Heavenly Cream An Acoustic Tribute To Cream features Ginger Baker, Cream lyricist the late Pete Brown, Free front man Paul Rodgers, Bernie Marsden, Joe Bonamassa, Bobby Rush, Malcolm Bruce (son of Jack Bruce), Debra Bonham, Maggie Bell and others.

For a band that only existed for two and a half years, the influence and fame of Cream seems to have only grown and grown over the decades. One of the highlights of this project was the participation of Cream’s original drummer Ginger Baker. It turned out, sadly, that these were the last recording sessions he ever did. Another big plus was getting the great Bobby Rush. The 85 year old blues/funk master verve and energy is spectacular.

Joe Bonamassa didn’t quite realize that we were all-acoustic, but plugged in for his slide work on “Sunshine” to great effect.

The powerful vocals of Deborah Bonham gracefully shook the walls of Abbey Road studios when she came in to lay down a couple of tracks. Her husband Peter Bullick also added to the mix, displaying his guitar finesse with great ease

Maggie Bell’s performances were a welcome reminder that she is still one of the greatest British blues/ soul artists of our time. And multi- instrumentalist and singer Malcolm Bruce, who played on every track, did some magical work that his late father Jack would surely have been very proud of.

If that wasn’t enough, the phenomenal voice of Paul Rodgers puts the sweetest icing on this fine collection of tracks with his unmistakable presence.
