BBM (Baker, Bruce, & Moore)

BBM (Baker, Bruce, & Moore) - Around The Next Dream - 1994 - Capitol/Virgin Records (USA)

Bassist Jack Bruce, amd drummer Ginger Baker, former Cream members, joined guitarist Gary Moore in 1994 for this album, which has great prog rock and hard-rocking blues elements. "Waiting in the Wings," is slightly reminiscent of "White Room," but this is no bad thing, and the album has some great tracks played by three modern day blues rock masters. Bruce's voice is good, and his and Baker's blues instrumental work, while not in the Cream class, is competent, and Clapton's stand in, Gary Moore is Grade A. A very good album that should be listened to on it's own merits, and not compared to Cream.
