I'm So Glad
Cream Lyrics

[Chorus:]
I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do

Tired of weeping

Tired of moaning
Tired of groaning for you

[Chorus]

Tired of weeping
Tired of moaning
Tired of groaning for you

[Chorus: x8]

"I'm So Glad" was an old blues tune written by Nehemiah "Skip" James. When the band recorded the song, they made sure that Skip received the royalties he was entitled to, something that was not often done in those days. The money probably gave him some comfort in his last years. Skip had the opportunity to see Cream perform his song on stage before he succumbed to cancer in 1969. Jack Bruce received a letter of gratitude from his widow. >>

Fresh Cream is one of the greatest albums ever made. I still remember the first time I heard it, fall 1967. I was going through some changes, pending being drafted. I eventually went into the Army, but with a clearer attitude that helped me get through it. This album, and this song, were near the top of what kept me going. Muddy Waters, the Beatles, so many great bands in those days, Hendrix, Janis, Creedence, even the Stones. Hendrix's Electric Ladyland still brings it all back, as does Fresh Cream. We were lucky.

@Sonic Boom hey Sonic I was born in 58 and I remember exactly where I was standing in my living room with my large family when Ed Sullivan first announced the Beatles and we all were transfixed .
Because I had older siblings we always had the best rock and roll in our house and thanks to my dad we always had the best jazz and big band music , and classical .
My parents love the Beatles And I remember watching live on TV them singing Hey Jude and my dad was sitting on the couch singing along and clapping his hands to it in time

George & All: This is a Skip James song. Old blues man who converted and went to church music for 30 years. Was found in late '60s and was sick. Cream used royalties for Skip's medical help and added years to his life. Good works from a great musicians. Thanks Jack, Eric & Ginger for rekindling Skip James' recognition AND for your music!

Tony Thomas

Skip was already dying when blues enthusiasts, or one might say blues singer exploiters, plucked him out of a hospital in Mississippi and never really saw to it that James got proper treatment so that they could record him and put him into coffee houses and take him to newport, This, leadi to James eventually getting castrated (the cancer was in his penis) before it all was done. This was recorded in 1967 and James died in 1969. James converted briefly and went to the Dallas and Birmingham seminaries his father ran in the mid and late 1930s before backsliding into his normal occupations of bootlegging and pimping and share cropping,

Apart from the solo, the way Jack and Eric push the beat along with tricky syncopations is very impressive. I also like the solo on Sweet Wine, even though it's double-tracked.

Bruce is perfect on this.

Tony Thomas

Bruce does the real work here, mjuch as I love them and this album as a whole, Eric and Ginger are a bit incoherent and too free form here, once the intro quoting skip james,. Instead of just giving beats and rhythm Ginger gives a real melodic unity to the whole thing with his strong bass line that you can confuse with Eric's picking,. Bruce is the one on this cut who has cohesive unity, The singing sounds almost like it belongs to the Kingston Trio compare this to Skip James the demonic possession and other on the edge of all emotion that James Playing and singing make. I once wrote the 1931 recordings James made for Paramount make Robert Johnson's sides seem like easy listening music. Listen to it here:
