Edward Sharpe and Cream

Recently my boyfriend and I have been listening to quite a lot of classic rock music. Chris discovered Cream, thus I discovered Cream. But while listening to their music, I did notice that the lead singer of  Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Alex Ebert, vocals sound similar to the vocals of Jack Bruce, the lead vocals of Cream. I notice it especially when Bruce' vocals are high pitched during this song:


Cream- "Strange Brew"

Then compare it to an Edward Sharpe song...

Edward Sharpe and The Magentic Zeros- "Come in Please"

Maybe it's just me? Sometimes it usually is. But whatever, maybe my ears don't lie?
Either way, I love both these bands.
