Creedence Clearwater Revival CCR were Bay Area music scene misfits: they eschewed the psychedelic excesses and drug use of their contemporaries while adhering to a strict work ethic that led to a Account Options Anmelden.

Tom, Stu and Doug were a good 'rhythm section' their own words , but John could have taken Tom and two strangers who were aspiring musicians and probably gotten the same results, music wise. Their story is not unique in the fact that they Better than I expected, but This book was better than I expected, but I am not a big fan of 'unauthorized' biographies. Their story is not unique in the fact that they signed a draconian contract with one of the most mendacious people on the face of the earth. What is unique and sad is that only John had the spine to try and get it redone in a manner much more favorable to the entire group. Given John's need to try and control the group, and their right to have at least some say in the use of their music, he made many mistakes in his uphill battle with Zaentz. But he got precious little backing from the other three. No wonder John became so bitter over the years. With 'friends' like that, who needs enemies; especially since John was the main reason that CCR was so successful in their fairly short career. Without his creativity in composing and arranging and his ability to teach Stu and Doug how to actually play the music at the level that it needed to be played, CCR as we all know it would never have happened. The 'fake' CCR isn't even at the same level as a decent 'cover band' Jul 31, Ron Fowler rated it it was amazing. What a great band! And what a sad story! But then it is over almost before it's begun. Ego's, bad business decision, it all falls apart, and 3 of the guys become estranged from the leader, John Fogerty. Even when the older What a great band! Even when the older brother, Tom Fogerty dies, there is no peace between the members. But what great music they made during their brief time at the top. So great that their hits cd is still regularly a top catalog seller year after year. Yes, John Fogerty does have a book out now, if you are only interested in his take on things. Hank Bordowitz does us fans a great service by bringing the other band members into the story. Fogerty's side of the story is presented, but we also hear from Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, who continue these days as Creedence Clearwater Revisited. I found the chapters about Tom's death to be the saddest; John is a great singer, songwriter and guitarist, but the fact that he and Tom were not able to reconcile in any meaningful way is a real heartbreaker. John never gave Tom the credit he deserved for helping to get the band started, writing the early songs with John, and making the financial contributions that enabled the guys to become full time musicians. If John had been able to let go of some of his stubbornness, and treat his brother more respectfully, CCR may have been able to continue for a few more years. This book is essential reading for all fans of CCR. Jan 21, Enrique Flores rated it really liked it. Excellent source for all things CCR. Would help if John Fogerty participated more in this as it seems to be slanted more towards the other bandmates. Perhaps he had his reasons. Either way, it is indeed the saddest story in rock and roll. Mar 12, J. Preston rated it really liked it. We can hear John Fogerty's side of the story everywhere. The guy is a genius. This book presents other sides of the story of Creedence. Arguably, they were the best band America had, and we'll never see another like 'em. One-sided piece of trash that paints John Fogerty with a spiked tail and two horns on his head. Dont waste your time with this one! Jul 09, David rated it liked it. I can now understand why CCR had such a short lifespan. They had to deal with John Fogerty's ceaseless crap day in, day out. Sad story how he treated his brother with such malice. Jul 21, Garry rated it liked it. I enjoy books on the back stories of bands or individual musicians for that matter. Bad moon rising reads easy an provides a balanced account of the formation, rise and premature dissolution of the most successful band in the USA between Loads of memorable songs produced during that short blip on the history radar still haunt the oldies and classic rock air waves. Great and often joyful sounds. But in the background there was discontent. Egos and self-righteousness abounded, families I enjoy books on the back stories of bands or individual musicians for that matter. Egos and self-righteousness abounded, families and friendships were shattered.
