Cream: Strange Brew

0 votes

The legendary super group in all its glory, featuring 9 classic tracks. The title of this 60-minute retrospective on the legendary power trio pretty well describes itself -- it is a strange amalgam of interviews and some well-chosen (and some not so well-chosen) performance clips. Strangely enough, the best part of the documentary, from the standpoint of information, is the interview segment with Jack Bruce and lyricist Pete Brown describing their way of working, and Ginger Baker's recollection of how "Strange Brew" came to be written out of another song altogether, "Lawdy Mama."
