When you hear his harp in, "Train Time", and his cello playing in, "As You Said", you kind of think how much ahead of his time he really was back in 1966. Thanks for the comment.

@cdsorvinyl Meaning Written by Robert Johnson and performed by Cream, I know he's dead....

great cover

@ezekialwheel No harm, no foul! You picked the right guy for real blues when you picked me. And it only begins with Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Albert King, Peter Green, Charlie Patton, Sonny Boy Williamsons I and II, and I could go on just as you could but for the lack of space here . . .

@ezekialwheel Eric Clapton cut that song with Cream because he liked the song. Unless you think of Cream as nothing but big crunchy riffs and loud guitar solos it's pretty unfair to think that this wasn't a single because it sucked. I might think this version a little too reverential (they stay close to Johnson's original for the most part, albeit with the rhythm section and harmonica added), but it's good and Clapton gave credit where due, unlike others who didn't until caught redhanded . . .

@ezekialwheel Dude, the Motown recordings didn't sound a bit like this. The British invasion was in '64. So why are we debating about this song. It's like "Anyone For Tennis", but WRITTEN by R. Johnson. Sung by Eric Clapton and
Jack Bruce. The harp is really cool. Case closed.

@ezekialwheel If they were hoping for a hit with this song, how explain that they never released their version as a single?
-
@ezekialwheel - This is Cream & Robert Johnson sorry you didn't think this works. Whether it's a big hit like "Sunshine" or "Four Until Late" from 1966, think back at the blues music from that era and compare.

I know a guy he's totally freaked out on Jack Bruce!
These four Cream songs that I posted were just chosen at random and to prove that I could put some songs up on UT( it's not as easy as you think). And for these to be up here for so long a time is proof I did a pretty good job at the selection process. What good would it do if I just put "Sunshine" or "Crossroads" up, there's dozens out there.

"A woman is like a dresser -some men are always going through it's drawer's " when singing along w/ Jack ( or trying to) used to wait for that line because Bruce's harp kicked it it up a notch as if to agree.
