Consisting of one entire disc of studio material and a second disc culled from Cream's 1967 American tour, Wheels of Fire presents two dramaticly different views of the quintessential power trio. Beginning with White Room, a tour de fource electric blues classic, Cream leaves no doubt as to their virtuosity and improvisional skills. They also pay homage to Chester Burnette AKA Howlin Wolf on Sitting On Top of The World and cover Albert King's Born Under A Bad Sign. Both are deftly rendered with Cream's unique blend of electric blues and psycedellic soul. Then there's Passing The Time, Pressed Rat and Warthog, Those Were The Days, Deserted Cites of The Heart and As You Said, all Pete Brown/Jack Bruce orginals. Brown and Bruce form one of the sixities/early seventies most unique and orginal song writing teams. Brown's strange and surreal lyrics create a world where wathogs sell amplified hate and Pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet. After Cream disbanned in 1968, they joined together for Jack Bruce's Songs For A Taylor, one of the most underated albums of the golden age of rock.
