Ginger Baker on drums was a revelation for most rock drummers. His jazz background gave Cream so much rhythmic depth. RIP Ginger.

Jeff Putnam--I could say the same. Ain't it great these young ones are discovering these great artists from our day? Remember Cream was also called the first "super group" in the day. I went to their concert when they came to Iowa (!). My ears were numb for at least 2 hours afterward. When we were young, we had some great, great bands, and a phenomenal variety. Such fun to see the younger ones discovering--and liking--these great bands.

Yes, Cream's 1967 "Disraeli Gears" album cover is one of the most psychedelic album covers of all time. Y'all might like the equally psychedelic "Tales of Brave Ulysses" off it, for some real trippiness. ("White Room" isn't from that album, though. It's from their 1968 "Wheels of Fire" album.)

[@JimiBurleigh]

My best friend in high school introduced me to “ Disraeli Gears” by Cream. Loved it, so different and Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were perfection!!

Sometimes a song's lyrics don't need to explain anything, but just to describe. A lot of psychedelic music is written just for the experience and not necessarily to tell a story. I never tried to figure out what this song is about, and I never get tired of hearing it.

[@PaulG.x]

Poet Pete Brown wrote these lyrics: "Together, Brown and Bruce wrote many of Cream's songs, including the hits "I Feel Free", "White Room" and "SWLABR"; Brown, Bruce and Clapton also wrote "Sunshine of Your Love". After the break-up of Cream, Bruce and Brown continued to write songs together. Brown wrote the lyrics for most of Bruce's solo albums."

If you want to get into Cream, you must do "Crossroads" , but you may want to first do Robert Johnson's original "Crossroads". Robert Johnson was pure BLUES, and he didn't record very many songs, yet, his blues songs became the absolute building blocks for 1960's Rock! Cream, The Rolling Stones, and just about everyone else has turned an old Robert Johnson song into a Rock classic. By the way, Eric Clapton himself does the vocals on Crossroads.

[@willowb1527]

Oh yes I love Robert Johnson too. The story of his life is incredible. I like this song hellhound on my trail. I'm supernatural they had a whole episode dedicated to Robert Johnson had the story of well him selling his soul two of course a crossroads demon.

[@evanbirnholz2803]

@@ronmccluskey2140 Crybaby was the model name of the Vox wah wah pedal, now made by Dunlop. I used to have one when I played guitar in rock bands in the 60s and 70s.

[@rebeccabailey527]

@@evanbirnholz2803 well, technically the vox was never a called a vox crybaby. Vox used number systems, like the v846 and v847. Crybaby was just crybaby. But both the vox and crybaby pedals were made by Thomas organ, and then JEN, which was formed by the CEO of Thomas organ and the owner of EKO in Italy. On the inside, the vox and crybaby wahs were identical. Vox, Jennings really had nothing to do with the wah wah pedal other than their name on it. Like the vox tone bender, it was made by sola sound. Why would Thomas organ make 2 pedals exactly the same? The vox could only be sold in vox stores, and vox got the money. The crybaby could be sold anywhere and Thomas organ got the money. The patent wasn't approved until September 1970, and after production had moved to Italy in 67, JEN began making wahs using that circuit or a derivative of it for every company that wanted a wah, so vox could do very little about it. When Thomas organ went under in the very very early 80s, vox didn't want the wah, so Jim dunlop bought the circuit, the crybaby name and so on, and then vox actually contracted dunlop to make vox branded wahs all the way into the late 90s.

Listened to and played this in late 60s. Great to see new generation also groove on it. Really funny watching your heads bob up and down for 5 -10 minutes! She really caught the groove and late 60s feel. You're right, the music does 'slow down' in the intro parts from 4/4 to 5/4 timing - cool. Some earliest use of wah-wah pedal and epic guitar lines. It does sound like a crying voice and the pedal device is actually called the 'Cry Baby'. I used one last night in rehearsel.

If you like Eric Clapton I think you're like "Layla" buy him with Derek and the Dominos. It starts out with a good guitar lick, the singing with the guitar lick interspersed. Then the last 2/3 is a piano with guitar and drums in the background.

Check out a 60’s lava lamp and the wha wha guitar pedal sound that came out in 1967. Besides the British Invasion music of the 60’s we did a lot of street racing when Cops had no computers in their car. In ‘74 I got 2 speeding ticks in the same day in my 68 Z/28 Camaro. The Cop asked me when he handed me the ticket, “ have you ever seen one of these before”. I responded with, “ no Sir”. I was 21. A friend of mine owns that car today.

