From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creedence Clearwater Revival (often shortened to "Creedence" or "CCR") was an American rock band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style encompassed the roots rock,[1] swamp rock,[2] and blues rock[3] genres. Despite their San Francisco Bay Area origins, they portrayed a Southern rock style, with lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other popular elements of Southern US iconography, as well as political and socially-conscious lyrics about topics including the Vietnam War.[4]
Creedence Clearwater Revival's music is still a staple of US radio airplay;[5] the band has sold 26 million albums in the United States alone.[6] Creedence Clearwater Revival was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.[7] Rolling Stone ranked the band 82nd on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.[8] Their musical influence can be heard in many genres, including southern rock, grunge, roots rock, and blues.

Cosmo's Factory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cosmo's Factory is the fifth studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), released by Fantasy Records in July 1970 and released as Fantasy 8402, the same month as the single release of "Lookin' Out My Back Door" b/w "Long As I Can See the Light".[1] The name of the album comes from the warehouse in Berkeley where the band rehearsed early in their career. It was dubbed "The Factory" by drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, because bandleader John Fogerty made them practice there almost every day.[2] The album is regarded as the band's best in their catalogue by critics and fans.

My 6 year old daughter loves “Lookin Out My Back Door.”
...love me some Creedence!
Green River came as we drove through Green River Utah. Lol.
The Colorado River flooded that year (on the way back). I remember cruising along that narrow canyon as the river water splashed up onto the highway. That was before the fancy viaduct. We cranked up the CCR and sped on through.
Great memories!
One of the best bikes ever

Pretty funny.
Solid album from one of my favorite rock bands. Unfortunately, things soured pretty quickly after that and they couldn’t hold it together.
I do like the next album, Pendulum, but it’s about halfway between a Creedence album and a Fogerty solo album, because Fogerty was doing so much his own, recording a lot of the instruments in the studio himself. Then Mardi Gras after that is about 50% junk, nowhere near the quality of the other albums.
🎵There’s a bathroom on the right🎵
Love the lead solo on ‘Heard it through the Grapevine’.
That’s appropriate because Fogerty wrote it for his three year old son, with lyrics that were inspired by children’s books :)
You don’t need a pinhead, just to hang around.
that’s my favorite too.
My Classical Music Loving Dad (RIP) really LOVED this album.
Even after years of the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease, Dad remembered his favorites from it.
One of the first albums I ever owned, sneaked a chance to listen to it whenever I could. My father screamed and cussed at me every time he heard rock & roll, so I could only listen to my 3 albums when he wasn’t around. Cosmo’s Factory, After Bathing at Baxter’s by Jefferson Airplane, and One Fine Morning, by Lighthouse.
Not long after I managed to get Tommy, by the Who and Rod Stewart’s Every Picture Tells A Story. Thought I was uptown...
