That's true, Butch. In the late sixties the guitar palyer in "my" band visited London. He was the first Danish guy to buy a WOW-WOW pedal there. We formed a band playing all the great Cream songs: Sunshine of Your Love, Strange Brew and of course Crossroads. We named the band - very orininally - Crowd. We had lots of gigs for a year or two. I was the drummer and my kid brother Ole (16 years at the time) was the singer and bass player. Here's Crossroads in our cover-version: http://www.jensbladt.dk/Images/Crowd-Crossroads-1969.mp3

This is not Eric Clapton and Cream, playing in arecord studio. It's really folk music - hobo music, isn't it? Originally played by people with no education, walking from street to street, playing for the poor people, day-labourers, whores, guests in cheap crummy restaurants etc. That is at least the impression I get from the lyrics in the songs. To me this sound just about right ;-) The original was done by Robert Johnson and was much closer to that version then Cream's version was. Cream's version is in my opinion is a prime example of English blues rock of the 60's and is in my personal top ten songs of all time. Clapton has since proved he is as adept at playing traditional Chicago blues and is no slouch at acoustic blues either. Butch -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