It's about his girlfriend, leaving him at the train station. Based on the lyricist's recent experience. "White Room" In the white room with black curtains near the station. Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings. Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes. Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment. I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines; Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves. You said no strings could secure you at the station. Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows. I walked into such a sad time at the station. As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning. I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back; Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves. At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd. Consolation for the old wound now forgotten. Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes. She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings. I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd; Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

[@elisaabolafia9542]

Thank you for the lyrical breakdown of this masterpiece.🎵

[@buffstraw2969]

The entire album "Disraeli Gears" is fantastic and worth a listen. The song "We're Going Wrong" features some of Ginger Baker's best drumming.

[@paulmorris8762]

Eric was also in Blind Faith with drummer Ginger Baker from Cream and Steve Winwood (from Spencer Davis, Traffic, and then solo)

[@tommessner3502]

One of their awesome songs.

[@rifki9055]

Oooooo Eric Clapton! Ginger Baker! Jack Bruce what else can you say!👏👏👏

[@johnharris6087]

Hahahaha. Great reaction Amber! You look look just like the rest of us did back in the late 60's listening to this. It's a vibe. A trip.

[@mikegray8776]

Nice reaction guys - thank you!! What you couldn’t have realised - listening to this now - is that before 1967, NO-ONE had ever played like this!! Sure, the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac were all breaking pretty new ground - but Cream started a trend in Live Rock which lasted 50+ years. And they started from a point of musical excellence! - even Clapton could never again quite capture the power and the spirit of this music after (say) 1975. You put together Rock’n’Roll & Blues & Progressive & a hint of Jazz - and this is what you got!! It was breathtaking and utterly transformative. 65-75 was one hell of a decade to live through !!

[@merrillhess5626]

That was released in 1967. It was ground breaking music in its day. Each musician in the band were already legends before they formed Cream. No one played drums like that. No one else played guitar or bass like that. No one else wrote songs and lyrics like that. No one else sang like that. They inspired people like Jimi Hendrix. BTW - look up the YT video of Brian Auger telling the story of how Jimi played on stage with Cream and Clapton couldn't keep up with him. He gave up and went backstage asking, "What the hell am I going to do now?" Well, as you know, he survived and he and Hendrix became good friends.

[@PatrickExcelsior]

Got to love Clapton and Cream. Strange Brew is an interesting song by Cream. Tears In Heaven is both beautiful and heartbreaking song by Eric Clapton given that it is about him coming to terms with the death of his 4 year old son.

[@sagittarian1955]

So glad you did this one! Lately you have reacted to several of my picks (I'm sure I'm not the only one). I had this on 8 track when I was in high school. Another one I loved was "Strange Brew".

[@DianaJG8]

I thought I was the only one to put my date of birth in my stuff! 😉 (Mine is in my email address!) 1956, here. 😊❤ BTW, this song was my special request because Jordan promised to do way back on his first day but it things happened 🤷‍♀️

[@stephenatkin2113]

I still think is Eric's finest solo. As one live of grafitti said in the late 60's, Clapton is God!

[@ninathroop6266]

It's about his girl leaving him. At the train station. In a white room, with black curtains. Such a good band in concert!!

[@marlarae9313]

Without notice, Clapton walked away from the band for a few reasons. He wanted more Blues, he was also in the throes of a heroine addiction. If you get the chance, watch his documentary; Life In 12 Bars. I have everything by Cream, Derek and the Dominoes and Eric Clapton. Thought I knew everything about him, I knew very little.

[@tomst.antoine7742]

Eric loved the down home music of The Band. He went to visit them in Woodstock (68-69) to try and join them.

[@marlarae9313]

Yeah, he absolutely did. He actually auditioned and was rejected. You should check out The Last Waltz.

[@tomst.antoine7742]

[@marlarae9313]

@@tomst.antoine7742 Lol, I’m watching it right now. I didn’t know that. It’s fitting though, isn’t it? I actually haven’t had a television in over a decade. I love music and have a vast collection. I watch movies on my laptop. I think I’d go insane without music.

Cream was a British rock band that formed in London in 1966. The group consisted of bassist Jack Bruce, guitarist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker.

[@Teresia12]

They were literally in the train station that had black curtains over the windows writing this. They needed one last song for the album.

