My Take

Tom Fogerty tends to get overshadowed by his brother John, and I think that's a little unfair. As rhythm guitarist for Creedence Clearwater Revival, he was part of one of the tightest, most distinctly American bands of its era, the swampy groove on those records doesn't happen without a steady rhythm player locking it down. Born in Berkeley in 1941, he left the band early and pursued his own music, which I read as a quiet act of independence. His posthumous 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a fitting acknowledgment of work that helped define a sound.
