38going to be the one you were talking about.
- 34:40Really the that you left off. No, no, no, no.
- 34:44Like that song? That's fun, isn't it?
- 34:48Holy hilarious. So again, this is a song that's
- 34:53kind of lived in my life like forever.
- 34:56Like I never didn't know it. You know what I mean?
- 35:00Today, I was today years old when I realized he was saying
- 35:04Willie and the poor boys are playing.
- 35:10I like I was listening to it and I was looking at the name of the
- 35:12record and I was like Willie and the oh, OK, you know, I didn't.
- 35:20I never said I was a smart man. I may not be a smart man, Jenny,
- 35:26but I do know I do know what I hear eventually, I guess
- 35:33eventually I get it right. All right down on the corner is
- 35:36in Brian all. Right.
- 35:41I'm going to go here. I have AI have a story here for
- 35:47this song that I'm sure Randy of what people appreciate and so
- 35:51he's gonna know where I'm going. July of 2003 saw my first ever
- 35:55pulled Pearl Jam show and I don't I get goosebumps a lot
- 36:01when songs are played. This cover was played that
- 36:04night. The opening guitar riff just
- 36:06gave me instant goosebumps. We talked it up earlier.
- 36:10We got to have it on there. Fortunate son.
- 36:13Yeah, yeah. Yeah, can't skip it.
- 36:17Yeah, yeah, it's another one that I I I've always liked that
- 36:22song. Like, it's not one I didn't
- 36:24realize I liked, but like when I came around to it on this, like,
- 36:28Oh yeah. Like, I don't know if it it's
- 36:32just the perfect time to come up in my life to like kind of
- 36:35really hit home. But yeah, that riff again, all
- 36:41timer. Yeah, yeah, well, I'll take home
- 36:44because you know you know 2003 pro game was playing that like
- 36:50almost every night, right Andy? Like, yeah, a lot.
- 36:52They're playing Fortunate Son because he just wrote like an F
- 36:56you to George Bush like album so all.
- 37:03Right, Boom, just like that. I mean, it feels, feels like
- 37:09there's a lot out there too. That song in particular, you
- 37:14close your eyes, you see a Vietnam helicopter because I
- 37:18mean, it's not just for us dump, it's every Vietnam movie ever
- 37:21has that song in it. Yep.
- 37:23So like, if you hear that and you're have a television near
- 37:27you, there's either a helicopter or a piss stop hippie.
- 37:32Yep, all right. Fortunate son is in Randy.
- 37:41I'm gonna keep good juju going. I like when you throw a perfect
- 37:44game here. I'm gonna take a chance because
- 37:49I know that precipitation was something that came up before,
- 37:51and there are a couple of songs about precipitation.
- 37:55You'll always see a meme every now and again.
- 37:57That is like a Spotify playlist. It's like why John Fogarty hates
- 38:01rain or something like that. I'm gonna say I think the
- 38:06stronger of the 2 is pretty obvious here.
- 38:10Of the obvious, you know, ones with rain in the title.
- 38:15I'm gonna see, I'm gonna say, have you ever seen rain?
- 38:17Yeah, I got it. Oh yeah.
- 38:19Yep, that's the one. Yeah, that's the one.
- 38:21That's my favorite season star song.
- 38:24Hey, I wasn't sure. Perfect game is intact.
- 38:28Yeah, well, I mean. Tough.
- 38:32Yeah. I mean, anyway, you, you slice
- 38:35it, even if we, if we stay perfect, then it gets it's tough
- 38:39when you start making the cuts. There it is.
- 38:46Yeah. Just.
- 38:50Having to find them because we've just, you know, Homer
- 38:54after Homer after Homer. It's like a a relief start or
- 38:59something. Like, right, you're starting a
- 39:02middle release guy. Yeah, All right, come on.
- 39:11Do what you're supposed to do. There you go.
- 39:16All right, stop that. Now we're back to me A now I
- 39:24feel like I might be the one who might be the spoiler.
- 39:37How about Green River? Yes.
- 39:41Yeah, Yep. Hey.
