When Cream broke up in 1968 it was by no means a foregone
conclusion that it would be Eric Clapton who would enjoy continued
commercial success. After all, it was Jack Bruce who had the looks,
and who co-wrote and sang all the band's major hits, including
"Sunshine of Your Love", "I Feel Free" and "White Room". But he was
a singular talent who wanted to be a pioneer, not just a pop star,
and he was never happy resting on his reputation. Cream split in
their prime but their influence endured, and when they reformed in
2005 tickets were selling for nearly GBP 2000 on e-bay. In the 40
years since Cream split Bruce has continued his musical adventures
with the likes of John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Carla Bley and
Mick Taylor, never quite achieving the success and recognition he
deserves. It has been an often troubled life - heroin addiction,
management rip-offs, family tragedy, and a failed liver transplant,
all of which he speaks about frankly in this book, telling a story
that is sometimes funny, sometimes bleak, and always honest.
