Susie Q (1968)
CCR's debut album, released in June 1968 on Fantasy Records, introduced the band shortly after they dropped the Golliwogs name and started developing their swamp rock sound. The cover of Dale Hawkins' 'Suzie Q' became their first big hit, reaching number 11 on the US charts, and remains one of the few CCR charting singles not written by John Fogerty.
All of Susie QCreedence Clearwater Revival
Creedence Clearwater Revival was a rock band formed in El Cerrito, California, originally coming together as early as 1959 under different names before settling on CCR in 1967. The four-piece, led by singer and songwriter John Fogerty alongside his brother Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford, played a grounded, no-frills style of rock rooted in swamp rock, blues, and country. While their peers in the San Francisco area leaned into psychedelia, CCR kept things direct and working-class, which made them one of the most distinctive American bands of their era.
