Creedence Clearwater Revival's seventh and final studio album, 1972's Mardi Gras, followed the departure of founding member and rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty. The album, however, found the remaining trio of musicians taking a more collaborative approach to songwriting.
Prior to Mardi Gras, frontman John Fogerty was the band's creative leader-writing, arranging, and producing the majority of every album. For Mardi Gras, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford not only penned many of the tracks (including Cook's hard-driving "Door to Door," and Clifford's rollicking "Tearin' Up the Country") but also sang on them.
Other highlights off the album include a cover of the rockabilly classic "Hello Mary Lou," as well as the Fogerty-penned rocker "Sweet Hitch-Hiker"-a Top Ten hit in the US, Australia, Canada, and across Europe. The poignant "Someday Never Comes," meanwhile, marked the group's final single.
