8pm Pop Music

It’s not exactly Cream--maybe more like Half and Half--but Eric Clapton does sit in on the new album by former Cream mate Jack Bruce. The two reprise the classic band’s “Sunshine of Your Love” and “White Room” on Bruce’s “Shadows in the Air.” It’s another formidable guitarist, however, who has joined Bruce for his current tour: Living Colour’s Vernon Reid.
