Description
A postcard from Hawaii of “Cotton Fields, taken from Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 album Willy and the Poor Boys, directed by Jordon Miller.
From the director:
My wife has roots in Goodyear, AZ where they grew cotton for tires and this was always her favorite CCR song. We are raising our family in Hawaii and have fallen in love with community of the aina and wanted to share the magic of a family celebration in the jungle. No cotton fields near by, but this wonderful tune has a sense of back-home nostalgia that hit us with the feels.

About Creedence Clearwater Revival:
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1968 self-titled debut album introduced the world to guitar-playing brothers John and Tom Fogerty, drummer Doug Clifford, and bassist Stu Cook, four young men out of El Cerrito in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though they emerged in a place and time where trippy psychedelic visions were the order of the day, CCR bucked the trends and instead tapped into a rich, traditional seam of American music that connected to blues, country, rockabilly, gospel, folk, and R&B.
During their short time together as a band (1968 – 1972), the band enjoyed an unparalleled period of creativity led by singer, songwriter, arranger John Fogerty. They’ve sold close to 100 million records, releasing 14 Top 10 hits. They also managed to play over 150 tour dates around the world, including a headlining spot at Woodstock.
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s canon has become a part of the Great American Songbook. Fogerty penned songs like “Bad Moon Rising,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” “Proud Mary,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Travelin’ Band,” and “Up Around the Bend” have been ingrained into pop culture — not just as rock staples, but as classic standards.
With so many memorable songs that continue to grace our radio waves, television, and movie screens, plus lyrics that still resonate today, Creedence Clearwater Revival is, truly, America’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band.
