This is the debut album from England's supergroup of the era including former John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Yardbirds guitarrist Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker -a drummer for The Graham Bond Organisation and Jack Bruce who briefly had played with John Mayall and also with Powerhouse which included Stevie Winwood and singer Paul Jones. 

The music on the album consists of own songs and bluesstandards. It was released in a time where the british heavier rockmusicindustry exploded and forever changed the way rock could be played. It still included a lot of blues but were heavier, wilder and with more rockguitar virtousity influenced by the still active blueslegends. The songs are not very good though, even if they influenced many artists to come. It's quite chaotic and strange music except for a few songs. The production is not good either. Anyway it reached nr. 6 on the UK charts and nr. 39 on the USA charts.

Jack Bruce died in 2014, 71 years old.
