![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Alabama Shakes](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4007876_lg.jpg)
Tweet We've already featured Alabama Shakes a few times on the site, but it's time for a formal introduction to one of our Ones To Watch for 2012 . Formerly The Shakes, Alabama Shakes from Athens, Alabama are poised to knock you for a loop like a Mint Julep going straight to your head on a sweltering summer's day. A four-piece made up of Steve Johnson, Zac Cockrell, Heath Fogg, and [...]
Hace mucho tiempo que no podemos ver a los integrantes de Creedence Clearwater Revival como posaron para esta foto, y no porque ya no sean así de jóvenes. Desde que el grupo se diluyó en los año 70 las únicas relaciones que han surgido entre ellos han sido a través del juzgado y las denuncias. El último episodio lo protagonizaron Stu Cook y Doug Clifford, bajista y baterista, respectivamente, que decidieron volver a la carretera bajo el nombre Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Esto no le sentó nada bien al vocalista John Fogerty y les denunció en 1997. Para tanto [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Central Press/Getty Images Creedence Clearwater Revival have a long and fabled history of betrayal and deceit. Since the dissolution of the band in the early 1970s, lawsuits have flown from both sides of the river. One of the more recent incidents came in 1997, when bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford decided to tour under the name Creedence Clearwater Revisited . Frontman John [...]
Our news feed heated up this morning following a report by UK's Daily Express newspaper hinting that Pink Floyd would reform to play at this summer's Olympics in London. The news spread like wildfire but if you read the actual article, you'll see there's not much to the report but conjecture. David Gilmour - The Blog , an unofficial website for the Pink Floyd guitarist that has a strong track record when it comes to debunking or verifying rumors tweeted that fans should ignore [...]
M. Ward isn't just 'Him' from She & Him - get to know him through his masterful interpretations of the songs of Dylan, Zeppelin, CCR and more!
As a kid, the family usually made at least one trek annually to visit relatives in Western Pennsylvania. To mitigate the need to navigate traffic, we would often set off on these trips in the wee hours of the night, getting the first couple hours in before the sunrise. It was thrilling to be up in the middle of the night, at an hour whose existence was wholly unknown to me at the time. As my younger brother and our mother would be asleep in the backseat, I was accorded shotgun, road atlas [...]
Watch John Forgerty with drummer Kenny Aronoff kill in on Letterman with covers from CCR of 'Green River" and "Fortunate Son" as they start a 'revival' all their own John Fogerty - Green river by SKIEL
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Larry Marano, Getty Images Over the years, John Fogerty has played the Creedence Clearwater Revival hits in his shows as a solo performer. But on Thursday night in New York, the singer revisited his storied past in a more in-depth way as he and his band performed CCR's 1970 classic album 'Cosmo's Factory' in its entirety as part of a two-night stand at the Beacon [...]
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame presents the music and nothing but the music on CD.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You Gonna post up a few Hallowe'en treats. I know it ain't Screamin' Jay but... it's fucking CCR.
Words by Brendan Halloween is a strange holiday, when you think about it. For kids, it's that magical day when you can ask your neighbors for candy and they have to give you some! (Fuck that guy who gave you raisins.) For teens, it's that awkward day where you're too old to trick or treat but you're secretly jealous of kids and their candy so you make mischief and mayhem, instead. (Amiright?) For college students, it's an excuse to get drunk and dress ruhl slutty and get away with it, or an excuse to [...]
Does anyone really think that this isn't the best Creedence tune? Love It!
(Editor's Note: I wrote one Halloween post yesterday, then I realized we did this up big last year. So this one is a repost, like many of the other Halloween items you'll see in coming days and weeks.) October is a fun month, because it has Halloween. Adults who are otherwise intelligent and responsible like to dress up in stupid costumes and go to parties, while many others who don't still remember when they used to go trick-or-treating as kids. Churches and other religious types don't much like Halloween, but I always thought that celebrating Halloween [...]
We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… Last year, former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters celebrated the 30th anniversary of The Wall by mounting an extensive world tour, that was touted for its updated multi-media presentation of the iconic album. Last week, Waters revealed to Rolling Stone , whose latest issue features a cover story on the legendary psychedelic rock band, that he would be bringing the tour back to the United States next [...]

In addition, Fogerty will perform a bonus set comprising classic songs from the extraordinary CCR days to his solo canon of hits. Fogerty's special guests for both nights...
I spent the past 5 days in New Orleans, LA. What was a trip for business, quickly turned to pleasure upon getting settled in the Crescent City. If you haven't been to New Orleans, GO. It's an incredible city. Since you all love music, I know you'll have an amazing time there. Great music, warm people, incredible food and cheap drinks. What's not to love. Check out some video's in yesterday's posts… Don't Fuck With Me - Pusha T - Pusha goes in on this remix of Jai Paul's BTSTU (one [...]
Someone by the name of The Starkiller has put together a crazy good disco-rock edit of a classic CCR tune. I couldn't imagine this combination working out too well, but damn was I wrong. This is way too sick! Give it some time to climb, as its peaks got me bumping at my desk. Free download!
