Product Description
Product Description
2010 album from the guitar Icon. Co-produced by long-time collaborator Doyle Bramhall II, Clapton features an all star cast of musical collaborations started with the legendary JJ Cale, drummer Jim Keltner, bassist Willie Weeks, and keyboardist Walt Richmond-and the sessions later added guests including Steve Winwood, Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint, and Derek Trucks. Clapton created a collection that touches on everything from century-old traditional brass bands to little-known Country Blues to brand-new originals. The result is both relaxed and revelatory, and unlike anything the guitarist has done in his legendary career.

Hard to believe the harsh reviews. Eric Clapton has always been a blues artist. He left the Yardbirds because they wouldn't commit to blues. He dominated Cream because he was by that time a major guitarist, and he imposed on them his idea of blues rock. He has continued to play the blues. Some people see him as a sellout to commercialism, but this most recent album should dispel that, it is pure blues. Many of the songs are more gritty than the commercial stream would accept, and I expect that this is why there are dissenters, but this album is a return to his roots. The music is blues, the voice is mellow and right, and this is one of the definitive Clapton recordings. Buy and enjoy.

In my view, this is the best Clapton studio release since 1994's 'From the Cradle'. It's been on my turntable for three solid days, and every tune is a keeper and a grower. On this release, the man is about playing leisurely paced blues, rockabilly, American traditional, Louisiana, and gospel-tinged tunes. If you want guitar pyrotechnics and are looking to rock out like it's 1973, it would be best to look elsewhere. That said, what's presented here is a diverse set of well-crafted songs played with conviction to perfection. Despite the musical diversity, everything melds together surprisingly well from one track to the next. Clapton's voice only seems to improve with age, and I don't believe he's ever sounded better. Among the assembled top-tier session sidemen, he's joined by old friends J.J. Cale and Sheryl Crow. Fans of Clapton's co-effort with Cale on 'The Road to Escondido' will surely enjoy this. The vinyl package includes 2 regular weight LPs housed in an attractive gatefold cover. A photo montage of the recording sessions is presented inside the cover, as well as complete credits. The sound, as you would expect from an analog source, is warmer and richer than on the digital versions and suits this style of music perfectly. A recording of this calibre, however, warrants a 180g or 200g pressing. Overall, I rate this 4 out of 5 Fenders.

If you're a Clapton fan, you won't be sorry you bought this low-key, bluesy album.

Old school blues
If you love old school blues get this CD. If your looking for more contemporary Clapton, don't. This is a great listen for those who miss the more bluesy Clapton.

Not Eric's best effort
I am a lifelong Clapton fan, but this work has no zip. Made the mistake of listening to it during a Sunday after car ride in my GTI. Almost puts you to sleep. Read more

Great stuff, Clapton shows his roots
Great album from Clapton. Blend of blues and jazz. No it's not a rockin' guitar slinging album, but it's very listenable and quite enjoyable. Well done Eric. Read more

Yawn ???
One star is being overly harsh. No this is not the record of the year, no it is not the best music that Clapton has made, but then to say that it is not playable ... Read more
