Creedence Clearwater Revival

“It allowed us to continue our interest in nihilism.”

Getting back to the sounds of nature.

“They make good rock ‘n’ roll music.”

Tapping into the heart of American songwriting.

The final inspirations of a rock icon.

The most embarrassing musical foreplay.

From the bayou to the big time.

The single slips that tarnished reputations.

Putting the leader in his place.

“Hey riverboat, blow your bell.”

A period they’d rather forget.

It darkly lingered over his career for decades.
