As the founding bassist of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Stu Cook has certainly earned a place in rock and roll history. A member of the band from 1959 to 1972, his bass lines can be heard on timeless rock classics like “Bad måne Rising,” “Fortunate Son,” and other mega hits. In the 1990s, Cook and CCR drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford formed the grupp Creedence Clearwater Revisited to play live versions of CCR songs. Beyond that, the renowned bassist has also been a member of the country group Southern Pacific and worked as a producer with Roky Erickson and the Aliens. Cook was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
