It’s actually turned into busy day for my posts, so I was just being lazy earlier, the next guy is a legend, Jack Bruce was born on May 14th 1943 in Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire.

Jack was born to musical parents who travelled extensively in Canada and the U.S.A, he attended 14 different schools, finishing his formal education at Bellahouston Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, to which he won a scholarship for cello and composition. He left the Academy and his homeland at the age of 16, because of poverty and discouraged by his professors’ lack of interest in his ideas.

After playing with some of the elite of rock during the early 60’s and turning down the chance to play in Marvin Gaye’s band Jack formed Cream with Ginger Baker, and Eric Clapton.  The band were a massive success in just over two years they were  awarded their first ever platinum disc for Wheels of Fire.
Jack wrote and sang most of the songs, including I Feel Free, White Room, Politician and perhaps the world’s most performed guitar riff, in Sunshine Of Your Love. Cream split in November 1968 at the height of their popularity; Jack felt that he had strayed too far from his ideals and wanted to re-discover his musical and social roots.

Bruce went on to collaborate with the likes of Frank Zappa, Lou Reed,  Cozy Powell, Gary Moore and Jon Anderson, as well as producing the soundtrack for the Scottish film The Slab Boys, with; Lulu, Edwyn Collins, Eddi Reader and the Proclaimers.

Bruce had suffered a period of declining health, after many years of addictions which he finally beat with clinical treatment, and in 2003 was diagnosed with liver cancer. In September 2003, he underwent a liver transplant, which was almost fatal, as his body initially rejected the new organ. He recovered, and in 2004 re-appeared to perform Sunshine of Your Love at a Rock Legends concert in Germany organised by the singer Mandoki.

He continued to perform in the 10 years or so up to his death of liver disease on 25 October 2014, in Suffolk, England.

In my opinion Cream were the greatest rock group of the 60’s and I think Bruce is a bit like the forgotten man of rock. 

The song I’ve chosen is  Weird Of Hermiston, it’s title comes from an  unfinished novel,  Weir Of Hermiston, by Robert Louis Stevenson,  , although the lyrics make no reference to the story.

Please check out the song, watch it until the end, the wee look between Bruce and the cellist is great. 

I’m goin’ to a wedding
I’m going to a wedding dressed in black

I’m going to a party
Going to party, won’t be back
Cause I’m not going with you
No

Trees are no longer a comfort
Messages sad in the wires
My hair is hung down
With the blackest of rain that I’m feeling

I’m going to the river
I’m going to the river wash my tears

I’m going to the mountains
Going to the mountains cool my fears
That I’m not going with you
No

Skies are no longer a comfort
Leaves turning black in the autumn
The corn is hung down
With the heaviest rain I am feeling

I’m going to a funeral
I’m going to a funeral dressed in white

I’m going to a nightclub
I’m going to a nightclub sleep with night
And I’m not going with you
No

Love is no longer a comfort
Fantastic times are forgotten
My heart is hung down
With the saddest of rain that I’m feeling

The Day Bob Marley Walked Through Birmingham:

The pictures were taken by photographer Ian Dickson, who was sent by the NME to photograph the Wailers when they played the Odeon on July 19 1975.

He remembers: “We arrived at their hotel and introduced our­selves. There was a bit of a nervous atmosphere – after all, this was the early days of two cultures meeting through music but they were friendly and gave short answers to the questions and then invited us to the sound check at the Odeon Theatre in the city centre. ‘Great, where are the limousines?’ we said. The ­answer: ‘We got no limousines, we walk!’ so there they were, traipsing along a ­Birmingham street, dreadlocks flying, all carrying their own gear. I went on ahead to get this shot as they came down the side alley. There are policemen in the background as there had been a fatal stabbing at a reggae club the previous night and the law wasn’t taking any chances.”

Bob Marley and the Wailers played the Odeon in 1975 for the Natty Dread Tour and on June 22, 1976 for the Rastaman Vibration Tour. They also came to Birmingham on April 26, 1972 and in May 28, 1973.
