It Was The Best Gig Ever # 18: John Fogerty, Wellington 2005

All my life I have loved CCR. I can’t remember first hearing them, nor making a decision to listen to them more – it was just music that filled my brain and my soul from when I first heard it. To begin with it was some version of the greatest hits – a tape in […]

John Fogerty: 50 Year Trip – Live At Red Rocks

John Fogerty 50 Year Trip: Live At Red Rocks BMG Rights Management (US) LLC I saw John Fogerty live in the mid-00s. It was fucking phenomenal. Those songs. That playing. The voice. The Fog was on fire and how could he not be – with Run Through The Jungle, Born On The Bayou, Long As […]

Tom Fogerty: Excalibur [Reissue]

Tom Fogerty Excalibur Craft Recordings As with the Doug “Cosmo” Clifford reissue Craft Recordings has resuscitated the second solo album by Tom Fogerty – reissued here for the first time on vinyl since it’s original pressing. It’s a charming, low-key affair – mostly Fogerty originals, which we didn’t get to hear much of in his […]

Doug Clifford: Doug “Cosmo” Clifford [Reissue]

Doug Clifford Doug “Cosmo” Clifford [Reissue] Craft Recordings Doug “Cosmo” Clifford was the drummer in CCR – and still is. Except now it’s Creedence Clearwater Revisited where once it was Revival in name only… I always thought he was a crucial component of the band – his presence, his feel. No frills, and those big, […]

CCR: Keepin’ On Chooglin’ With Creedence Clearwater Revival Revisited

I love Creedence. Always have. John Fogerty’s brand of bluesy swamp rock is perfect party music for all ages; there is something infectious in those rock melodies and boogie rhythms. And, okay, if it’s not your party it’s certainly mine. CCR is one of those bands that, for me, was just always around. We had […]

Drummers You Just Can’t Beat: # 6 – Doug “Cosmo” Clifford

I love Creedence Clearwater Revival. Always have. John Fogerty’s brand of bluesy swamp rock is perfect party music for all ages; there is something infectious in those rock melodies and boogie rhythms. Some dark, deep stuff in the lyrics too – a strange kind of voodoo. CCR is one of those bands that, for me, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1182

Creedence Clearwater Revival, Creedence Gold (1972) This was a nice score, just recently. The original version with the coloured profile flaps, you lift back each silhouette to reveal a photograph of that particular band member. I don’t truly need this as I have all of the Creedence Clearwater Revival albums – CD and vinyl. (And […]
