Rude Awakening #2

The recording of Pendulum took place at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco and spanned a month, which was an unusually long period for the band. Before starting the sessions, there was a meeting where Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford expressed their desire for greater creative involvement. With John Fogerty's material already released on Cosmo's Factory, the group entered the studio with the idea of improvising and experimenting, although this method did not generate new compositions. John Fogerty has expressed regret about that way of working at the time. The music of Creedence Clearwater Revival, which fused rock and roll with swamp rock, remains a pillar in the history of American music and has influenced many other musicians. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
