They were not country. They were at most, Southern Rock or Alt-Country. They were a 100% straight up Rock Band that Nashville tried to pigeon hole into being a country band.
I'm from tx but I moved to CA for work and my friends tried to play Florida Georgia Line. I obviously didn't let that happen and showed them this song and they loved it. Showing real music to one person at a time makes a difference in this sorry music culture we got goin today
We’re not trading mix tapes at truck stops. We are in the digital age how are people still listening to the Florida Georgia line crap and not knowing about red dirt.
My first concert I ever went to was CCR, I got to go with my sister in 2005. This was her favorite song of all time. She passed away two years later at only 21 years old, and 16 years later I still feel her all around me whenever I play this song. It still brings me to tears all these years later. I hope they know how important to all of us the music that they made is, and all the memories we as fans associate with their music. 🖤
Im so sorry. If not for XM radio, I would have never heard of these guys..but the music gods can be benevolent. First three songs I heard after buying it was CCR "Fightin For", Mickey and the Motorcars "Rock Springs to Cheyenne" and Reckless Kelly "Nobody's Girl". I got angry--because commerical radio kept this music from us andI learned why-because it is superior to the shit they put out in Nashville. I miss CCR. If you look, there are almost 6 million views. For an unknown band supposedly, people know now. And I gotta say, the number of beautiful women at their shows was amazing. Cody is a great guy just to listen to talk about music with Jason Boland, Randy Rogers, Mike McClure and the rest.
THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND IN HISTORY!!!!! GOD KNOWS THEY DESERVE THE ROCK&ROLL HALL OF FAME!! NOT SURE WHERE PEOPLE MISSED ON CCR, is SO UNDERRATED AND MISSED ITS SO GROSSLY MISSED!!!!!!!
I'm only 16 but this song has so much nostalgia and tone. I still love it in 2021 just as much as I did listening to it in my dads old red truck when I was a kid
The 1st song my wife and I danced to as a married couple! That's what we still feel like 12 years later, thankful for Cody and the guys for great music to bind people together!
Back when my wife and i were dating, we were on a split, and we decided to try to talk out our issues. So we do what we always did, we went to the causeway and i put on some Pandora on my phone for background noise. And low and behold this song came on, and at that moment, we realized we are meant to be together. And the rest as they say is in the history books. Been married 3 years now, we've been in each others lives for 6.
I always had lots of love & respect for these boys..... I remember when Cody used to hang out up at the pool hall at the bowling alley in Yukon, OK where my bro Kenny Swift worked when they were just kids. And Nathan Cross’s little Brother Grady. Many many years ago, great times. I’m IN AWE of what these guys have done, LOVE their music, and think it’s incredible that they reached Official Rockstar Status no matter the exact type of music- just AWESOME !!!!
I got to watch them absolutely tear the roof off the then called reliant stadium "NRG" now at Rodeo Houston! It was one of the best line ups ever! Ragweed, Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, and Jack Ingram just to name a few! No line up sonce has come close!
+hoopsfreak5 it was amazing. Always so many Texas county concerts. I guess they've all gotten big now I don't see as many anymore. It was amazing. Def a highlight of my life for sure
I agree. Too bad they "departed". IMO they are the best Texas country band. I miss the old days of all the Texas country concerts around Eli young, them, randy Rogers, etc etc.
Cody Canada still plays all around with his new band, the Departed (same bass player as CCR) !!! I’m originally from Texas but caught him live in Brooklyn about 3 months ago. Just as good as when I saw them back in 2008!
Dammit that's good music! I can't count the times I've been a thousand miles from the one I loved and heard the telephone ring at night just to hear a dial tone. I thought I was the only one to do that. This is music from the heart!
I've seen them live so many times! Partied with them a few times, This is the ULTIMATE Cross for me!! Reminds me of my husband who passed in 2005.....Miss you Lil'' Jerry.
My dad would always play this song on the long trips up to his house. I still remember this song playing just after the sun disappeared. I always get this somber nostalgia from this song. Love you dad.
Man.. so many memories. Their shows were the best moments of my life. Red dirt fans from Illinois will always be somr of the greatest friends I've ever met.
Won't happen. Cody is very happy with the way the Departed is going. Like you, I would love to see them get back together, but there are just too much bad blood between Cody and Grady,.
@@PaulSavop That is the name of Cody's band since Ragweed broke up. Cody Canada and the Departed is what they go by, and they just released a new album. Ragweed is gone and is not coming back.
I just Love their sound! ❤❤❤ There's a lot of fans, so let's keep the love alive even tho they moved on. Maybe catch them at the bar in Yukon, Oklahoma someday.

