Written by Nettie Baker—daughter of legendary drummer Ginger Baker—this 288-page paperback offers one of the most detailed accounts of Cream ever compiled. The book meticulously documents every show performed by the iconic trio of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton, while also featuring an 8-page photo plate section.
Though active for just over two years from July 1966 to November 1968, Cream transformed the music industry with massive US arena tours before later reuniting in 1993 and 2005. Drawing on firsthand memories and contemporary fan accounts, Nettie debunks long-standing myths regarding their formation, their legendary jam with Jimi Hendrix, and their ultimate breakup.
Praised by critics as an essential read, the book reveals the deep brotherhood and underlying friendship that made the band’s enduring legacy possible. It provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at three remarkably young musicians navigating an extraordinary era in rock history.
