Product Description
From Amazon.com
Released immediately following the elaborate Crossroads box set, Journeyman is EC's way of feigning humility while cranking out the blues for his attentive audience. Featuring the help of famous sidemen George Harrison, Phil Collins, Robert Cray, Chaka Khan, and David Sanborn, Journeyman is less a superstar romp than a moderate collection of songs tastefully produced and economically performed. Flashes of Clapton's lead work burst through while his singing remains modest. The cover of "Before You Accuse Me" is heartfelt and while Clapton may at this point be incapable of delivering the down and dirty power of jukejoint blues, he still manages to find a little bit o' soul among the pickings. --Rob O'Connor
Chronique amazon.fr
Sorti immédiatement après Crossroads, Journeyman est la façon qu'a Eric Clapton de feindre l'humilité en faisant sonner son blues pour un public particulièrement attentif. Malgré des invités de marque comme George Harrison, Phil Collins, Robert Cray, Chaka Khan et David Sandborn, Journeyman tient plus de la sélection de chansons produites avec goût et jouées avec économie que de l'étalage de superstars. Les solos de guitare de Clapton explosent alors que sa voix reste effacée. La reprise de "Before You Accuse Me" vient du coeur. Même s'il ne pouvait pas alors livrer la puissance brute du blues, il parvient à mettre quelques touches de bonne soul. --Rob O'Connor

I dont understand why more people dont like this album,
By Morton (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journeyman (Audio CD)
I know this isnt Slowhand or From The Cradle but Journeyman is a really good album. None of the songs are really bad so I dont see why anyone could not like it. Journeyman is the best Eric Clapton album of the 1980's. Its not a very forceful album, its more laid back but its still great.The album starts of with one of its best songs 'Pretending' this song sounds like an old blues through back and it has an amzing guitar solo, as always. 'Bad Love' is the biggest hit off the album and the best song on the album too. 'Bad Love' is one of Eric Claptons best songs, once you get past the keyboards. 'Hound Dog' is a great cover, but not one of his better covers. 'No Alibies' is another great song and probly the second best on Journeyman and the solo is just plan amazing! The album ends with 'Before You Accuse Me' and its a cover song and a great way to end the album. 'Before You Accuse Me' is one of the best cover songs Eric Clapton ever recorded. Journeyman may not be as good a From The Cradle and it may not be his most powerful album but this is certainly one of his better albums, this may even be better then slowhand now that I think about it....

An ass-kicking Journeyman!,
By andy8047 (Nokomis,Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journeyman (Audio CD)
JOURNEYMAN is the follow-up to 1986's AUGUST. As the 1980's neared the end,PRETENDING was on hit parade and played on rock stations worldwide. This album was released in the fall of 1989. Guest artists include Phil Collins and the late great George Harrison. Harrison wrote RUN SO FAR and sang background vocals. Other great tracks are NO ALIBIS and other hits BEFORE YOU ACCUSE ME,BAD LOVE and RUNNING ON FAITH. HARD TIMES is bluesy. In fact that style of music influenced Eric Clapton. OLD LOVE,along with RUNNING ON FAITH and BEFORE YOU ACCUSE ME have been used for the live follow-up UNPLUGGED. HOUND DOG has slightly different lyrics. It doesn't sound like the version recorded by the late great Elvis Presley. All the other songs are good. Hey,I love the lyric,"You say I'm spending my money on other women and taking money from someone else."!