[@stephenbones]

Don’t know if anyone will read this since it was posted 2 years ago, but had a pretty cool moment with this song last night. My roommate and I were in the garage with the door open practicing this on keys and guitar last night (we’re 21 year old college student who just started learning a few weeks ago, and i’ve only got a little piano background from when I was a kid). Our other roommate who plays drums wasn’t here, so we were missing a pretty important part. 2 random guys were walking back home from a party down the road and yelled something inaudible at us. Turns out they wanted us to play a certain song, but since we’re just learning they came and hung out for a while, one of them hopping on the drums and actually getting the intro down very quick despite never playing drums in his life. We had a few beers, jammed out for a bit, and they headed on home. One of the coolest little memories I’ll have from college. Shout-out White Room for that.

[@davidr6026]

Loved your comment.

[@dagmar.6954]

This was one of the super groups of the 60's. Everyone of the 3 guys (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker & Eric Clapton) was super talented but they also had big egos. So they didn't always get a long. They all came from previous successful bands. But in the few short years they were together they produced some classic songs such as "Crossroads", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Tales Of Brave Ulysses", "White Room", "Strange Brew", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "SWLABR" etc.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay/Amber, their "Crossroads", "Badge" and "Strange Brew" are next for you!! One of the great short lived groups, so much talent in 3 guys.

[@bigb6046]

"Badge" for sure which has the 15 most iconic seconds in rock music.

[@kbusby4824]

I'm all for Badge and Strange Brew.

[@extracaliber432]

All good, can't pick a favorite here.

[@Shootingstarcomics]

Tales of Brave Ulysses.

[@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679]

I love I Feel Free

[@videomaniac108]

You're hearing one of the first uses of the Wah-Wah pedal on guitar. Clapton also used it in another great song I would recommend, Tales of Brave Ulysses.

[@lindagaudin9546]

Huge song by Cream, my favorite!! How can you put 3 such talented giants together & not get perfection!! Ginger Baker made me want to play drums, and still haven’t given that dream up at 64! Love Eric no matter what, when, where, or with who!! Jack Bruce’s vocals is to die for! The song is about whatever you want it to be! Physcadelic Rock was definitely part of our parties when I was in my “hippie days”! ♥️The old white woman

[@brentcox7772]

Awesome song!! Talented members of the band!!🤘🔥

[@thomaskeating7539]

Only my interpretation, but he seems to be saying---his gal is leaving early in the morning on a train, and he's losing her, somehow. Where the shadows run from themselves. Poetry and rock and immense talent.

[@amitabhhajela681]

Yes.. but then later at a party (the hard crowd) he meets someone else.. a kind new girl.. consolation for him

[@amitabhhajela681]

The song to me brings to mind the dreariness of working class UK.. grey.. kinda poor.. industrial.. even the birds (starlings) are depressed

[@richdiddens4059]

Eric Clapton's bands: - John Mayall's Blues Breakers - The Yardbirds - Eric Clapton and The Powerhouse - Cream - Blind Faith - Delaney and Bonnie and Friends (not credited under his name due to contractual obligations) - Derek and the Dominoes Plus, he sat in during recording sessions with many other groups including The Beatles

[@BeavyBee]

Oh Amber how I love to watch you immerse yourself into the music. I look at you and remember how I felt when I first heard all these classic tunes all those years ago. Music is a timeless gift.

[@ngresley1120]

[@chriso6719]

Yep Jay, Eric Clapton is in this band along with Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums. Cream was only together from 1966-1968. This song was 68. They did a cover of Crossroads by 30's bluesman Robert Johnson.

[@joshsmith302]

I saw a fan video of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page playing -(Layla). Amber and Jordan would lose their minds. Yardbirds👍

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Baker considered to be one of the best drummers

[@rodneyhale8671]

Only 3 members in this group, wow what a sound! Great!!

[@KentucKid1]

Perhaps the anthem of psychedelic, hard rock music from the '60s. It was revolutionary.

[@Shrykespeare]

Cream, a great British band that included some of the greatest musicians who ever lived. Eric Clapton, whom you've reacted to several times, was lead guitarist. The bassist was Jack Bruce (who sang the vocals on this song), and the drummer was the legendary Ginger Baker. They did four albums before going their separate ways, but they had some classic hits. Your next one HAS to be "Crossroads".

[@mikelombard21]

You can tell by all the photos on your wall that this song is so up your alley! Great video. Much love.

[@dianabaker5726]

Amber, you are such a throwback to my generation. This was the music of my youth. 60s, 70s and 80s were the absolute best decades for music. Nothing will ever compare to the evolution music went through during these years. Peace out, girl. :)
