“Born On The Bayou” B-side 3/8/1969

The B-side of “Proud Mary,” although it didn’t chart, soon became a fixture on album rock radio. This song cemented the incorrect notion that CCR came from way down in the swamps of Louisiana. Their second album (containing both sides of the single) was even titled “Bayou Country.” The band actually called the San Francisco Bay Area home. This is one of the few songs I can actually play on guitar. Definitely a personal favorite.
