Cream - Fresh Cream (5318102) CD
Laid down at the height of the UK blues boom, Fresh Cream covers the kind of territory you might expect from three of the most respected players on the scene at the time. With Clapton fresh just from his time with John Mayall, Ginger Baker leaving behind the R'n'B backwaters of Graham Bond Organisation, and a woefully under-employed Jack Bruce hightailing it from the increasingly pop-leaning Manfred Mann, the electric blues was their natural turf.
What lifts this album beyond the blues-tinged pigeon-hole are some superior pop songs brought along for the ride.
1. I Feel Free
2. N. S. U.
3. Sleepy Time Time
4. Dreaming
5. Sweet Wine
6. Spoonful
7. Cat's Squirrel
8. Four Until Late
9. Rollin' And Tumblin'
10. I'm So Glad
11. Toad
