They say that reincarnation is making a comeback. If that is so, it has never been more true than in the new CD by the Onesko, Bogert and Ceo Project -- aptly called 'Big Electric Cream Jam.' These three blues-rock virtuosos channel the feeling, emotional content, and musical virtuosity of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker, respectively, and, believe it or not, take the music up a notch. Most of all, they capture the live excitement and power of the original trio and do it justice -- no mean feat! Overall, the inspired playing on this CD makes one not only appreciate Cream on a deeper level, but establishes Onesko, Bogert and Ceo, three veteran players in their own right, in a category of their own whose musical chops show the wisdom of their years, with a debt, no doubt, to the original trio. Clearly, this CD represents the rebirth of a pivotal 60s band, but with alternate musicians who have their own story to tell. The music speaks for itself: It's as if Cream came back with a vengeance, employing all of the musical inspiration and musicianship that went down from the time they disbanded to the present day. This is the new must-have CD for all blues-rock fans!

This one really blew our minds the first time we heard it, primarily due to the line up but also because of the unrelenting power and passion the musicians put into the performance. Recorded live at the Beachland Ballroom in Euclid, Ohio (9.9.08), the OBC trio includes legendary bassist Tim Bogert who got his start in Vanilla Fudge, then Cactus and Beck, Bogert & Appice. He is joined by guitarist and vocalist Mike Onesko and drummer Emery Ceo from the Blindside Blues Band. For those still curious about the Blindside Blues Band.. this is the time to really check these guys out. Onesko is a guitar god! His rhythmic pattern and all-consuming embrace of the blues, ala Clapton is mesmerizing. Big Electric Cream Jam celebrates all things Cream as the trio pay the ultimate homage to the '60s giants. The disc erupts with a ripping version of "Crossroads" that easily stands up to the original Fillmore version from Wheels of Fire. Onesko's voice even sounds like Clapton but his guitar tone captures true magic. The majority of songs are taken from 1967's Disraeli Gears (4 out of 10) and they stick, pretty much, to the harder rock tracks. You can even hear a little Van Halen in "Politician" where Bogert goes nuts on his bass groove.
The band leave out the poppy "I Feel Free" and there's no "Strange Brew" but they did include a killer, 8-minute version of Howlin’ Wolf's "Spoonful" and the thunderous "Toad" from Fresh. "Toad's" always been a favorite, and the trio nail it down with a gargantuan riff and monster drum solo. The heavy-handed intro of "Sitting on Top of the World" leads right in to Bogert powerful bass thump and really demonstrates how well the band work together. It's played so thick and chunky that one could easily mistake this version as a Sabbath outtake. The upbeat "I'm So Glad" is a nice counter balance, bouncing along to the drumbeat and opens plenty of room for the rhythm guitar to flush out the distinct solo breaks. It’s positively chilling when the guitar and bass synch up in an electric duet. For us, the standout is the wicked pairing of "Outside Women Blues" and its proper link with "Tales of Brave Ulysses" - a bold move but one that works extremely well. No surprise when the crowd goes crazy as the chords are stuck for "Sunshine of Your Love," a mind blowing way to end a thrilling set, especially if you stick around for bonus track "Sweet Wine" and its marathon workout of guitar gymnastics. Wish we could have been there.
