Classic Vinyl: Creedence Clearwater Revival [AUDIO]

The draft nearly ended Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1966, before they had even really begun. John Fogerty and Doug Clifford were called for military service, Fogerty enlisting in the Army Reserve and Clifford joining the United States Coast Guard Reserve.  When they were discharged in 1968, they quit their jobs and CCR debuted their self-titled album.

Creedence may sound like they're straight from the bayou, but in this edition of Classic Vinyls, Sam Talkington reveals some facts about the band you may not know.  Play the audio below to learn a little more about the kings of swamp rock.
