What do you consider CCR?

[K-Gun]

Southern rock, or blues-rock? or both. If both, which influence is more pronunced? (I take southern rock to mean country music influenced.)

[twosheds]

Hard to tell, since southern rock and blues rock are so close. Take the Allman Brothers Band, they easily fit both categories. allmusic.com lists CCR plainly as "Rock & Roll", which might fit better. Imagine a Chuck Berry song sung by John Fogherty, and you've got CCR.

Yeah, both are very similar, i see them more blues oriented though.

southern rock implies lynyrd skynrd. CCR is not southern rock.

all music is blues influenced... so that apellation is useless.

CCR is hillbilly-hippie music.
