Sunshine of your Wog

Of the thousands of rock albums that have been released over the years, only a few were instant hits, and even fewer stand up to the test of time. Disraeli Gears by Cream was such an album. Psychedelia had always chosen blues as its starting idiom, and with Cream, led by Eric Clapton, the British psychedelic blues reached full flower. Heady, pulsing with primal energy, poetic, at times otherworldly, Disraeli Gears was a must listen then, and is still a great listen today. The classic Sunshine of Your Love is the best-known song, but my favorites are Tales of Brave Ulysses and We’re Going Wrong. It’s not a particularly long album, so this One Album Wog is a Quickie, with brisk walking but not much in the way of jogging. Find the BPMs for this week's wog at Podwogging.com!
