"Lookin' Out My Back Door" is a song recorded by the American band Creedence Clearwater Revival, also known as CCR. The song was written by the band's lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter, John Fogerty. The song is included on their 1970 album Cosmo's Factory, the group's fifth album, which was also their fifth and final No. 2 Billboard hit. It was certified Gold and in the early 1990s was also certified Platinum. In 2003 Cosmo's Factory was ranked 265 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest albums of all time. However, the album signaled the decline and subsequent end for the band. "Lookin' Out My Back Door" was a direct tribute to the Bakersfield Sound, a form of music that influenced John Fogerty and the Creedence sound. Buck Owens, one of the architects of the Bakersfield Sound, is even mentioned in the song's lyrics.
Ron Aspery (born Ronald Aspery, 9 June 1946, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire – died 10 December 2003,Saltdean, East Sussex) – saxophone, flute
Tony Hicks (born Anthony Hicks, 8 August 1948, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire – died 13 August 2006, Sydney, Australia) – drums – replaced in 1976 by
Adrian Tilbrook (born 20 July 1948, Hartlepool, County Durham) – drums
Career
Colin Hodgkinson first met Ron Aspery whilst the two were playing in Eric Delaney's Showband. The two began to talk about forming their own band around 1969, and eventually Back Door came to fruition in 1971, with Tony Hicks joining on drums. Hodgkinson made an innovative use of the electric bass, making it a lead instrument rather than a part of a rhythm section.
Their unique brand of jazz-rock and Hodgkinson's original playing was a hit at their regular venue; the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge, Yorkshire. However, record labels were not keen and the band were repeatedly told "No singer, no contract". Ever the innovators, the band decided to record their first album themselves. It was recorded on a 4-track Ampexmixing console in eight hours, and mixed in four hours the next day. Around 1,000 copies were first printed by RCA. The album was sold over the bar at The Lion Inn, and at a few record shops in the local area.
Back Door is the eponymously titled debut studio album of Back Door, released independently in 1972 by Blakey Records. It received wider distribution when it was adopted by Warner Bros. the following year. It introduced the group's virtuoso approach to jazz, funk, soul, blues and hard rock music. In 2005, the album was listed on JazzTimes' top fifty albums released between 1970 and 2005. In 2014 it was re-released on CD, compiled with 8th Street Nites and Another Fine Mess, by BGO Records.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin Out My Back Door
#CCR Creedence Clearwater Revival is undeniably one of the greatest rock bands of all time, with an instantly recognizable, raw, bayou sound, popularized in songs like "Proud Mary" and "Green River”. Since their formation in the 1960s, CCR has sold over 50 million records, while their songs remain in heavy rotation on the radio.
Though the band only released 7 studio albums in their too-short career, Creedence had an astonishing track record: eight consecutive gold singles ("Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Up Around the Bend," "Lookin' Out My Back Door," "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?") and eight consecutive gold albums. With music that sounds as fresh and compelling today as it did 30 years ago, CCR is one of a handful of ban...

Just got home from Illinois locked the front door oh boy Got to sit down take a rest on the porch Imagination sets in pretty soon I'm singing doodoodoo lookin' 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 listnein' to Buck Owens doodoodoo lookin' out my back door Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon A Wonderous Apparition provided by magician doodoodoo lookin' out my back door [ guitar ] Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon Bother me tomorrow today I'll buy no sorrows doodoodoo lookin' out my back door [ steel ] Just got home from Illinois locked the front door oh boy Got to sit down take a rest on the porch
