"I Feel Free" is a song first recorded by the British rock band Cream. The song's lyrics were written by Pete Brown,[3] its music by Jack Bruce. It was the first track on the U.S. issue of their debut album, Fresh Cream (1966), and the band's second hit single (the first being "Wrapping Paper"). As with all tracks on Cream's U.S. debut, producer's credit went to Robert Stigwood.

"I Feel Free" showcases the band's musical diversity, effectively combining blues rock with psychedelic pop.[4]

Background

"I Feel Free" was recorded in September 1966 at Ryemuse Studios. The track was recorded on an Ampex reel-to-reel audio tape recorder by Robert Stigwood and John Timperley. Stigwood made the decision to omit the song on the British release of Fresh Cream, and instead released it as a single.[2]
