country rock
Country rock is a musical genre formed from the fusion of rock with country music, with its country origins being initially referenced to the rockabilly music of the 1950s.
While such cross-pollination has occurred throughout the history of both genres, the term is generally used to refer to the wave of rock musicians of the late 1960s and early 1970s who began to record country flavored records.

The Beatles, particularly in their earlier recordings, were also recording songs with a strong country influence, such as "I'll Cry Instead", "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party", "I'm A Loser", "Baby's In Black" and Carl Perkin's "Matchbox".

Lookin' Out My Back Door
Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing,
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearing high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

@Sam Chick Music Yes, you think of great bands you think of, Beatles, Eagles, Rolling Stones, but not too many think of CCR ! but I do !
Imraan Omar
@The_RebelPlays Underrated doesnt mean not famous
People know their music but wont be able to tell you its CCR
Even Proud Mary, how many people will say thats a Tina Turner song rather than CCR.
My mom said it was Tina's song but my dad (RIP) said no its CCR
