I think one can trace Jack´s jazz-influences on this one. Nice slide.

[yescure6]

Thanks Magnus, yes you're right about the influences, love this one!

The musicians of today can't even touch his talent. So sad! When it comes to talent we had to go from vinyl to PLASTIC! The cost of music is ever greater and the quality and content equals poop! Today's youth crave to gag on Lady Gaga or listen to negative lyrics from the ghetto or hood. No real messages or musical talent anymore. Glad I was 15 - 19 in the mid to late 60's. We had real talent to listen to back in the day. Nowadays? Pure unadulterated tripe . An oxymoron for the morons of today.

@pmoyer50 I'm 16 and my heros are Jack Bruce, Paul McCartney, Morrissey, Jimi Hendrix and Dave Matthews.

my dad had songs for a tailor, and i love this song, i remember nickin loads of his vinyl when i was 13 for a day, and listening to them in my bedroom, like taste,cream, jimi hendrix, savoy brown... and this, and i couldnt help thinkin this is all cool :) i was into grunge and thrash metal etc. n my dad came home, and i thought i was goin to be in a world of s**t,lol, but he was really chuffed, and said it would be a travesty if i didnt like it, because it is the basis of the genres im into :)

@pmoyer50 totally agree, i'm from same era, was 16 when this album came out in 69, same year I started playing harmonica seriously, thanks to Jack and Paul Butterfield. Still playing today and my biggest thrill was playing at Buddy Guy's Legends club two years ago!!! Long live the Blues and Jack and all the other great musicians from 60's and early 70's!!!!!

[BlandBoy]

much like with Ray Manzarek, I'd wish Jack Bruce would've continued making records of such quality during 69-79 period

[Flerg3]

love this tune. WTF lyrics as usual

[kenfig]

@lawdawg1400 For me the follow up 'Harmony Row' is much better with better songs

[DYNODRUM]

@microdot And If you look up" Badge" Angelo appears once more

[psicodanie]

GREAT singer and GREAT bass player

I love that album AT ALL!!

Cream was different!!!

[microdot]

By the way, I bought Songs for a Tailor when it came out in 69...I also have the original vinyl of Things We Like, which I bought at Tower records in Toledo when it came out.

I saw Bruce perform with The Tony Williams Lifetime with John McGlaughlin back around then as well. Have you heard Bruce and McGlaughlin on Carla Bleys Jazz Rock Opera, Escalator Over The Hill on the piece, Businessmen?

I wish there were videos of that shit!

@microdot Interesting! Considering how buried the guitar is in the studio mix, I never thought that much about it. In fact, I like Spedding's far more pronounced guitar playing in this live version.
