Why This CD Matters
Jack Bruce, best known as Cream’s bassist and singer, built a distinctive solo sound that brought together rock songwriting and more adventurous arrangements. On Harmony Row, Chris Spedding’s guitar and John Marshall’s drums support Bruce’s shifting piano, bass, cello, and keyboard parts. Songs such as “Morning Story,” “Smiles And Grins,” and “The Consul At Sunset” show the album’s range from reflective passages to fuller, more progressive rock.
Collector Note
This 2003 UK Polydor remaster (065 605-2) expands the original 11-track album with five bonus recordings, including alternate takes and instrumental versions. The release notes flag a mismatch between the printed tracklisting and the audio on this version. It was recorded at Command Studios, with “Escape To The Royal Wood (On Ice) - Instrumental Demo” recorded at Morgan Studios.
