Creedence Clearwater Revisited - Recollection (1998)

Close

AAfter Creedence Clearwater Revival disbanded in 1972, Cook and Clifford -- who had played together since junior high -- remained close. They formed a production company together before heading off for separate musical projects, Clifford playing with the renowned Sir Douglas Quintet and Cook joining with a few former Doobie Brothers in the pioneering country-rock band Southern Pacific. When those projects ended, Cosmo and Stu hooked up again. Realizing both missed playing live Creedence music that had been lying dormant -- with ex-bandmate John Fogerty previously calling for a boycott of and refusing to publicly perform Creedence Clearwater Revival music -- Doug and Stu decided to put together their own band to perform the songs in concert. "Recollection" features new live versions of many of the all time great Creedence Clearwater Revival hits and was recorded during one of the numerous powerhouse shows Revisited has performed since 1995. These were the first recordings of Creedence Clearwater Revival music released in over 20 years by any of the legendary group's former members. The album was recorded in western Canada, the result of numerous requests from Revisited fans to make a CD available. "It would never fail at shows that people would ask if we had a CD," says Clifford, "Recollection is really a response to that demand."
