Summary: Wow!!!! Blew Me Away!!!
Comment: Sounds just like what it is. Two Greats, Jack Bruce on vocals and Bass, and Robin Trower on Guitar and Lyrics. Not alot of studio excess, just loose straight up power. This cd will suck you in from the first song and get better with age, just like these two have!!!

Summary: Why did they bother?
Comment: This is without doubt the worst CD I have ever bought. It has absolutely no redeeming features, it's not even well recorded. Why two giants of 60's and 70's music would want to release something like this is beyond me. All it does is sully an otherwise brilliant reputation for both of them. Very sad. It's a lemon...don't touch it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not as good as BRIDGE OF SIGHS, but worth buying
Comment: LIVES OF CLAY and THE LAST DOOR are so good those two songs make this CD worth the money alone. The rest of the CD is good but not that exciting. But overall, I'd buy it again.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Retro -- not in a good way
Comment: Sounds like a relic of the 60s -- and not in a good way. Unoriginal and boring.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great guitar music
Comment: What I wanted to hear when I purchased this CD was, at long last, some really decent guitar music. This CD delivered exactly what I ordered, just not enough. The music is good, the writing is good, the singing is good. The only thing it lacks is sufficient guitar jamming on any song. Jack Bruce and Robin Trower are the perfect mixture. If they had added some extended jams or even a couple of instrumentals I would have given it 5 stars. On this particular album, they could have skipped singing altogether and just jammed for 45 minutes and I would have been thrilled. All in all, I would recommend adding it to your collection if you're a Cream fan or a Robin Trower fan.

Editorial Reviews:

"Ain't got time to waste / Keep thinking about the future," Jack Bruce wails in "Lives of Clay." On the second track of his forceful, album-length alliance with guitarist Robin Trower, Bruce's signature bass lines chug beneath the blues-powered lead guitar. The duo sounds as if ready to break out, rather than the legendary veterans of more than four decades in the business. Long-time jazz and rock session drummer Gary Husband completes the trio for these live-in-studio sessions, which showcase the genius of Bruce and Trower equally and collaboratively. Trower's Hendrix-style fingering leads the relentless title track, and his bluesy romps power the slower ballads, especially the shadowy "Distant Places of the Heart" and "Bad Case of Celebrity," a bluesy romp through the heart of pop idolism. As for Bruce, you wonder where 40 years have gone since Cream closed it down at the Royal Albert Hall. His familiar blues-based, bass-driven melodies chauffeur the album's rockers, notably "Lives of Clay," "She's Not the One," and the superlative "The Last Door." On this, he announces: "We came to search for what was lost." Clearly, they found what they were looking for. --Scott Holter
