1999, Bruce Cameron Press Kit

During this time I received information of Michael Bruce and Neal Smith as guest on Bruce Cameron CD. Now like many people who haven't heard of Bruce Cameron but his new CD Midnight Dream has many guest most popular were Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys players. 
This CD was pretty good and Cameron's guitar playing was interesting. I would of love to hear more of him on his next release and not being surrounded w/ the many guest he had on his Midnight Dream CD.

The two songs Michael Bruce sings and Neal Smith drums on are “I Want To Be Late” and “Falling Up A Mountain” are great. Michael’s vocals are superb as he gives a growl on these songs. 
Neal Smith also lends his drumming talent on three more tracks “Mind Gardens”, “Just Like A Spaceman” and “She’s So Gone” is one of the best instrumentals on this album. 

It’s sad to note that Bruce Cameron died during the release of this album.
When I purchased this through the internet I received not only the CD but a Press Kit including photos and photocopies of articles praising this CD. It's a shame Cameron's life ended so short.

Further down are some kind words from Michael Bruce about Bruce Cameron.

The Midnight Daydream CD book cover
It's hard to read Bruce Cameron and title Midnight Daydream
that's because it was done in foil which my scanner doesn't pick up well.
The actual cover is much better than this scan.

• Jack Bruce (Cream, B.L.T., and solo career).
• Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience, Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, and Ramatam).
• Buddy Miles (Band of Gypsys, Electric Flag, Buddy Miles Express).
• Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep, Blackfoot).
• Harvey Dalton Arnold (Outlaws).
• Neal Smith (Alice Cooper).
• Michael Bruce (Alice Cooper).
• Bunk Gardner (The Mothers of Invention).
• Billy James (Ant-Bee).
• Billy Cox (Band of Gypsys, Gypsy Sun and Rainbows).


Within a month of the press conference, Cameron committed suicide, ending a rather curious and short high-profile career of recording with world class greats known to millions. The album has been under-represented to the public by its artists, who have tended not to list them in any public forums (with a couple of exceptions). But, the fact remains that the record is a notable one due to the involvement of so many Jimi Hendrix alumni players along with great bassist Jack Bruce among others.
