Collection

GOOD MUSIC

I love this band! Mad Jack is worth the price of admission! Ginger Baker rocks!

If you are a true fan, you will enjoy this selection of their best moments!I still have my vinyl version of first album.

The Collection is a great group of songs from the best of The Baker Gurvitz Army. I first got hooked on the Gurvitz brothers when they were in Three Man Army way back in the early seventies. Their album Mahesha was always my favorite. Others followed and of course, their earlier work, Gun I discovered along the way.This collection with firebrand drummer Ginger Baker is quite good and includes at least one of Ginger’s quirky tracks in Mad Jack. One of the things about the Gurvitz team is the songwriting, and it’s here in these songs. You also can’t ignore the musicianship.A great set and I highly recommend it.

i sort of stumbled on this cd accidently. i wasn't old enough to live the glory days of Cream, but i certainly have an appreciation for some good music. and this cd blew me away. i'm not the biggest fan of classic rock, but something about Baker Gurvitz Army made me a believer. was it the amazing drumming coupled with the fantastic fretwork or the smoky powerful vocals? it's all of it. by the time the third track ("Inside of Me") came on, i knew that it would stay with me as one of my all time favorite songs of my whole life! the rest of the album is also great. there's so much feeling and power in the melodies and what i love about this band is that they have the tendency to sort of wander off into prog rock territory, but they never go that full route; seemingly out of respect for the song. i can respect that. this is a great collection for those who may want a unique twist on hard classic bluesy rock. it made me want more, that's for sure!
