E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Waiting in the Wings – BBM (Moore/Bruce) Around the Next Dream [1994] E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: varannion ‘Waiting in the Wings’ is the opening track from BBM’s first and only album ‘Around the Next Dream’ and is highly reminiscent of Cream’s ‘White Room’ and/or ‘Tales Brave Ulysses’. It’s certainly very creamy and features some wonderful wah-wah guitar by Gary Moore.