Y’all I feel honored to be named after this song. “Talked about Savannah” and he performed at stillwater in October. He was drunk lmao. I was about 15ft away from him
I had a buddy big Credence Clearwater Revival fan. I've day to mess with him I told her had to hear the newest CCR song and played him this. It wasn't long before he was like "who is this", and I'm just like CCR man, Cross Canadian Ragweed, who else would it be. It took him about week before he talked to me again lol. Worth it.

One of the more underrated country bands out there for sure no doubt.
They were not country. They were at most, Southern Rock or Alt-Country. They were a 100% straight up Rock Band that Nashville tried to pigeon hole into being a country band.
For sure gotta be one of the best ever
This isn't a country band. Maybe folk & hippie jibberjab.
@@bluedevil0704 couldnt have said it better
Red dirt music
I'm from tx but I moved to CA for work and my friends tried to play Florida Georgia Line. I obviously didn't let that happen and showed them this song and they loved it. Showing real music to one person at a time makes a difference in this sorry music culture we got goin today
There’s some good bands today like flatland cavalry Tyler Childers midland etc
@@gordo2022 all very solid
@@gordo2022 I like Koe Wetzel alot he's a mix of rock and country makes perfection.
Unless someone has been shown Red dirt country people don't know how good it really is. Thanks for broadening the genre.
We’re not trading mix tapes at truck stops. We are in the digital age how are people still listening to the Florida Georgia line crap and not knowing about red dirt.
Don't you just love it when your surfing youtube and it eventually leads you to a really kick ass band that you've never heard of before! Life is good
You should check out Drive-by Truckers
@@perception913 Indeed, Salty. Indeed.
Look 👀 hey growing up inn the 70s in eastern Kentucky you here music on the radio utupe show me who was singing amen sir

I'm 16 too. I know once I start driving my truck I'll be jamming this song and all the other songs I love.

Man this band is absolutely amazing god I miss this style of music 🤧🤧
Check out Cody Canadas newest track “If You Want It That Much” You won’t be disappointed
Sitting on the porch drinking cold ones listening to them in 2019. Great band
Same here!
Damn SKIPPY!!!!
I wish this band would make a comeback ❤️ love them
Lol was just thinkin the same
Another year further on up the road and still a under rated band!
Koe Wetzel brought me back- Summer 2019
She misses Ragweed like I do.
🤘🏽🇺🇸

Best band ever and most underrated ever. I wish their songs were played more often.
Best band of this era. I miss it! Highschool was amazing going to all their concerts. Theirs, Eli young, Randy Rogers, etc etc
you don't even know how much i wish i could have grown up going to those bands
+hoopsfreak5 it was amazing. Always so many Texas county concerts. I guess they've all gotten big now I don't see as many anymore. It was amazing. Def a highlight of my life for sure
+JBlack Texas Country**
one of the best live bands I ever heard
Flew to Nashvegas to hear them open for Skynyrd in '06
Evest Broussard went to a Cody Canada concert put on one hell of a show
....hell yea, and their shows bring some hotass girls every damn time too......
They used to come to Abilene Texas and it was badass
Such a great song still listening to it in 2022!

