With a career spanning 6 decades, Stu Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival (and later Creedence Clearwater Revisited) is still playing guitar at 74 years old. He performed at Woodstock in 1969 and is known for iconic songs such as “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “I Heard it Through the Grapevine.”
He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and sold over 30 million records in the U.S. alone. Now a grandfather, Stu is hanging up his guitar this year after his farewell tour.
In this interview, Stu shares his meditation techniques, how his parents influenced his love of music, and what advice he would give his younger self. He was a real joy to interview, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
