Artist: Cream
Album: Disraeli Gears
Year: 1967
To this point I have not been a big fan of the "blues-rock" albums that are part of this compendium. I have found them either boring (John Mayall's Blues Breakers) or uneven (Yardbirds' Roger the Engineer). So I approached Cream's Disraeli Gears with a little caution.
This was really a rather delightful album. Catchy songs, swirling psychedelia, masterful guitar...everything an album should have. The big hit here is "Sunshine of Your Love," but I found "Strange Brew" and especially "Tales of Brave Ulysses" to be just as solid.
I'll probably never listen to this album again, but I can say I enjoyed it while I was listening to it.
Rating: Worth a listen
