Music in the US has an interesting post-war history. The revved-up R&B music of people like Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner gave way to early rock and roll. Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley swaggered through the ‘50s and in the ‘60s, the British Invasion hit as The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones took over.
For a brief time in the late ‘ 60s, psychedelia took hold, fortunately only briefly. There are a few good songs from that era, but thankfully, The Band became a major influence and, at about the same time, so did Creedence Clearwater Revival.
