Was watching a documentary on American history a couple of weeks back and they played a CCR track at the end of it (Have You Ever Seen The Rain). Had not thought about them since John Fogerty's solo success in the mid eighties, so dusted off some old vinyl and drifted back in time.
They sound as fresh now as they did on the first listen, simple short songs well executed with great harmonies and fine musicianship – that was what passed for pop music back in the day.
To a wee loon in the highlands they conjured images of a distant and exotic landscape; today with thousands of air miles and a fair few places visited around the planet they still manage to do it.
Here is another favourite Bad Moon Rising – cool animation.

I definitely never turn the dial on the radio when they come one over the speakers. They were one of my favorites when I was a youth. Yes, they are timeless.
