Wheels Of Fire is certainly a masterful double album, one with a studio-recorded album and another one recorded live.
It is probably the creative peak of Jack Bruce, in addition to his most magnificent moment as a singer and bassist, with magical and unforgettable interventions, in themes such as White Room, As You Said or the wonderful version of Born Under A Bad Sign.
On the other hand, Eric Clapton shows his zenith as a guitarist, in all his masterful interventions, highlighting his solos in Spoonful or his incendiary sound in Crossroads.
Leaving aside the difference between one album and the other, there is no doubt that this work is the basic cornerstone for rock in the late 1960s and the following decade, an authentic mirror full of enormous musical wealth which would be a inspiration for hundreds of later bands.
