| Biography | Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American rock band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s which consisted of John Fogerty; his brother, Tom Fogerty; Stu Cook; and Doug Clifford. These members had played together since 1959, first as The Blue Velvets and later as The Golliwogs. Their musical style encompassed roots rock, swamp rock, and blues rock. They played in a Southern rock style, despite their San Francisco Bay Area origin, with lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other popular elements of Southern United States iconography, as well as political and socially conscious lyrics about topics including the Vietnam War. The band performed at the 1969 Woodstock Festival in Upstate New York. The group disbanded acrimoniously in late 1972 after four years of chart-topping success. |
