    Jack Bruce's voice always gave me shivers. So few people realized that this classicly trained musician could do everything well and beautifully. His jazz work was amazing. RIP Jack Bruce. You were everything a musician should be.

    I fell in love with the song when I heard it a million years ago and have never changed my opinion It's one of the best ballads ever.

      For me it conjures images of people traveling in a wagon in a search of a better life and happiness. They see bones of fellow travelers along the wayside who didn't complete the journey. They think about struggles and the moments of happiness, all while knowing they will join those fallen by the wayside.

    Jack Bruce is one of the greatest musicians of the last 60 years, hands down. What a voice and what a talented bassist, pianist, composer and on and on. The dynamics and texture here are otherworldly. Man, this gives me goose bumps. Song is a top 100 greatest masterpiece by any standard. Awesome post. Finishing this up, it is really sad that I find myself more frequently ending my comments regarding my heroes with this thought but R.I.P. Jack.

    Like John Peel, this giant of music died on our wedding anniversary. I have the nerve to play this acoustically with just my 12 string guitar. This man was without doubt the finest musician in Cream. His voice, his bass playing and multi-instrumentalism as well as his songwriting are still an inspiration.

      Ed Helium, I believe you. 'Jack Bruce's shoes cannot be filled.' I just discovered him about two months ago while watching Eric Clapton videos. Jack's smile grabbed me by the heart. I have never been so profoundly touched in a moment as by Jack Bruce. I've set about learning all I can about him. I don't know if there are any books about him, so I spend my spare moments watching UA-cam videos of him. I'm trying to discover the man behind the sparkling smile:) Blessings to you!

      @Brodasco 9 років тому +3

      +sunflowers28 The original recording of Tales of Brave Ulysses on Wheels of Fire, is perhaps the greatest dramatic/poetic rock ballad ever written/performed. Over the past 60 years, as an inveterate world class audiophile in all genres of music, and I mean ALL, I have never heard it surpassed. The companion piece is As You Said. They are bookends, mighty and poignant.

    I discovered Jack Bruce a few years ago before I even knew that he was dead. My father bought me a CD with Mountain containing the song "Theme For An Imaginary Western" and I vividly remember playing the whole CD over and over, but this song was especially close to my heart. When I learned it was a cover, I went to the original. The purity and raw passion of Bruce's version is something that I have never seen replicated. I love Jack Bruce, the music he produced and inspired, and I thank him thoroughly for making me care about music the way I do.

      Welcome to a very special club! People who "get" Jack Bruce! I was fortunate enough to meet him and spend a little bit of time with him after a sound check and before a show....I felt like I had known him my whole life...there was no filter...he was just a wonderful guy. You often meet your heroes..and they aren't at all what you hope for...Meeting Jack was one of the highlights of my life that I will never forget...he signed my Songs For A Tailor album...that I had had for nearly 20 years at the time. His live show was insane...he played almost every song he had ever written....He is one of the greatest vocalists to have ever graced a microphone.

    Just like when I was a kid, when I heard White Room, I later heard Theme For An Imaginary Western on the radio and could not get enough that song either. The imaginary of..Where the laughter sounds...Oh, the sun was in their eye.....And the desert that dry...In the country towns....Where the laughter sound......love it!!.....I spent years following the shadows that run from themselves and other songs written by Pete Brown and sung by Jack Bruce. The words to his songs always got me. Pete was a poet!!
    And today I will play this song too, quite few times in remembrance
    Rest in Peace Peter 'Pete' Constantine Brown, your songs made a difference to a lot of folk.
    Always, let the sunshine of love beam up to you Pete!
    When the wagons leave the city
    For the forest and further on
    Painted wagons of the morning
    Dusty roads where they have gone
    Sometimes travelin' through the darkness
    Met the summer comin' home
    Fallen faces by the wayside
    Looked as if they might have known
    Oh, the sun was in their eye
    And the desert that dry
    In the country towns
    Where the laughter sound
    Oh, the dancing and the singing
    Oh, the music when they played
    Oh, the fire that they started
    Oh, the girls with no regret
    Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
    Often lost it along the way
    Fought each other to possess it
    Sometimes died in sight of day
    Oh, the sun was in their eye
    And the desert that dry
    In the country town
    Where the laughter sounds
    Oh, the sun was in their eye
    And the desert that dry
    In the country towns
    Where the laughter sound

    Great chord progression. how i loved the simplified genius of Jacks writing, so taste full.He could have played a million jazz changes ,but instead would write a 2 Riff song, that would blow you away with feeling

    He was one in 100 million. A genius. Gave me a lot of happiness along the years. Met him once in Detroit as a teenager. Kind.

    Jack has been a big influence on my musical career. I started playing the harmonica when I first heard him play on songs like Traintime and Rollin and Tumblin, and well, the rest is history. Have been playing now for over 40 years, and have performed some of Cream's blues numbers. Ever come to Chicago, come see me at Kingston Mines or Rosas.

    Absolutely, he is a musical genius. And largely unrecognized.

    What an artist this man was. Consummate writer, musician, and vocalist. I remember hearing him for the first time- I was 14 and sitting outside of my older sister's room as she played the new lp release of FRESH CREAM-- hearing the huge voice coming out of someone who looked no older than a teenager, the thumping, driving and complex bass lines of a 6 string Gibson bass. . . Was familiar with Eric's work from the Mayall Bluesbreakers Band, but this guy blew me away. Had the good fortune of seeing Cream a short time later in Mpls and wasn't disappointed! One of the best ever from maybe the best power rock trios ever. Rest in peace Mr. Bruce- you will live in 4ever!!

    Highly priviledged to have seen him on more than one occasion.. I didn't quite realise it then but he is truly legendary.. A one off definitely in my lifetime. Long gone but never forgotten by me and then when I go those memories will die too. In that way we all fade into the mists. Amaaaazing

    Jack was one of a kind but created many beautiful tunes. Another favorite of mine is “We’re going wrong”, wow, both songs are killers.

    I bought a Mountain 8 track back in the day for the song "Mississippi Queen" and once listing to this song it became my favorite on the album. And now at 62 years old, I still listen to it as one of my all time favorites.
