For those of you who know me, you know that I love CCR. So, I was thrilled when I got an e-mail out of the blue from the band’s publicist, Wendy (for whom I have worked with before) asking me if I could do an interview with one of the members for their upcoming show at the Bloomsburg Fair.
My editor okayed it and I spoke with the original drummer Cosmo (Doug Clifford). That was a big highlight for me. I’ve been fortunate to be able to interview lots of cool people, but this is the first person from my fave era of music and one of my life-long favorite bands that I have interviewed. Look for the story in this Weds.’s Weekender.
Doug was very open and extremely cool to talk to. I didn’t want to bring up anything about Fogerty…. For those that don’t know- this new CCR (with the R meaning revisited, not revival) is made up of two original CCR members and three new guys– but all the same hits! They also have an album out: Recollection.
Credence Clearwater Revisited will be at the Bloomsburg Fair on Weds. Sept. 26. Check them out.
