Have you ever dug through a pile of books, records, or things and wondered “when did I get that?” I just did, and what did I find but an unopened vinyl copy of Songs for a Tailor, by Jack Bruce. Everyone remembers Jack Bruce, right? Most notably he was the bassist with Cream, but he’s had quite a career. I wouldn’t exactly call this album a treasure on first listening, but it’s certainly interesting music. It’s kind of jazz/pop fusion, and although the review doesn’t talk about it, I’m hearing a little Winwood during the Traffic period. He’s still writing and performing, too; his latest release is 2003.
The lesson here is that you should look into your 30-year-old floor model stereo console to see if there are any records in the storage bin.
Addendum: I just noticed the price tag while putting the record back into the sleeve. Apparently I got it at half-price for $0.77.
