Totally agree!! Bass of The Gods! The break takes my breath away after all the years. Bruce is absolutely ON FIRE; he's all over the neck of that Thumb— totally in control, playing the lead, holding the bassline and perfectly on time with Baker, all at the same time. Amazing. |

Not a Clapton fan, but Cream was a good band.

I think you're correct and in doing so Cream/Dowd re-shaped blues-rock that helped change the sound of hard rock. Ah, the late 60's. |

Good music is good music, no matter when it was made or how long its been. You don't throw out a Rembrandt because you don't want to be "stuck in the 1600's". |

As many times as I've heard this, I will STILL turn it up when I hear that opening lick.
In its day, this must have sounded incredible, cuz it still amazes me when I hear it. |

Another song I can't believe I never rated.
With all the different versions of this song around, with or without Clapton, none sounds better than when these 3 guys do it. Clapton solo is just a tease and a cover version.

Little-known fact: Here are the original lyrics. They were considered "too upbeat" by Robert Johnson's publisher:
I went to the crossroads, stomach growling without cease
I went to the crossroads, stomach growling without cease
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now,
Save poor Bob if you please
Standin' at the crossroads, saw some hotcakes lying there
Standin' at the crossroads, saw some hotcakes lying there
Nobody seem to see me, so I scarfed 'em down without a care
Standin' at the crossroads, syrup drippin' from my chin
Standin' at the crossroads baby, syrup drippin' from my chin
I believe in the Good Lord now, tho' I be a man of sin
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I'm feeling kind of overstuffed
Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down.

Over the years when people compare rock guitar players it seams I always think of this cut.
I believe it was recorded at the Albert hall ? anyone!

Original was 14.35; recorded on an 12-track Ampex .. to hear the original "ur-tape" is to become one with the gods. |
