The way I see CLIFFORD AND COOK are nonothing without Fogerty's music. If they are so great how come they haven't put out anything of their own. Here's a little advice to Doug and Stu, since you can't piss with the big dog, stay on the porch and shut your whiny mouth.

Not being the contrarian here, I would so much have loved three decades' worth of strong collaboration from the original CCR members.

It's just that…the better the musicians and stronger the creative forces involved, the more this above rock and roll story is repeated, no? Could it have happened any other way?

GR8 interview. Well done.

Simplicity defined. I learned how to play bass by playing along with CCR records. Fogerty is a musical genius, but obviously has some personal issues. I have enjoyed most of his solo records...but he has never had a rhythm section that good. <br><br>Anyone who has ever heard a Tom Fogerty solo album knows he could have easily filled the George slot in the band...a couple of songs per album. He really sounded just like John. Too bad for all of us that they could not patch it up. I think Clifford and Cook are one of the all-time great rhythm sections. Simplicity defined.
