Kutheni u-Eric Clapton ecinga ukuba icwecwe lokuqala likaCream 'lalibuthathaka ngokwenene'

Xa u-Eric Clapton ebuzwa ukuba kutheni ecinga ukuba i-albhamu yokuqala yeCream 'ibuthathaka ngokwenene', wachaza ukuba kwakungenxa yokuba babesazama ukufumana isandi sabo. Uthe bonke basebancinci kwaye abanamava, kwaye oko kubonakala kumculo wabo. Kwakhona wathi wayengonwabanga ngokukodwa ngokusebenza kwakhe kwi-albhamu, kwaye kwakusemva kwexesha, xa bephuhliswe ngakumbi njengeqela, waziva ukuba baqala ukukhanya.

I-Cream, ngexesha lokuhlala kwabo elifutshane kunye, bathatha ihlabathi ngesaqhwithi kwaye babhengeza iminyaka emibini yokulawula eyababona bekhupha ii-albhamu ezine ze-studio kwaye bakhusele ngokuqinile amagama ka-Eric Clapton, uJack Bruce kunye noGinger Baker kwiincwadi zembali. Ukuze ibhendi ihlonishwe njengeCream, nangona bekunye ixesha elifutshane kangako, unokulindela ukuba ingoma nganye abayivelileyo ingabinasiphako kodwa, ngokutsho kukaClapton, oko bekungenjalo konke konke njengoko wachazayo. icwecwe lokuqala njengoko buthathaka ngokwenene.

Abathathu bakhuphe umzamo wabo wokuqala, I-Cream entsha , NgoDisemba 9th 1966, eyayiyi-LP yokuqala kwilebula yeReaction Records, inkampani ephethwe ngumlimi kunye nomphathi uRobert Stigwood-esiya kufika kuyo kamva. Icwecwe kwangoko laba yimpumelelo yorhwebo kunye nebalulekileyo kwaye, njengoko iminyaka ihambile, irekhodi liye lathathwa njengelinye lawona macwecwe abalulekileyo e-rock kulo lonke ixesha. Okumangalisayo kukuba, nangona kunjalo, u-Eric Clapton unembono eyahlukileyo kumzamo wokuqala webhendi.

Iqela lalikunye kuphela iinyanga ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokukhululwa kwerekhodi kwaye, enyanisweni, I-Cream entsha sisandi esikhulu sokunyathela kwindawo engaziwayo. Kungenxa yoko le nto ithathwa kakhulu. Umxube omhle we-LP wehlabathi we-jazz, i-blues kunye ne-rock yenza enye yeerekhodi ezichazayo zexesha. Nangona kunjalo, uClapton osoloko engumntu othanda ukwenza izinto ngendlela egqibeleleyo, ukholelwa ukuba iqela lifuna ixesha elingakumbi estudio ukuze ligudise yonke into ayijonga njengongqameko olubi.

Ndacinga ukuba icwecwe likaJohn Mayall lingcono kunezinto zeCream, uClapton wazityhilela I-Classic Rock emva ngo-2017. Ndacinga ukuba sibuthathaka ngokwenene, ukunyaniseka, kwirekhodi. Zimbalwa izinto endandizingca ngazo—ngoku nangoku. Uninzi lwazo bezikwicwecwe lokuvalelisa [ Sala kakuhle , 1969]. Andazi. Ndicinga ukuba salahleka ngokukhawuleza ngeCream. Yayingumsi nje nezipili.

Besizama nje ukugcina into iqengqeleka. Sasingenayo ngokwenene inkokeli, wongezelela. Ndicinga ukuba leyo yayiyinxalenye yengxaki. Ubunkokeli bebuya kutshintsha ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso. Ngomzuzu omnye iya kuba ndim, ngomzuzu olandelayo ibe nguJack, olandelayo ibe nguGinger. Bekungadibanisi. Ngaphambi kokuba sihambe kakhulu saba liqela elikhulu. Yayiyiloo nto yokuzama ukubamba eyakho intsomi.

I-Cream yayi, ngokobuchwepheshe, i-supergroup yeentlobo. Omathathu la malungu ebeze kwiqela elivela kwiiprojekthi ezinje ngeYardbirds kunye noJohn Mayall kunye neBluesbreakers, into ethetha ukuba bahlukile ekuqhubeni kweqela elitsha lokusila kwindawo yesehlakalo. Nangona kunjalo, umvelisi kunye nomphathi uStigwood wasebenzisa imvelaphi yabo ukuze azuze ngokudlala kwingcamango 'yeqela eliphezulu' elenza ngoko nangoko ukuba lonke ishishini lihlale phantsi kwaye liqaphele. Ngaphambi kokuba bazi, iCream yaba yenye yezona zenzo kuthethwa ngazo kweli lizwe nto leyo eyayithetha ukuba phantse yonke into abayivelisayo yayiza kunconywa.

Andiyithathi nzulu kakhulu, utshilo uClapton malunga nento ebizwa ngokuba 'yintsomi'. Ndicinga ukuba inomdla kakhulu, kodwa ndiye ndahlala kwelinye icala laloo nto. Ndimele ndivume, ndinetyala lokuyenza, nam, ngoko ke kufuneka ndingagwebi ngokufanelekileyo ngenxa yokuba ndiyazingca ngokwam, njengoko ndenze noRobert Johnson. Andizange ndibhalisele loo ntsomi malunga nokuthengisa umphefumlo wakhe, kodwa kukho into efana naleyo ... ukuthengisa umphefumlo wakho, kodwa ukuzinikela kwinto ethile. Oko kunokuba yingcaciso engcono yazo zonke ezi zinto.

Nokuba uClapton akanguye umlandeli omkhulu wehlabathi I-Cream entsha , iseyeyona ngxelo ibalulekileyo kwimbali yamatye. Ukuba uStigwood akazange asebenzise ingqondo yakhe yokuthengisa yobuchule ukuze abethe iCream kubantu abaninzi, ngubani owaziyo ukuba ibhendi yayiza kuqhubeka ukwenza impembelelo enkulu kangaka. Ukuba belingafumananga ngqalelo iqela elikhulu elithi ‘intsomi’ elinike lona iqela, ngaba besiya kuthetha ngalo ngoku? Kulungile, I-Cream entsha isavakala imnandi kuthi yonke le minyaka kamva, nokuba ayivakali kwenye yamadoda ayidalileyo.
