Fourth of July Special: Craft Recordings Reissues Tom Fogerty, Doug Clifford Solo LPs
Today, as we celebrate the fourth of July, we're spinning new reissues from two members of the quintessentially American band, Creedence Clearwater Revival! Before Creedence Clearwater Revival split in 1972 amid acrimony, Tom Fogerty had already departed the band which he had co-founded with his younger brother John, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. Fogerty launched his solo career early that same year on the Fantasy label with a self-titled debut, and in October released his sophomore set.
Music to Eat
Real Gone has a limited vinyl release of the cult classic double LP Music To Eat by Hampton Grease Band. The group's offbeat mix of Dadaist vocals and jazz/prog/psych instrumentation did not prove a hit with audiences, and the album is apocryphally said to be the second lowest-selling album in Columbia Records' history, after only a yoga-instructional album. Yet, the one-of-a-kind Music to Eat has gained a healthy following over the years, and Real Gone's edition is the first vinyl reissue of

Keith Anderson and Marcia Griffiths. While the 45 with "Young, Gifted and Black" b/w "Peace of Mind" didn't dent the charts in the U.S., the A-side had made it all the way to No. 5 on the U.K. National Charts. Now, Cherry Red's Doctor Bird imprint has paired the
Review: Dennis Coffey, "One Night at Morey's: 1968"
For guitarist Dennis Coffey, music was no mere day job.