- 39:45That's the song. So this is the song I said that
- 39:48I knew, but I didn't know the title of it.
- 39:51And when I started playing, I was like, I know this song,
- 39:54like, very, very well and I'm singing along to it.
- 39:56I never knew what it was called because you know.
- 40:00And you should, since you are a Pearl Jam fan, add in that
- 40:03element. That's true, Yeah.
- 40:06And the radio didn't. The radio didn't tell us what
- 40:08song was playing. Right.
- 40:12Oh, man, I don't care how we do from here.
- 40:15Like, if we stop hitting homers from here, it's all right
- 40:18because we're at 9, fellas. That's really good.
- 40:21Yeah. I mean, we don't really have our
- 40:24work cut out for us anymore. Green Rivers Inn, Anderson.
- 40:31OK, now I got to decide if I want to be the one to kill the
- 40:33streak. I'm going to take a shot here at
- 40:39one that I did not know but I instantly fell in love with it.
- 40:45Hey, tonight. Yeah, I have it.
- 40:50Yeah. Oh wow, you guys all do and I
- 40:52don't. Yeah, I.
- 40:55Actually need a conversation. So so when I mentioned, when I
- 40:59said in the thing before songs you didn't know were them, I
- 41:02knew this song and for some reason in my head I thought it
- 41:06was of the band. I don't know why I had it in my
- 41:12head that tonight was by the band.
- 41:14So when it came out, I was like, oh, just a cover.
- 41:16So then like I looked it up. I'm like, Oh no, it was never
- 41:19performed by the band all. Right.
- 41:23We'll take that, I guess. That's one band where you can
- 41:25say that the two kind of do cross paths a little bit.
- 41:30It's, it's just that one song. For some reason, John's voice
- 41:32sounds a little bit different and I was just the way he's
- 41:35singing and I, I don't know why I thought it was the band.
- 41:40Well, I mean, pressure's off, Brian.
- 41:41I, if nothing else, were already done.
- 41:45Like, you know what I mean? Yeah.
- 41:47Any way you look. Yeah, I mean, no, cuz we're at
- 41:509:00, so really, Randy would have final say, which means he
- 41:54could pick whatever he wanted for song #10 that's right.
- 41:58All right, Brian, you're up. I'm gonna go with the song that
- 42:03caused the lawsuit. He stole the music from run
- 42:06through the jungle. That stole, but he used the
- 42:08music for run through jungle for the old man down the road.
- 42:10So run through the jungle. Yep.
- 42:14I do have it. Man, that's three.
- 42:17Yeah, it's a 3. I was listening to that before
- 42:23we went on, and that's another one of those ones where I kind
- 42:26of wanted to make space, but I didn't have time to listen to
- 42:31all the songs that I wasn't, you know, wasn't 100% sure on.
- 42:38So we'll take a three there. All right, Randy.
- 42:45I'm going to play this that is also on the rain playlist but
- 42:50isn't specifically a rain song. It came out of the sky.
- 42:53I don't. Have, yeah.
- 42:58Yeah, fucking love that song. I know it's a great song, it's
- 43:04one of the songs where it's like, this wasn't a massive hit
- 43:07or anything like that, but damn, like sure as hell could have
- 43:10been. Yeah, it's just fun.
- 43:16That was only a two. Yeah, that was a 2, Brian.
- 43:18You didn't have it. No, I did not have it.
- 43:22Yeah, twos are twos are done. Yeah, I mean, anyway, I mean,
- 43:28unless we stay right at 9 and you really want to take that 1
- 43:31then? Yeah, I could.
- 43:33Yeah, it's very possible. I'm looking at them and that's
- 43:37very possible. I might want to come down to
- 43:39that, but we'll see. Yeah.
- 43:42All right, check. To me, I feel like this gave me
- 43:51an early definition to put around.
- 43:54Like there is this feeling to CCR that kind of the title of
- 44:00this song kind of kind of like puts it all all out there.
- 44:06The working man. It's a good thought.
- 44:11When I think of the song title Working Man, I think Rush
- 44:15that's, but that's not why I didn't take it so.
