Bakerandband - From Humble Oranges (1982)

Bakerband was one of many bands formed by ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker, along with guitarist Doug Brockie and bassist Karl Hill.
Ginger Baker, is an English drummer, best known as the founder of the rock band Cream.
A member also of Blind Faith, Hawkwind, and a number of other bands, including his own Ginger Baker's Air Force, he is known for his numerous associations with world music, mainly the use of African influences.
The album features a mix of rock / pop and blues , the trio is cohesive and powerful, but the vocals do not seen to quite come up to the level of quality of many of  his other projects.. just a great lost and found treasure..
