"Cream" - A British rock band formed in London in 1966. The group consisted of bassist Jack Bruce, guitarist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker. The name came because they were considered to be the Cream of musical talent.

Crossroads is Cream's rocked-up version of an old Robert Johnson blues classic, recored by Robert back in the 1930s. The story, now myth, is Robert was supposed to have sold his soul to the devil at a place where two roads intersect... the crossroads. You should listen to the old Robert Johnson version. There's something haunting about his guitar playing and vocals. Robert was an extraordinary talent who seemed to capture some of the strange magic of Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the blues.

Eric Clapton's iconic guitar solo is a master class on phrasing and how to mix major and minor pentatonic scales over a classic 1-4-5 blues progression. This is probably one of the most copied solos of all time and was a HUGE influence on almost all rock/blues guitar players. This from Clapton: "It’s so funny, this,” Clapton says. “I’ve always had that held up as like, ‘This is one of the great landmarks of guitar playing.’ But most of that solo is on the wrong beat. Instead of playing on the two and the four, I’m playing on the one and the three and thinking, ‘That’s the off beat.’ No wonder people think it’s so good-because it’s f**ing wrong.” The second solo is even better. Scorching, playing that made Clapton a legend. Monumental.

Cream is a British band and the song was written by the great Robert Johnson. Eric Clapton was first the featured guitarist in the Yardbirds (1963-1965) - a very successful British pop/rock band, famous for the fact that they had in their membership over the years, the three greatest rock guitarists of the era, Eric Clapton, followed by Jimmy Page, followed by Jeff Beck. After the yardbirds, Clapton joined the John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. It was during this time that the famous graffiti, "CLAPTON IS GOD," first appeared. He left John Mayall after one year and went on to for the band Cream with Ginger Baker (a well established jazz/rock drummer) and Jack Bruce ( a we'll known bassist and songwriter), both of whom had been members of the Graham Bond Organisation. After Cream broke up, Clapton formed the group Blind Faith with Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood (keyboards, guitars, vocals, songwriting - formerly with the Spencer Davis Group, and the jazz-rock band, Traffic) and Rich Grech ( bassist, formerly with the band Family). This band lasted about 7 months. By this time Clapton had tired of the hard rock scene and joined a folk/roots rock band, Delaney, Bonnie and Friends. He also began writing songs and performing with many different bands. After Delaney and releasing his first solo album, "Eric Clapton," and still seeking to evade the public spotlight, he joined with Duane Allman, keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Ladle, and drummer Jim Gordon to form Derek and the Dominoes. After that Clapton pursued a solo career as well as performing with a myriad of big named artists.

they were all from England. Their idols and music dreams came from the US, but Jack Bruce was a classically trained bassist, Ginger Baker was the most famous drummer in England who went and lived in Africa to learn percussions and drum rhythms. Clapton, obviously was the best blues guitarist in England, best friend of the Beatles and was brought in to work on some of their music. Cream was all English guys, but they too the US by storm with their hard rock blues show in the 60's.

Cream was the first power trio out of England that had a true standout lead guitarist. This is the band that made Eric Clapton a big name on the FM radio stations. The best music was heard either on FM stations, college stations or the record/head shops back then. Their most popular song, Sunshine of your Love, at that time broke some sexual lyrical barriers. This band was a huge influence to many bands that came after.

Cream was one of the British Invasion bands of the 1960s and early 1970s; others were The Animals, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, The Rolling Stones, and many more. The Brits (and other European bands) brought the Classic Black Blues of the 1920s-1940s back to the U.S. but they had ELECTRIFIED THE BLUES; the "bedraggled, beat-down" blues lyrics can still be enjoyed and sympathized with, but the faster and louder beat was primary. The BLUES live on with an assist from these Europeans. A whole new generation, several generations actually, have relished the amplified, juiced-up BLUES! Long live The Blues!! Eric Clapton was the guitarist, Jack Bruce on bass, and Ginger Baker on the drum kit.