- 44:17Yeah, I don't I. Don't either.
- 44:20OK, nice little bluesy rocks on there.
- 44:24I'm the first in the bin. That makes that makes sense. 4
- 44:28rounds. I just made it the last three
- 44:30without being on board. So.
- 44:33All right, Anderson. Back around to me.
- 44:38This one's not going to get a lot of love, but I wanted to
- 44:41mention it just so I could. Dumb to get a Woodstock
- 44:44reference. And CCR was the first band to
- 44:49actually be signed for Woodstock, and a lot of people
- 44:53don't remember that they were even in it because they made one
- 44:57of the great mistakes of rock music and took the stage after
- 45:01the Grateful Dead. And so nobody was awake or
- 45:07coherent enough to really know what was happening.
- 45:11But one that really reminds me of a dead song is Graveyard
- 45:15Train. Oh, that was on my list and I
- 45:20cut it. Yeah, I like that song a lot
- 45:24though. Very good though, yeah.
- 45:26I can't save you there, sorry. Yeah, that long as hell.
- 45:29But it's it's a good one. Hey, that's something we forgot
- 45:34to mention. They are, like you mentioned,
- 45:37Grateful Dead. They are a jam band and they're
- 45:39like one of, you know, the original type of jam bands
- 45:42there. Some of these songs on these
- 45:44records, there's at least like one or two eight minute songs
- 45:48and they're all fucking phenomenal.
- 45:52All right, Brian. I think we got a couple more
- 45:58hits here, so let's go through one of them.
- 46:01How about Susie Q? Yeah, that's not their song, but
- 46:06it's a classic. Oh, I didn't.
- 46:09You know what? I didn't even think to look up
- 46:10if it was a cover or not. Yeah, it's like a standard rock
- 46:13song. Yeah.
- 46:14It's a very good standard. Rock song don't have it.
- 46:16The Rolling Stones did it too. But I think of Credence when I
- 46:20think of this song. Yeah, me too.
- 46:22That's the three. That's two.
- 46:26I don't have it either. It's OK, one of my last cuts it
- 46:29was it was hard to hard to leave it off all.
- 46:35Right, Randy? You know, there there's, it's
- 46:47funny, I want to go to this conversation because I think
- 46:50this conversation is kind of funny.
- 46:52There's some songs that you might not know the titles to
- 46:54just because of the way that he's pronouncing certain words.
- 47:01And this one, I didn't realize that he was singing the title in
- 47:05the song until I looked at it and put it together.
- 47:08I'm like, is he really singing that?
- 47:11It sounds like he's saying hooley, hooley, but he's singing
- 47:15bootleg, bootleg, bootleg, and it does not sound like he's
- 47:19singing bootleg at all. So does anybody have bootleg?
- 47:22I got it. I don't.
- 47:25I do not either all. Right.
- 47:28We'll take the two there. Good one.
- 47:29But you know what? That's, that's fine, yeah.
- 47:32Yeah, yeah, all right. We're good.
- 47:35I think maybe we got one more round in US and then we'll dump
- 47:39out. Even though I still have like, I
- 47:41think like 7 songs. We just have like so many
- 47:47already through. Yeah, I got sticks left.
- 47:51I have 8I. Have 7.
- 47:56I know two of these are binners for sure, so we'll go back to
- 48:04the beginning. How about Porterville?
- 48:07No, yeah. Yeah.
- 48:08Hey, oh wow, I'll. Take a three there.
- 48:12Yeah, that's all right by me. Boom.
- 48:17And. Yo, there's a there's a big song
- 48:20that no one said yet and I don't, I don't, I don't have it,
- 48:23but I was hoping to have a conversation about it.
- 48:24So I hope someone brings it up. It's.
- 48:27Probably. It's probably the one that I
- 48:29didn't take. If it hasn't, I didn't taken
- 48:32yet. I didn't take.
- 48:34It for a certain reason so. Yeah, well, that kind of thing
- 48:38too, but. Contradicts.
