Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek and the Dominos

Polydor / Umgd, 1996

Classic Clapton.
Whenever I need my fix of classic 1970s' rock, I always turn to this album. After touring as a sideman with Delaney and Bonnie, Eric Clapton formed Derek and the Dominos out of Delaney and Bonnie's rhythm section (Bobby Whitlock, keyboards and vocals; Carl Radle, bass; ...

The Cream of Clapton

Eric Clapton

The cream of the cream!
To talk about Eric Clapton is like to refer us to one of these untiring and innovative musicians, who are like true hunters in what concerns to fertile creativeness, rhythmic sense and portentous expressiveness. Since the first time one listens (at least this was ...

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

Polydor / Umgd, 1996

What a comeback!
One of Eric's best recordings. Should be listened to in a hammock under the warm sun with a good beer in one's hand. Great guitar playing mixed with a laid back, mellow feel in the groove. Terrific stuff.

The Road to Escondido

J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton

Reprise / Wea, 2006

More of an aquired taste
This cd is in the laid-back style of JJ Cale. At first, it seemed almost too uneventfull, but with repeated listenings, I've come to appreciate its subtlety more and more. If you happen to be preparing for an MMA fight, this isn't likely to be your choice for ...

Complete Clapton

Eric Clapton

COMPLETE CLAPTON ISN'T GOD, BUT IT AIN'T BAD ! (Slowhand's life in music has been quite a journey)

Rod Stewart - I've got a whole new appreciation for you!

Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007

Eric Clapton

Rhino Records, 2007

Crow must go !
Bill Murray was right at least once when he said, "You will remember this set the rest of your life". He was referring to Disk 2 and the jam with Winwood, Clapton etc. But why was Sheryl Crow even allowed in Chicago on the day much less on stage with real musicians. ...

Bluesbreakers
Bluesbreakers, John Mayall With Eric Clapton ***** To not go track by track describing the genius of each track is going to be a challenge as every song here is worth outstanding merit. Before Bluesbreakers who knew Brits had so much soul, I know I didn't. But the ...

Concert for Bangladesh (2pc)

George Harrison, Bob Dylan

Too bad all things must pass
I have the LP version of this concert, but, until recently, had not viewed the video. I tried to watch a year or so ago on PBS and had a power outage after about twenty minutes. I finally got around to viewing it via Netflix. VERY ENJOYABLE. Many of the concerts I have ...
