Rockin'  the bayou

The best word to describe CCR is probably “simplicity”. But simple in no way means primary or awkward. From the beginning their music was simple compared to the “acid rock” of some psychedelic bands at the same period often tortuously artificial, due to their strong attraction to artificial paradises precisely. Their songs were generally short and extremely punchy, naturally rooted in vintage blues, rock'n'roll and R'n'B, but revisited in the unique CCR way by leader John Fogerty. “Kick-ass” rock'n'roll, as Peter Fonda once described it when introducing the band at a Vietnam tribute concert.
