Cream is the original “Super Group.” Ginger Baker (drums), Jack Bruce (bass, vocals), and, of course, Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals). Each of these men were the top class for their instruments at the time of their forming; the “cream of the crop.” Hence the name: Cream. They are all Brits, and revered American Blues (Ginger also loved jazz, and was a very “busy” drummer.) They were huge in the late 60s, recorded a few albums, and split up at the peak of their popularity. They are truly a band of significance that you should listen to more. Try “Tales of Brave Ulysses” off the same album (Disraeli Gears.)

This is a true story. Back in October '68 I saw Cream at The Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston (tickets were $3, $4, $5, and $6). I don't remember what price mine were, but we were just happy to be there. Before the show began we hit the snack bar to load up on crap before taking our seats. While we were waiting our turn, some random dude walked by and said that we could see the band up close if we walked down to a roped off area a little further away. We followed his lead and came to a stairwell where we could see a little way downstairs. After standing there for a couple of minutes, we saw movement coming up the staircase towards us. There were 2 security guys standing close by, but that was it. We walked up to get as close to the ropes as possible, and stood there getting excited. After less than a minute, lo and behold, here they came. First came Jack Bruce, followed by Eric Clapton, followed be Ginger Baker. Jack and Eric just passed us by without so much as a glance in our direction. They all came within 3 feet of us on the way to the stage. Ginger walked by last, and he looked over at us and sort of grinned. They all must of thought "Who are these punks" as they passed us by. We were all in 7th heaven though. Great show that night and this was one of gems they played that night. Absolutely true story.

Late 60's Psychedelic Rock Cream Songs: White Room, Crossroads, I Feel Free, Badge, Strange Brew The bass player Jack Bruce is the lead singer. However, Eric Clapton sings lead on Strange Brew. Cream were a British rock band formed in London in 1966. The group consisted of bassist Jack Bruce, guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker. Bruce was the primary songwriter and vocalist, although Clapton and Baker contributed to songs. Formed by members of previously successful bands, they are widely considered the first supergroup.Cream were highly regarded for the instrumental proficiency of each of their members. They disbanded in 1969.

You're accustomed to hearing modern recordings with lots of studio tricks to modify the sound. When Cream recorded, they recorded live, together, as a group, not on separate tracks in isolated cubicles. There are no artificial enhancements. It's raw and natural. And that is precisely why I love their music.

Old school guitar amps were pretty docile on the overdrive compared to what's used now. It all got it's start in the 60s and we would never have had greats like Eddie Van Halen or Dimebag Darryl without their predecessors. The rock sound just got heavier when they went from cranking the volume until the signal distorted to having a pre-amp channel to amplify the signal and then put it through the main channel. Then it went to insane levels when solid state overdrive signals were made to produce square waves which are then amplified. Guitars, from the 80s on, were also outfitted with much hotter pick-ups and are way more sensitive. Bass guitars now use much hotter pick-ups as well as bright nickel wound strings and most metal players prefer a much brighter sound and intentionally hit the hell out of their strings for a metallic sound on top of the increased range response of the amps. What was heavy in the 1960's is for family sing-alongs compared to metal now.😆
