An acronym most commonly referring to Creedence Clearwater Revival, the American rock band active from 1968 to 1972.
Acronym formation from the band name Creedence Clearwater Revival, which itself was created by combining 'Creedence' (from a friend's name), 'Clearwater' (from a beer commercial), and 'Revival' suggesting renewal or rebirth.
CCR's music epitomized the sound of the Vietnam War era, yet the band members were from California, not the American South their music evoked. Their songs like 'Fortunate Son' became anti-war anthems despite the band never explicitly stating political positions.
