Disraeli Gears by Cream
Disraeli Gears is an album by Cream, released in 1967. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 96 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sunshine of Your Love”, on 69 lists with a best position of #28.
Disraeli Gears, Cream's second album, came out in 1967, and it's where the London supergroup stopped merely jamming the blues and started painting it in Day-Glo. Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, Eric Clapton on guitar and Ginger Baker on drums were joined in the studio for the first time by Felix Pappalardi, who produced, and the sessions were cut at Atlantic Studios.
"Sunshine of Your Love" rides a riff that hits like a wrecking ball swung in slow motion, "Strange Brew" oozes a sly, bent blues, and "Tales of Brave Ulysses" swirls off into psychedelic fog. It's blues rock with its pupils dilated, 11 tracks of it, played by three musicians who could each outgun most bands on their own.
