cycle delia This second album by British blues-rock group Cream was released in November 1967. It reached 5the place on the UK record charts. It was also incredibly popular in the States, becoming a massive seller in 1968 and reaching 4th on the American charts. It features the two singles Strange Brew and Sunshine of Your Love . But its title is based on an inside joke between Eric Clapton and Ginger...

Even if you missed growing up in the 1960s, you're bound to have heard Ginger Baker's explosive drumming with the rock bands Cream and Blind Faith. In both beat combos, Baker was an amazing sight.
Ginger Baker, Hellraiser, The Autobiography of the World’s Greatest Drummer, John Blake, 291 pp . I heard Ginger Baker being interviewed on the radio last month and two things struck me: gosh, Ginger Baker is still alive and he sure hasn’t mellowed with age (he’s now 72). Baker was talking about this new autobiography, Hellraiser, written with his daughter Nettie. He came across as...
Our good friends at antiMusic are reporting that it's been almost 35 years since bluesy hard rock supergroup West, Bruce & Laing has performed together, but soon the trio's music will ring out again live in concert for the last time ever. West, Bruce jr. & Laing are set to perform a limited four-show engagement at the end of January, 2010 (please see dates below). West, Bruce jr. & Laing...
A sly fox of a song, one that slipped onto Cream's 1968 album 'Wheels of Fire' in between some incredible songs by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown plus some of Clapton's finest guitar playing. This song was by Ginger Baker and Mike Taylor and somehow fitted in neatly with this more experimental album. Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop. They didn’t want to; ’twas all they had...

RONNIE WOOD is elated after receiving a top accolade at London's Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards - it's the first prize he's ever scooped without his ROLLING...
(an amazing clip of Layla dissected track by track. I just wonder how the band really felt at the time being directed under a major label's grasp? Sure worked out in the end.) A man who seemingly fit many lives into one lifetime, Tom Dowd was born on October 20, 1925 in New York City. At a young age he excelled in mathematics and physics, leading to his work from the ages of 16 to 20 on the Manhattan...
Title: Sunshine Of Your Love Artist: Cream I just happened across this very raw, live version of Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream and thought I'd share it with the class. I love the camera work, cool set, dueling stacks, Clapton's SG, and Baker's walkabout during the lead break. Speaking of Eric Clapton, he was forced to bow out of this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert due to gallstone surgery....
Dickie Peterson was a founder member of one of the loudest, heaviest and most cacophonous rock bands of the 1960s. When Eric Clapton was asked in an interview in 2005 if his band Cream had invented heavy metal, he answered: “No, that was Blue Cheer.”
