Bassist Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival

Crossword Clue: The Groove Master of Swamp Rock

This week’s crossword puzzle threw me for a loop! I was cruising through the clues, feeling confident, until I hit a real stumper. It was a seven-letter word, and the clue simply read: “Bassist of Creedence Clearwater Revival.”

Now, I’m no stranger to music trivia, but this one had me scratching my head. Creedence Clearwater Revival, with their iconic hits like “Proud Mary” and “Bad Moon Rising,” is a band I’ve always loved, but I couldn’t recall the name of their bassist.

I tried to conjure up images of the band performing, hoping a visual would jog my memory. I recalled John Fogerty’s powerful vocals and the band’s raw, energetic sound, but the bassist remained elusive.

Frustration began to set in. I flipped through the pages of my crossword dictionary, searching for any hint that might lead me to the answer. But nothing. The clue seemed maddeningly simple, yet it was proving to be a real head-scratcher.

Desperate for a solution, I took to the internet. I typed in the clue, hoping a quick Google search would reveal the answer. To my dismay, the results were a tangled mess of websites, forums, and fan pages, all dedicated to Creedence Clearwater Revival, but none offering a clear answer to my question.

Just when I was about to give up, a glimmer of hope emerged. A website dedicated to classic rock trivia caught my eye. I clicked through the pages, praying I’d find the answer to my elusive clue.

And there it was! Hidden within a list of the band’s members, the answer to my crossword puzzle appeared. I felt a surge of relief as the puzzle piece finally clicked into place.
