While performers, fans, and countless supposed attendees participated in even more myth-building, a small group of historians and researchers worked

The '90s saw two new Woodstock-branded festivals and an array of 25th anniversary products, including a compilation called Woodstock Diary and a 4-CD box set. To mark the

Doug Cosmo Clifford

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.
