“Lookin’ Out My Back Door” #2 10/3/1970

CCR was the best American band to never have a #1 single on Billboard. They had five #2’s, of which this double-sided hit was the last. This side was allegedly full of drug references but John Fogerty vehemently disputed that, saying the song was in more of a nonsensical Dr. Seuss vein, with a Buck Owens reference tossed in, too. This was the only time he played dobro on a Creedence track. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like this song.
