Album Review

Further along on my Eric Clapton musical album tour, I took a listen to “Fresh Cream.” Released in 1966, it most definitely has a 60′s sound to it, which I can only best describe as “strange.” As is typical for this era of music, the guitars sounded great. There are many excellent solos throughout many of the songs, but none of them really dominate the song, nor are they very memorable afterward. The album may have been noteworthy at the time, but now it simply sounds like generic 60′s music. The band is most definitely talented, and certainly distinguished themselves from the other “pop” artists at the time, but listening to it now in 2008, there isn’t anything here that amazed me.