- 48:41Contradicts. The reason why I took something
- 48:44so. I think I know which one you're
- 48:47saying, and it was my #20 and probably for the same reason.
- 48:53But that's not where I'm going right now.
- 48:54I'm going to. If it was good enough for Dolly
- 48:58Parton to cover, I can play it long as I can see the light.
- 49:01Yeah, I got it. That that was my last cut.
- 49:06OK. And I only cut it because I'm
- 49:09like I got 6 off of Cosmos and. I had seven, yeah.
- 49:16I could easily take it. So is that a three or a 233?
- 49:23Yeah, deserving of the three. Yeah.
- 49:27All right, boom, boom, boom. Kind of going through all mine
- 49:31here, Brian. I love this song.
- 49:37How about? Effigy.
- 49:41Yeah, I love it too. Just so cool.
- 49:46And it's kind of like the the guitar in that.
- 49:49The guitar sound in that is so unique.
- 49:56This is like the like one of the like the definitely like jam
- 49:59band songs. And yeah, it's it's very Allman
- 50:03Brothers. It's very well you're an Allman
- 50:04brother back in yet, but. Is that only two?
- 50:09No, the two, Yep. Yeah.
- 50:11Oh that song is so good. All right, Randy.
- 50:18I think this is a safe period now to take this.
- 50:22If I'm the only one on it, I'm totally fine with it.
- 50:24But like, this is one of those things where if I put on Cosmos
- 50:29and I hear this song, I'm just like, just sit back and enjoy
- 50:32this ride because it's fucking phenomenal.
- 50:35I mean, no, CCR is not known for this song.
- 50:38It's obviously a Marvin Gaye song, and I think it wasn't even
- 50:42his song. It was done by somebody before
- 50:44him, but this is so good when you hear them jam on it and I
- 50:50couldn't help but but take it heard it through the Grapevine.
- 50:54It's just an amazing rendition it.
- 50:56Really is I, you know, I, I have to give it that and I gave it
- 51:01consideration, but ultimately it was just the weight of a cover
- 51:06sometimes. Yep.
- 51:09And. Yeah, I didn't.
- 51:12Yeah, I didn't either. Being 8 minutes long kind of
- 51:17hurt that one for me. Oh, that's I definitely love
- 51:20his. I definitely love love their
- 51:22version of Grapevine. Yeah, it's, it's so good.
- 51:27I couldn't help myself. Hoy it it through the grade.
- 51:37I'm going to start at the top here and just dump out.
- 51:42The word heard that OK, it's OK. All right, starting at the top
- 51:50penthouse Popper. No.
- 51:54No. Yes, Hey, I do.
- 51:56I'll. Take it away.
- 51:58Yeah, that's that's all right. Feeling blue?
- 52:06Nope, that was on my list. I think that was the last five.
- 52:11Nope for me all. Right into the bin.
- 52:14Pagan baby. Yes.
- 52:20No, I don't have that either all.
- 52:25Right. Take a two there.
- 52:26Born to move. Another close one, but no.
- 52:32No. Also no.
- 52:35Is that the one with the organ section that just explodes?
- 52:40I think so. I didn't take.
- 52:42Notes. So good.
- 52:44All right, these ones are for sure banners, I'm pretty sure
- 52:47because they're from Mardi Gras. Need someone to hold.
- 52:53Yeah. Now.
- 52:56And someday never comes. Yeah.
- 53:00That one I have. Wow.
- 53:01Oh, OK, didn't see that coming there.
- 53:04You go. I'll take a two there, all
- 53:07right. And last but not least, I do
- 53:10have to admit that I basically only took this mostly because I
- 53:14loved the rest of this record and kind of fell into it, and
- 53:18also for recognition purposes. Like I recognized it and that
- 53:24got it to #20 Who'll stop the rain?
- 53:30Yes. I don't have it.
- 53:33Yeah, that's why I held off. I'll take it.
- 53:38Can't have two. Races.
- 53:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, So we'll take a three
- 53:44there. That's not bad.
- 53:46I mean, we're definitely done though.
