Creedence Clearwater Revival
Creedence Clearwater Revival, commonly referred to as "CCR," was an American rock band that was active from 1967 to 1972. The band consisted of John Fogerty, who handled vocals and guitar, Tom Fogerty on rhythm guitar, Stu Cook on bass, and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford on drums. Although the band originated in Berkeley, California, their music often evoked themes and imagery associated with the American South.
The roots of CCR can be traced back to 1959 when John Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford initially formed a group called The Blue Velvets. They later backed John's older brother, Tom, in a band named Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets. The group subsequently changed their name to the Golliwogs and released several singles that did not achieve commercial success. In 1967, they rebranded as Creedence Clearwater Revival, with John Fogerty assuming full creative control over the band. During their peak, CCR was remarkably productive, releasing six albums along with various singles from 1968 to 1970.
However, the dynamic within the band began to strain, particularly as the other members felt constrained by John Fogerty's leadership. In 1971, it was announced that Tom Fogerty had left the band. As a trio, CCR released their final album, "Mardi Gras," in 1972. Following Tom's departure, John agreed to allow Cook and Clifford more involvement in writing and recording, yet the album was met with poor reception, leading to the band's eventual dissolution.
In the years following their breakup, tensions between John and the other band members escalated. Notably, during the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, John controversially prevented Cook and Clifford from joining him on stage, as Tom had passed away in 1990. In 1995, Cook and Clifford came together to form a new band.

Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand.

Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.
