the creme de la crème baker and bruce previously from Manfred mann and Clapton from yardbirds and John Mayalls blues breakers a pedigree group .. but what I love is that they took music in a new direction .. bluesy riffs and strange melody lines .. for example sunshine of your love from disraelli gears , passing the time from wheels of fire and the excellent badge from goodbye .. superlatives abound from this group and they only lasted for 2 and a half years.
