Jack Bruce - Can You Follow [2008] (6 x CDs)

A 2008 six CD box, a career retrospective from the legendary Rock musician. One of Britain's greatest popular musicians, Jack has spent 50 years as a professional musician. Aside from his work with Cream, Jack has collaborated with numerous artists with a stubborn refusal to compromise his music, be it working in the worlds of Jazz, Blues, Rock or ethnic music. Compiled with the full involvement of Jack, Can You Follow is the most comprehensive celebration of Jack's musical achievements ever, drawing on his many fine solo albums and more. The set also includes 14 tracks by Cream (including previously unreleased mono mixes) and Jacks' collaborations with Blues Incorporated, Graham Bond Organization, John Mayall, Manfred Man, Frank Zappa, BBM and much more. Housed in a deluxe set with a 68-page booklet with an exclusive interview and many unpublished photos.

What a great set of music from one of Scotland's finest. From the earliest recordings on this set (1962) to the latest (2003), you get a nice sampling of Jack Bruces' varied tastes. The man never sits still. Never repeats himself. Few "rock" musicians have diversified themselves as much as Jack has over the years. To me, one of the most amazing things about his career, is how much he was involved in bands that changed peoples thinking about music. Coming from a jazz background, he introduced jazz to rock via Cream's legendary improvisational jamming. Then he turns around and through the Tony Williams Lifetime introduces rock to jazz. And never receives the credit for it. This set touches upon all of this. A wonderful overview of an amazing career. (Amazon)

Jack Bruce is a true musician. He has never seemed to be concerned with fame and fortune. Maybe the success of Cream allowed him to be the eclectic musician. Or maybe he is just a true musician, more interested in the journey than the destination. This box set seems to prove that he follows his muse and remains just as fresh now as in the 60s.
