Third Degree by West, Bruce, and Laing (1972)



Trivia Question: Name the Jack Bruce power trio featuring a virtuoso lead guitarist that released a few heavy albums over forty years ago? If you said, Cream, well you'd be right. But you'd also be right if you said West, Bruce, and Laing. This power trio of Bruce, Leslie West, and Corky Laing(both of Mountain) formed in 1972 and cut two studio albums and one live album over the space of a couple of years.

These albums, as you may expect, are pretty bluesy. On some songs, like the one featured here, they sound like a Cream/Mountain mashup. I guess that should not be too surprising.
