Rightly called the saddest story in rock 'n' roll history, this Creedence biographynewly updatedwith stories from band members, producers, business associates, close friends, and familiesrecounts the tragic and triumphant tale of one of America s most beloved bands. Hailed as the great American rock band from 1968 to 1971, Creedence Clearwater Revivalcaptured the imaginations of a generation with classic hits like Proud Mary, Down on the Corner, Green River, Born on the Bayou, and Who ll Stop the Rain. Mounting tensions among bandmates over vibrant guitarist and lead vocalist John Fogerty s creative control led to the band's demise. Tracing the lives of four musicians who redefined an American roots-rock sound with unequaled passion and power, this music biographyexposes the bitter end and abandoned talent of a band left crippled by debt and dissension."

From the Publisher:
Book Description, Author Information
Though only together for a few years, CCR captured the imagination of a generation with leader John Fogerty’s catchy songwriting, vibrant guitar playing, and strong vocals. Yet, it was not an easy ride to fame; Fogerty’s creative leadership was resented by the other band members, and ill-conceived contracts with their management and record company left the group burdened with crippling artistic obligations and relatively little to show for their work. The upshot has been a quarter-century of legal wrangling, broken careers, and—worst of all—lost potential. This book tells it all through interviews with the surviving band members, their managers, producers, and families. It draws on thousands of documents and court records—many made available to this author for the first time—to tell the group’s story.

Hank Bordowitz has contributed articles to Spin, Guitar Player and Musician, plus dozens more.
