Creedence Clearwater Revival: Live at Woodstock
Creedence Clearwater Revival Live at Woodstock Craft Recordings So the story goes, CCR was the first band to sign on the line to deliver a set at Woodstock. They were paid $10k for it (around $70,000 today, apparently) and then John Fogerty would not allow the band’s image to be represented in the documentary-film or […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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, […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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, […]Archive

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 […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1371
Buck Owens, Together Again/My Heart Skip (1964) There’s that line about “listening to Buck Owens…” in that song by CCR – and I held onto that line for a long time. Always wondered who Buck Owens was. Found out one day when I spotted this record in a second-hand store. Picked it up and gave […]Archive