- 53:48Like we can't get any more into the unanimous, so Randy's going
- 53:51to hold on and get that nine so that here you go.
- 53:55If it's not taking that 11. Yeah, yeah.
- 53:57All right. Hold on.
- 54:01Let me shake this up and then we'll have Anderson been out.
- 54:08All right, there we go. What do you got left there,
- 54:10Anderson? OK I got 3 left.
- 54:14The one that barely made the cut was proud Mary.
- 54:18Is that the one that you're talking about, Brian?
- 54:20Yeah, yeah. I couldn't take it because I
- 54:22think Tina Turner made it her own. 100% that's exactly why I
- 54:26didn't take it. And also like, I feel like if it
- 54:30makes the list, then it's just kind of like we we just put on
- 54:33their most popular, well known song and like, like, I just
- 54:38don't sit around and want to listen to that song, you know?
- 54:42Yeah, yeah. The deserve to make somebody's
- 54:46list. For sure, I'm glad it came up.
- 54:50Yeah, and I mean between the two I was thinking about the other
- 54:54one didn't get mentioned at all, so I feel fine.
- 54:58Lodi was also on my list. Lodi, No.
- 55:03Oh, I have that. That was one.
- 55:07I kept wanting to cut it, but every time I listened to it, I
- 55:10just couldn't. Yeah.
- 55:12And my last one was Ramble. Tamble that.
- 55:16Was a very close enough for me right bin all right, Brian.
- 55:27Our last one's it's just the thought.
- 55:31Nope. And what was the last one?
- 55:36I have it the midnight special. Very, very close.
- 55:40That was another cover. But yeah, classic type song.
- 55:47My last two are Keep on Choogling and wrote a song for
- 55:51Everyone I. Means my 21 didn't even get
- 56:00mentioned. Neither did mine.
- 56:04Yeah, I, I, I really like their rendition of Put a Spell On You.
- 56:10Like, it was #1 it's very good. But I, that was the reason I, I
- 56:17dumped it at the last minute. I'm like, I, I found plenty of
- 56:22other things to like by this band and actually other covers
- 56:27that I, I liked that they did. I can't I couldn't justify
- 56:31bringing that one, so it ended up bidding.
- 56:36All right, let's shift this and then I'll read these nine down
- 56:42and Randy will get his final say.
- 56:46I mean, it's as easy as that sometimes.
- 56:49All right, We got born on the Bayou.
- 56:50Bad moon rising traveling band. Looking out my back door, up
- 56:54around the bend down in the corner.
- 56:55Fortunate sun, Green River. Have you ever seen the rain?
- 57:00Those are the 9, Randy what's #10.
- 57:04It came out of the sky. Well, all right.
- 57:07The hell. Yeah, boom.
- 57:10And that was the one I knew it wasn't going to get a unanimous
- 57:14pick, but I'm glad that one other person took it because I
- 57:18was in on it and immediately said oh fuck yeah, the song is
- 57:22so good. Well, it's neat to you didn't
- 57:27have to pluck out of the bin, you know.
- 57:29Yeah, technically you did because it was a 2 and we had so
- 57:33many. But like, really it it would
- 57:36have been in our conversation to fill out that 10 spot.
- 57:42So boom, it came out of the sky is our number 10.
- 57:46Let me run it down one last go and then we'll crank up the
- 57:49heat. Born on the Bayou bedroom
- 57:51rising, travelling ban looking out my back door up around the
- 57:54bend down on the corner. Fortunate sun Green River.
- 57:56Have you ever seen the rain? It came out of the sky,
- 57:59Anderson. You already mentioned this.
- 58:00And and, you know, we all kind of agreed this is the
- 58:03conversation, right? Like, which one of these is the
- 58:06one like it? You could make a case for most
- 58:12of these. Yeah.
- 58:15If I wanted to, I can make a case for all ten of them, but
- 58:18I'm not going to do that. So Fortunate Son is the very,
- 58:24very low hanging fruit and I tend to avoid that.
- 58:29I'm going to say it's up around the bend.
- 58:31I like that. Wow, yeah.
