Rock Band DLC additions for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Wii
In the short years that Creedence Clearwater Revival were active, the band, composed of John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, racked up quite an array of hit singles, and now fans of the roots rock band will be able to play those songs in Rock Band.
Although the band is known for their southern rock sound, CCR actually formed in the San Francisco area in the late 60s. The band went on to sell 26 million albums in the United States alone, before disbanding in 1972, and was inducted into the U.S. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. “Creedence Clearwater Revival Pack 01” will feature 12 of the bands biggest hits, available next week in the Rock Band Music Store.
