Creedence Clearwater Revisited’s Biography
Stu Cook and Doug ‘Cosmo’ Clifford may not have intended it, but their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited has taken on a startling life of its own. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section (bass and drums respectively) from the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits – touchstones of a generation. Though the pair initially only planned to play private parties, Creedence Clearwater Revisited now performs up to 100 shows a year. ‘We never really had any intention of playing for the public,’ says Stu. ‘But a friend wanted to promote a couple of concerts. We got talked into it, but didn’t know how it would go over.’
Since then, the reaction to Creedence Clearwater Revisited’s concerts has been astounding, and driven in part by a generation of kids who, as Cosmo says, ‘weren’t even born when the music came out.’ Likewise, the release of a double-live CD on Universal’s Hip-O Records label, which features passionate, authoritative versions of 22 classic hits – was the result of public demand. ‘It was generated by requests of the people who came to the shows,’ Stu acknowledges. ‘Over and over they would ask, ”do you guys have a CD?”Creedence Clearwater Revisited’s ‘Recollection’ has proven so popular that it was certified as a platinum record by the RIAA in 2008.
Having now toured North America, South America, New Zealand, Europe and Asia, knocking out audiences with astounding concerts jam packed with songs that are still a staple of radio and movie soundtracks, Creedence Clearwater Revisited has come a long way. ‘In the beginning Cosmo and I decided that if we could find the musicians that could capture the sound and recreate what the music was about, we’d do it,’ recalls Stu.
As fans who have experienced a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert can attest, Stu and Cosmo found the right players. Lead singer/rhythm guitar player John Tristao, a powerful tenor with the energy to power songs. One musician in particular, Cosmo and Stu found in a surprising place. Stu notes, referring to lead guitarist Elliot Easton. Though Elliot gained fame playing lead guitar in the cool detached new wave band The Cars, Elliot’s playing always had a bluesy rock feel. In fact, Elliot has the same musical roots and grew up on the same stuff Doug and I did. Talented multi-instrumentalist Steve Gunner rounds out the group. ‘
With this new lineup, Stu and Cosmo and their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited add a new chapter to their legacy with vibrant and exhilarating energy and pure American spirit. ‘People don’t want to be involved in an endless debate,’ Cosmo sums up. ‘They want to hear the music.’ And Creedence Clearwater Revisited always delivers.
