## Overview

Bad Moon Rising is a newly updated, unauthorized biography chronicling the dramatic story of Creedence Clearwater Revival, featuring rare insights from those closest to the band.

Perfect for music aficionados craving an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at one of rock’s most influential bands.

## Description

Rightly called the saddest story in rock 'n' roll history, this Creedence biography—newly updated with stories from band members, producers, business associates, close friends, and families—recounts 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 Revival captured 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 biography exposes the bitter end and abandoned talent of a band left crippled by debt and dissension.

Review: CREEDENCE CLEARWATER, Bad Moon Rising Book - This is a great book and it is part of American history and culture of the 60's. The voice of John Fogerty i have seen his performances with his new band and he basically was CREEDANCE CLEERWATER. That band had a long string of Hit songs i believe written by John Fogerty. His new music is very good too especially the Song (DeJeVu) detailing the story of the unwinable war that was VIETNAM and the present parallels of the conflict in AFGANISTAN which yes to me is also unwinable as the Taliband will just wait until all Western Countries make a exit. I understand the Taliband has been pushed into the mountains and into Pakistan, we all pull out what then!!!!. The Taliban will return and take over again. I associate Creedance Clearwater with the Vienam conflict in the sixies also Jimmy Hendricks too but especially John Fogerty and that true song "FORTUNATE SON" and other songs., Yes if the GOVT's of the day.had to send their children to the war they may reassess their decision but their children go to University and are indeed a( fortunate son). The real sadness is that Creedance Clearwater who were and are a brilliant band were robbed by their record companies as so many others had in those early days of rock and roll. The new band are brilliant and the songs sung sound exactly like the originals Good reading, real sad, happy, tears and then hope that John Fogery who as he continues to tour the world people will re buy his albums , that is his new ones as i have. He is an incredible musician changing his guitar mostly for every song. Each guitar does something different. Like there was one Elvis, one Beatles etc atc there is only one Creedance Cleerwater and that is John Fogerty who has such a amazing and incredible booming voice that even with so many guitars playing together booms over the sound. This is a 6 star book and to own a couple of his live concerts is an amazing experience. I had no idea John Fogerty served and survived Vietnam with the Army. We and and he are blesssed that he appears to stilll be in good health and has not lost his touch. He and his band are nothing short of BRILLIANT, so to also read the book was wonderful reading as i said there will be a lot of emotions you will feel some happy some sad, some funny but at least John survived and has blessed the world with his great and superlative voice and musical ability.For all of the new younger generation experience the brilliance of John Fogerty and read his and his band's story, it good reading. I am indeed very fortunate as i have a 3 zone Bose music system so the music sound so great and you have the best seat in the house but i missed his last concert in Australia and would definitely make the effort to see him live it would be so exciting. I just live in hope he and his new band return to Australia hopefully if no this year the sometime soon. Watching his live concerts i noticed a good mix of all ages so that is wonderful. Buy the book, get his dvds and cds as i have and just sit back AND ENJOY.you will not be dissapointed it is very exciting to watch. .BUT buy his new albums and DVDS there is only happiness listening to he and the band. Just an unbelievable experience and i intend to buy more of his live concerts, i have 2.
Review: The trials and tribulations of John C Fogerty - Some have called it one of the rock 'n' roll's saddest tales, how a genuinely great band was torn apart by greed and betrayal. But it's also a story full of brilliant music and success - something which a lot of bands never achieve. Hank Bordowitz does a solid job of the CCR roller coaster ride, without taking sides too much. It's hard not to be sympathetic with CCR leader John Fogerty, the band's outstanding talent, lead singer/guitarist and songwriter, but it's also evident that he was a bit of a dictator at times and incredibly stubborn. He could have allowed some extra creative input from other band members (especially brother Tom), but refused for quite a while. After Tom departed in frustration, he pretty much forced Stu Cook and Doug Clifford to write songs for CCR's final (and worst) album, Mardi Gras. It seemed to be a petulant display to say: "See, I told you so," But he also suffered for it, particularly in his acrimonious split with the Fantasy label and its chief, Saul Zaentz, another stubborn man who made an awful lot of money off J. Fogerty. It led to years of in-fighting and litigation, and impacted on John's own writing and career. For many years he suffered from writer's block, and refused to play his great CCR songs on stage. CCR is a case of a quick rush of brilliance and success (seven albums in four years), and a lot of suffering afterwards. John Fogerty has survived and thrived (as has the music), which is a good thing, but the story of CCR really shouldn't have been this painful. An eye-opening account that will interest any fan.
