Jack Bruce: "Crossroads"

Jack Bruce is one of the largest bass icons in rock. Born in Scotland in 1943, Jack played with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, the Graham Bond Organisation, John Mayall's Blues Breakers (where he met Eric Clapton) and Manfred Mann. Jack even turned down an offer to join Marvin Gaye's band! He joined up with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker to form the supergroup, Cream. Cream sold 35,000,000 albums in just over two years and was awarded the first-ever platinum disc for Wheels of Fire. This song, from that album, is their interpretation of the Robert Johnson classic "Crossroads."
