Songs as Mental Health Break: Crossroads, Cream (1968)

Hell hounds on your trail, boy.

If you are like me, you will need mental health breaks to maintain your sanity this year. For my part, I am starting my day with a great song, working alphabetically by song title (note: this does not mean a single song per letter). In comments, predict the next song, let me know a deserving song I have passed by, or tell me why this was an awful choice. Enjoy!

“I certainly put that one to bed quickly! I actually have about zero tolerance for most of my old material. Especially "Crossroads". The popularity of that song with Cream has always been mystifying to me. I don’t think it’s very good. . .” — Eric Clapton
