Creedence Clearwater Revisited was forged by original Creedence
Clearwater Revival band members Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and Stu Cook.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited has toured the world, and crowd reaction to
the band's concerts has been astounding, driven in piece by a generation of
kids wHO, as drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford says, "weren't even born when
the music came out."
In summation to Clifford and Cook, Creedence Clearwater Revisited
includes atomic number 82 singer/rhythm guitar player John Tristao, lead guitarist Tal
Morris, and multi-instrumentalist Steve Gunner on keyboard, acoustic
guitar, percussion and harmonica.
The band thrills audiences with classics like "Susie Q," "Lodi," "Proud
Mary," "Down On The Corner," "Fortunate Son" and "Who'll Stop The Rain,"
songs critics have called some of the charles Herbert Best American rock 'n' roll ever scripted and
recorded. The hits remain a staple of radio and movie soundtracks.
Also coming into court is America, which rode onto the top of the pop charts in
1972 with their hit "A Horse with No Name." Blending rock and folk to
create their signature sound, Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek
(who left the circle in 1977) created an amazing blend of rock candy, pop, and folk
sounds and created defining songs of the 1970s, such as "Ventura Highway,"
"Tin Man," "Sister Golden Hair," "You Can do Magic," "I Need You" and
"Lonely People."
The band tells this story around their name: "We were living in England
at the time. Our fathers were all in the U.S. Air Force stationed outside
of London. Dan and Dewey were working in a cafeteria on the base, and there
was a jukebox called 'The Americana' in the corner. That's where we got the
melodic theme, and the more we thought about it the better it seemed to explain our
origins. It did aim a small confusing. When we at long last did come to the
U.S. to perform, the ads said, 'Live from England ... America!'"
