Great moments in obscure rock ‘n’ roll: West, Bruce & Laing, “The Doctor,” 1972

Individually none of these three were obscure–they found fame with Cream (Jack Bruce) and Mountain (Leslie West & Corky Laing)–but their brief early 70s career as a "super trio" is generally (and not wrongly) forgotten, but this is one of a handful of strong numbers from their debut album in 1972 ("Turn Me Over" and "Pleasure" from that same album are also worth a listen–both feature Bruce on vocals, unlike "The Doctor" which features West.)

 

And Happy New Year!