The young British musicians of the 1960's really embraced the blues and reinvented the sound. Cream was one of many British groups that embraced the blues. There were many like the Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, Traffic, John Mayall, The Animals, Ten Years After and so on. I was 14 when I saw Cream in Sacramento. Incredible night of music. Nice reaction to a super group from that era.

If you ever see Clapton play, which I did about 40 years ago in Philly, he's called Slow-hand because those notes are jamming and you can't see the hand moving. Amazing! Which begets the 2nd nickname, god.

When the British invasion occurred, the Brits brought back American roots music back to America. Creme emphasized the Blues and honored the Blues music and musicians they heard while growing up in England. The Who was closer to R&B from the 60's. Their music was so popular, radio stations started playing Blues and R&B because the British bands were selling so many records. This helped the American music bands, and sounds like MoTown get mainstream radio play. The Eric Clapton solo in Crossroads is considered one of the best guitar solos in the last 60 years.

His tone back then was sooooooo good. He switched to Fenders when Jimi came along and he never got that tone back. "Cream"-cream of the crop. "Crossroads" was a name or nickname for a rehab center.

The rehab center bit is really interesting. The guitar /tone switch too.

Eric Clapton had a guitar festival called Crossroads Guitar Festival played at different locations until one was held at Dallas in 2019. Eric also helped to establish rehabilitation place named Crossroads Centre located at Caribbean Islands: Antigua and Barbuda. Money raised from the festival are used for the Centre.

Ginger Baker went to Africa after Cream split (and Blind Faith) and recorded his trek across the Sahara to Nigeria where he worked with Fela Kuti. Brilliant sessions that are well worth hearing! Crossroads was recorded live at Winterland in San Fransisco on March 10, 1968.

It's really cool seeing people react to this not knowing who this is or the origin of the song. It's a pure reaction with no preconceived notions. Eric Clapton is a big enough name that if you had realized it was him, it might have guided your reaction a bit. That wasn't the case and you still sensed the quality of it. Good stuff.

Oh yeah, Clapton! One of the BIG three...Clapton, Page & Beck! He was also in The Yardbirds (..so were Page and Beck) Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, had a pretty decent Solo career (although his drunken years are a tad spotty..) and check out the incredible solo he plays on The Beatles "While my Guitar Gently weeps"....which he apparently made up ON the spot.

Clapton is lead guitar and vocalist- ranks up with SRV, Hendrix, and Page as all time great- played left handed- ginger Baker is the drummer and one of best all time- in Rock Hall of Fame- they both also played with Steve Winwood for one album as Blind Faith- you need to hear CNt Find My Way Home - Winwood was a session artist for Ray Charles at age 13- knocked Beatles out of 1st place on UK charts at 16, master singer and organist who is white but sounds like Ray- this one IS a cover of an old Blues song from 1936 by the all time great Robert Johnson

This is one of the greatest rock & roll performances ever recorded, and also as close to the feel of jazz as I've ever heard from a rock band. Among bands that are remembered today, Cream was the first "hard rock/heavy blues" band, and they are the oldest band I regularly hear on my local "hard rock" radio station.

IMHO the 2nd solo was Clapton's finest. "Run you can run, tell my old friend Willie Brown that I am standing at the Crossroads believe I'm sinking down"-Robert Johnson

The Englishmen's delta blues guitar god of the 60s went country western for a minute as a 70s solo artist. "Lay Down Sally" and "Promises" were country flavored pop radio hits that Clapton purists shat all over! 😎

The first time I heard this song was on the album wheels of fire. I wore out two of them in my youth. Another cot on that album is called spoonful. I’ve heard it by a couple of different artists, but this one is something else. It’s a little long , but time well spent. They didn’t speed this one up. Really enjoy your work! It’s almost like hearing them for the first time.

When you asked if this was original or a cover I spit my coffee. 😂❤ Mr. Johnson wrote and performed this classic. R.I.P. Robert Johnson. He died tragically too young in 1938, but miraculously he managed to get recorded in 1936-37..

Eric Clapton, no slouch with the guitar himself, said that Stevie Ray Vaughan was an open channel, that the music flowed through him. Eric was part of the big show Aug 26, 27, 1990 at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin along with SRV, the night Stevie boarded that helicopter that went down.
