Creedence Clearwater Revival, with lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford was one of the most important and beloved American rock bands during the late 1960s and early 1970s. John Fogerty wrote, sang, and produced their instantly recognizable classics: "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Born on the Bayou," and more. CCR was at the top of the charts in 1969. By the next year, though, Creedence was falling apart; their amazing success exploded and faded in just a few short years. Disputes and betrayals drove the band apart, estranging brother from brother and leading to John's retreat from music and public life. This memoir takes readers from Fogerty's Northern California roots, through Creedence's success and disintegration, and finally to John Fogarty's hard-won revival as a solo artist.
