Keep on Chooglin' is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, the closing track of the band's second album Bayou Country. It usually closed the Creedence Clearwater concerts from summer 1969 onwards; Fogerty still plays it often in concerts, and while not released as a single, it became one of CCR's most notable album tracks. A live solo version is included on the 2005 compilation album The Long Road Home.[1]