- 58:35I'm into that. What do you think, Brian?
- 58:39I mean, like you said, it's anything.
- 58:44Yeah. Fortunate Son and Born the Bayou
- 58:46I think are both like low hanging fruit.
- 58:50Bad Moon rising a little bit too.
- 58:52Yeah, Bad Moon Rising. They're just So what, you're so
- 58:54well known for that. And that's mostly known because
- 58:57people because it's in like the misheard of lyrics things all
- 59:01the time. I mean, these are all which one
- 59:07did he pick up on the bend or looking Outback door?
- 59:09I forgot. Up around the bend.
- 59:16I like up around the bend. I'll still looking at my back
- 59:20door because I always think of I think of Lebowski hitting his
- 59:25ceiling in his car. I'm I'm between those two.
- 59:36I'm going to let it go to majority.
- 59:39Oh, I guess between up around the bend and look at the door.
- 59:42What? Do you think, Randy?
- 59:45I don't think it's going to be as crazy of a conversation as
- 59:49you guys might have thought it was going to be because I am
- 59:53totally on this team. Justin, you say it all the time
- 59:57that like you want the number one song to hook you right away
- 1:00:01and to tell you within the 1st 4 seconds who this band is and
- 1:00:05what their sound is. And that guitar lick at the
- 1:00:09beginning of Up Around the Bend. Like I don't know if there's a
- 1:00:13number one that I've done in the last couple of years that
- 1:00:17defines a band and their sound more than this one.
- 1:00:20And like, that's a slam dunk to me that that is the number one.
- 1:00:27I don't think I can argue. I, you know, like, because you
- 1:00:31could, you could say that about Fortunate son, but fortunate son
- 1:00:35has the weight of being fortunate son where, you know,
- 1:00:38up around the bend, also a massive song, but it's not
- 1:00:40fortunate Son. I think, I think they do the
- 1:00:44same thing as far as what you're talking about, like with the
- 1:00:47Rif, I think, I think you can make that case for Fortunate
- 1:00:51Son. But I think the smart play here
- 1:00:53is going with up around the bend and I and it's a little less
- 1:00:57heavy firstly. And it's fun.
- 1:01:00Like, you know, you could make the case that back door and down
- 1:01:05in the corner are more fun, but like I think up around the bend
- 1:01:09kind of does. It's all-encompassing of what
- 1:01:13we're trying to do so like I am a OK with with going with up
- 1:01:19around the bend. Here is what I'm trying to say
- 1:01:22so in so many words. Let's go with up around the bend
- 1:01:26and I will shut my face. Let me read this down one last
- 1:01:30go up around the bend is going to be our number one born in the
- 1:01:33Bayou bad moon rising traveling band looking out my back door
- 1:01:37down on the corner fortunate sun Green River.
- 1:01:39Have you ever seen the rain and it came out of the sky is going
- 1:01:42to round out our 10. Let's let up around the bend,
- 1:01:46get a moment in the sun, bouncy, bright.
- 1:02:02Go ahead and do it. Like, yeah, go ahead and do it.
- 1:02:07Like go, go ahead. And I mean, again, this isn't I
- 1:02:11say listen to Cosmos Factory, you know, I think that's the
- 1:02:16most bang for your buck. It may not have all my like
- 1:02:20favorite stuff on it, but like, I think it is my favorite
- 1:02:23record. It I I think that makes sense.
- 1:02:28But like, I, I think it's worth, I think this band is worth your
- 1:02:33time, But I also understand that considering it's 6 records here.
- 1:02:40Hold on, I'll give you the real math 65 songs, 4 hours, 4
- 1:02:44minutes. So it's not a lot of song age,
- 1:02:47but it is 4 minutes. So I mean, if you take it album
- 1:02:51by album, you know, maybe, maybe you work it honestly, we've put
- 1:02:56the list together for you. Just listen to the list and go
- 1:02:58from there. If if you like this list, you
- 1:03:01will like this band. And let's just leave it at that.
- 1:03:04So we're a podcast. You can argue with us about our
