Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) was one of many California-based groups set on reviving the roots of rock and roll. The band used Memphis-style rockabilly as the starting point for its musical style, which also incorporated influences from blues “screamers” such as Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. CCR, along with other late-1960s revivalists such as Big Brother and the Holding Company, helped renew the popularity of American bands after the “invasion” of the Beatles and the many blues-inspired British rock groups.
