"Wheels of Fire" by Cream is such an innovative and exciting double album for its time; Jean and I lately rediscovered it, and currently it runs a lot at home. I can't sing the praise of it high enough.
For those of you who don't know it: Listen in! Edited by BaldFriede - March 06 2018 at 03:43 |

Love the album, as a teenager it was my favourite album for quite some time. To me it's a Proto Prog album, but I shouldn't get into that debate again.

Of course it's proto-prog....and proto-fusion.....and proto-metal.....and proto-proto! Those cats blew the roof off the musical world....massive influence, massive talent, massive sound. I've been on a Jack Bruce kick of late, which brought me back to this album.....great Jack tracks (Deserted Cities!), but Side 3, man, Side 3!

Really always loved Disraeli and Wheels studio album! Wheels first live side is great, Traintime is ok, but although Ginger is great drummer, I always lost my interest of Toad somewhere in ten minutes. But the days were like that in those days!

Prefer Disraeli Gears slightly more, but both are stellar. |
