The band formed in 1959 and earned a recording contract five years later. In 1966, John Fogerty and Doug Clifford were drafted. They returned by 1968. CCR created a unique sound combining country with rock to image swamp rock that is reminiscent of grunge. Their music became
synonymous with the war in Vietnam.
