Various Artists- CREAM OF THE CROP: A Tribute- CD- 1994-
- Blues Bureau International/Shrapnel Records, Inc.- No UPC- 100 grn
CREAM OF THE CROP features some of rock's premier guitar players and singers who pay tribute to one of the greatest blues/rock guitar bands of all time, Cream. Great versions of well-known blues numbers, but played rougher, no endless tinkering, the guitarists serve the song, subordinate themselves, have some Blues Bureau discs, good sound, blues lovers should grab this one. L.A. Blues Authority, Hats Off To Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fit For A. King are really good.
PERSONNEL: Pat Travers, Rick Derringer, Mike Onesko, Alan Mirikitani, Richie Kotzen, Eric Gales, Leslie West - guitar, vocals; Michael Lee Firkins, Neal Schon, Jeff Watson - guitar; Tim Bogert, John Moore - bass; Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner - vocals; Jeff Martin - drums; Little John Chrisley - vocal riff, harmonica.
CREAM OF THE CROP strikes a cynical chord. The producer is Mike Varney and the flexible studio cabal, operating under the name "L.A. Blues Authority''. This disc does contain strong technical performances. Derringer, in particular, offers some notably biting playing. But it's all so ultimately pointless: no new insights are offered, no real passion conveyed. All the obvious standards are shuffled out by old hands in precise hard rock formula. Nothing in the way of notes but the sparsest of track and guest artist listings. The K-Tel wrapper warns you exactly of what you'll find inside. Some of Rock's premier guitar players and singers pay tribute to one of the greatest blues/rock guitar bands of all time. A little morning tribute jam to the CREAM OF THE CROP, dig it!
