New Fortunate Son video released as CCR’s 50th anniversary celebrations begin

The 50th anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival is being celebrated with a brand new video for one of the band’s true classics, Fortunate Son.

It’s the start of a series of events which will mark the legendary band’s five decades, which are set to include a ‘special release’ in the autumn.

The promo was directed by Ben Fee, who remarks: “For me, protest right now is just showing pure positivity in the face of division and anger. I wanted to highlight the community and positivity that everybody shares. I wanted to show what America feels like when you actually hit the road and drive throughout the states.”

“I met so many beautiful people. I went to the Taos Pueblo people, into their land, and met with the war chief, and they were very big fans of CCR. They were so welcoming because they knew the song and the band, and they really loved the idea of protest through positivity.”