Love from a Finnish truck driver. This is so real!!!
m5rule man come on over yonder well treat you well Oklahoma red dirt concerts are awesome
Damn i miss this band, i wish theyd never broken up. probably wouldve been one of the greatest bands of all time
I agree. Too bad they "departed". IMO they are the best Texas country band. I miss the old days of all the Texas country concerts around Eli young, them, randy Rogers, etc etc.
Texas country band from Oklahoma
Texas/Red Dirt
Danny C Would've been???They were!!!
Danny C Damn shame all the talent leaves this Great State, music,football,does it ever end?
If you have ever been to a CCR concert you understand!
one of the most underrated bands of all time.. if not the most
Wish they were still together. One of my favorite groups.
2019 and jamming! The good old days y’all!
LJT IN STEPHENVILLE TX was always fire with them there.
It's sad that country radio doesn't play these guys!
Damn I wish these boys would get back together. We all went to school together. We had so much fun. It really is a shame :(
Still listening 2021.... anyone else?!?!
I haven't left
ahead of its time! TRUE RED DIRT
Side note. Cody is one of the best guitarists in the business. Hands down.
Miss this group playing here in Oklahoma! We still listen to them all the time! ♥️
Cody Canada still plays all around with his new band, the Departed (same bass player as CCR) !!! I’m originally from Texas but caught him live in Brooklyn about 3 months ago. Just as good as when I saw them back in 2008!
This song brings back so many memories of an old life.
This song reminds me of being down in Indy concerts wind blowing and being free ,,,Thankyou guys I love you!
Some of the best moments 😢my life were around this song and band.
Dammit that's good music! I can't count the times I've been a thousand miles from the one I loved and heard the telephone ring at night just to hear a dial tone. I thought I was the only one to do that. This is music from the heart!
There's so many of their songs that are worthy of a comment.... unbelievable, these guys are always worth the listen!
..definitely in the top 5 of country rock songs..brings back great memories of Austin in the 00's. What a fun decade. I love greatness.
These guys are still together as far as I’m concerned 🤘🏽🎸
I've seen them live so many times! Partied with them a few times, This is the ULTIMATE Cross for me!! Reminds me of my husband who passed in 2005.....Miss you Lil'' Jerry.
Jan 23rd would be his 65th birthday, Jan 9th was the 18th anniversary of losing him......still miss that man.
My dad would always play this song on the long trips up to his house. I still remember this song playing just after the sun disappeared. I always get this somber nostalgia from this song. Love you dad.
this song got some serious radio play around Atlanta Georgia in late 2003 and early 2004.
Wasn't just GA
I have opened for Cody and The Departed. One of the truly nicest people in the music industry!
The entire band is.
Daniel Westover Even their merchandise guy is really cool ...
AmericanRootsRecords I cool
Humble brag?
Man this band was a staple when I lived in Stillwater in the early 2000's, miss those days!
The voice and guitar is the best. They could draw a crowd in TX.
They sure as fuck drew some crowds...
DAM!! I MISS TEXAS! LOVE THIS! COOL VIDEO!!
...i hear ya. Missing Texas too. Fort Worth aka Cowtown USA
Best Jam ever!
On my knees!
Damn I'd pay anything for just one more live show.
Man.. so many memories. Their shows were the best moments of my life. Red dirt fans from Illinois will always be somr of the greatest friends I've ever met.
Cody Canada - Grady Cross - Randy Ragsdale....
Get. Back. Together.
Their just having there own things going I think the used to still play in Grady’s bar in Yukon Oklahoma though dunno if they do anymore though
Plato?
Won't happen. Cody is very happy with the way the Departed is going. Like you, I would love to see them get back together, but there are just too much bad blood between Cody and Grady,.
@@bluedevil0704 What's "Departed"? A new band or was that a typo?
@@PaulSavop That is the name of Cody's band since Ragweed broke up. Cody Canada and the Departed is what they go by, and they just released a new album. Ragweed is gone and is not coming back.

Maybe catch them at the bar in Yukon, Oklahoma someday.
GREAT HOUSE, GREAT VIDEO, GREAT LYRICS, GREAT MUSIC, GREAT BAND!
My 1st ever concert was Cross Canadian Ragweed and willie Nelson! Loved them ever since!
God what I’d give to see Cody, Grady, Jeremy, and Randy rock again?
Have been following these guys since the beginning...they get better everytime I see them! But, THIS is still my FAV!

They definitely were. I was actually at this show when this was filmed. It was in the Dallas area.
I actually remember being there for this concert...amazing!
its nice to know good music is still being made
Had the pleasure of seeing these boys when I was 17 at the Czech hall in Yukon Oklahoma....in 1996? Great memories.
Nothing to do but listen to Cody and enjoy the view of the mountain. Quarantined in 2020.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 2021LLL! GOD BLESS AMEN !
Oh how I miss me some CCR!!! ❤️
This song should be a playlist staple for everyone
I love covering this song in my own private time. One piece of music I go back to often!

First time heard it on Michael Berry Show as bumper music. Wow.
Thanks to Michael Berry! Now I have to listen to all of their music, great stuff!
Executive Surf club, Corpus Christi Texas, CCR opened for Robert Earl! One of the funnest shows I habe ever been to
Great song , I love how they Jam down!

Can't get enough!
Cody Canadas stuff is pretty good with The Departed. Great lead guitar work!!! I will always love C.C.R. too.
I miss her every waking moment
Damn I love this song
I've never heard this song until about 30 minutes ago. Haven't stopped playing it since
Great band. Great music, that unites us all. It's that simple.

Born and raised in Yukon, Ok, home of Garth Brooks and CCR (met in yukon, formed in stillwater). Best small town 👌
It's not so small anymore. Can't hardly tell along I-40 where OKC stops and Yukon begins now.
Great song!!!
Grady, Cody.
Thanks!
July 21' still love it
I remember you when I was hanging with the Country Club golf pro and my daughters friends decided to hang out at the furniture store! you rocked!
November 2020, still a GOT damn jam 🤘🏻
Still rocking to Ragweed in 2020
I remember seeing Ragweed at the Executive Surf Club, Corpus Christi Tx.
