Description

This is the fourth of Nettie Baker's highly acclaimed and entertaining books. In this one she tackles the challenge of documenting every show by Cream, the legendary band formed by her father Ginger with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton. Cream lasted just over two years (July 1966 - November 1968). They briefly got together again for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1993, and finally made it to their exciting and well-documented 2005 reunion.

Thorough research answers once and for all questions of how Cream formed, were they Cream or The Cream? What really happened when they jammed with Hendrix? Why did they split up? And much more, debunking many tired old myths in the process. Nettie was really there at the time (offering behind the scenes tit bits) and has also drawn on the contemporary accounts of how Cream was experienced on the day both by fans and the musicians themselves. As Nettie says, "Crucially, these were very young men who found themselves living in interesting times."

Throw out everything you thought you knew about them; get to know the young Ginger, Jack and Eric and be prepared for a few surprises. Cream could never have existed and achieved such an enduring legacy without having a deep and profound friendship at its core. They were brothers.
