It should be noted that cover songs were much more relevant in the 60s. Lots of rock bands, even bands like the Beatles and Stones, covered a lot of blues songs in their early days.
The first CCR album was like 60% cover songs, which really wasn’t unusual for the time.

Reply to comment by TheMauveHand in TIL Creedence Clearwater Revival was only active for four years (1968-1972), with seven studio albums. They still hold the record for most singles (nine) to reach the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 without ever scoring a #1. by Torley_
