This is the fourth of NettieBaker’s highly acclaimed and entertaining books. In this one she tackles thechallenge of documenting every show by Cream, the legendary band formed by herfather Ginger with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton. Cream lasted just over twoyears (July 1966 - November 1968). They briefly got together again for the Rock& Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1993, and finally made it to theirexciting and well-documented 2005 reunion.Thoroughresearch answers once and for all questions of how Cream formed, were theyCream or The Cream? What really happened when they jammed with Hendrix? Why didthey split up? And much more, debunking many tired old myths in the process.Nettie was really there at the time (offering behind the scenes tit bits) andhas also drawn on the contemporary accounts of how Cream was experienced on theday both by fans and the musicians themselves. As Nettie says, “Crucially,these were very young men who found themselves living in interesting times.”Throw outeverything you thought you knew about them; get to know the young Ginger, Jackand Eric and be prepared for a few surprises. Cream could never have existedand achieved such an enduring legacy without having a deep and profoundfriendship at its core. They were brothers.

Tales of a Rock Star's Daughter are the sharp, funny recollections of Nettie Baker, eldest daughter of Ginger Baker, legendary `wild man’ and drummer with the Graham Bond Organisation, Cream, Blind Faith and Airforce. From poverty to riches and back, featuring a colourful cast of characters known and unknown. Famous faces of the music world and aristocracy are scattered throughout the text alongside those from the `normal-land’ that Nettie found herself half in and half out of and set in the vanished world of sixties/seventies/eighties UK pop culture.

Fire up the crimpers and get backcombing! Hairspray and heartbreak abound as the painted youth of the 1980s go on the rampage in a North West London suburb. Further `Tales of a Rock Star's Daughter' by Nettie, eldest offspring of Cream/Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker, follows on from her hilarious and critically acclaimed first volume. Here she negotiates eviction and poverty and goes off the rails with a new cast of maniacs. From a 1970 meeting with Jimi Hendrix, through to Live Aid, Greenham Common, a cancer op and a brief glimpse of Cream's 2005 reunion. This is essentially a punk rock, pub-based soap-opera like no other; set against venues long-gone and values out-dated, in the smashed-up ruins of a changing world.
