Beware of Mr. Baker

Post by Turdacious »

Documentary about Ginger Baker (former Cream and Blind Faith drummer). Great music-- I had no idea how versatile and well traveled Baker is. Pulls no punches about his personal life either, but still allows him to be the captivating figure he is. Definitely a must watch for music fans; streaming on Netflix.

This article (by the director) is also excellent:

It covers some of the same ground as the documentary, but also a lot that isn't.
