V šesťdesiatych rokoch prišla zo San Francisca veľká vlna eufórie. Prehnala sa ňou aj melódia južanského rocku a spôsobilo to senzáciu. Creedence Clearwater Revival sa stali priekopníkmi tohto žánru a v ich stopách kráčali takí velikáni ako Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers Band a mnohí ďalší. Ani rozpadom kapely to neskončilo a zopár obdivovateľov sa rozhodlo založiť formáciu Creedence Clearwater Revived. Stretli sa v nej Johnnie Williamson (Titanic), Chris Allen (Troggs), Walter Day (British Session) a frontman Peter Barton (ex-Animals), ktorý nám odpovedal na niekoľko otázok pred ich koncertom 30. marca v Sono Centrum v Brne.
SWITCH to ENGLISH VERSION


Všetko to začalo v roku 1990. Vždy som obdivoval hlas Johna Fogertyho a jednoduchosť piesní Creedence Clearwater Revival.


Bol to vzrušujúci a prevratný čas. Vznikli úžasné piesne a úžasná energia.


Myslím, že tam je niekoľko dobrých vecí, ale, bohužiaľ, už to nie je nič nové, všetko už bolo spravené a vykonané.


Snažíme sa, aby to bolo čo najviac autentické, pretože tak si to ľudia pamätajú.


Bol priekopníkom. Úžasné piesne a skvelá diskografia. Je tým typom hudobníka, ktorý stále inšpiruje aj súčasnú mládež.


Ľudia ešte stále chcú mať „pigeon hole bands“. Južanský rock je značkou, ktorú mnohí vzali na palubu, hoci pochádza z iného teritória. Aj CCR bola pôvodne z oblasti San Francisca.


Nemáme žiadnu súvislosť so Stuartom alebo Dougom. Pokračujú vo svojich úlohách zakladajúcich členov a stále koncertujú po svete.


CCR mala veľmi veľkú základňu v okolí Britských ostrovov a na východe Európy. Toto je aj naše najväčšie koncertné zázemie.


Absolútne, všetci sa učíme jeden od druhého.


It all started back in the 1990´s. I always loved John Fogerty´s voice and the simplicity of the CCR songs.


It was a more exiting and ground breaking time. Great songs and a great vibe.


I think there is some good stuff out there but unfortunately nothing is new anymore its all been done.


We try and keep it as authentic as possible because that’s how people remember it.


He was a landmark. Great songs and a great back catalogue of songs. The sort of musician that still inspires the youth of today.


People always want to pigeon hole bands. Southern rock is a brand that many have taken on board. CCR was actually from the San Francisco area.


We have no connection to Stu or Doug. They continue their role as founding members and still tour the world.


CCR was very big in Mainland Europe and The East. That is our biggest performing territory.


Absolutely. We all feed from one another
