Product Description
From Amazon.com
For a single disc, this is an admirable chronological tour of superstar Eric Clapton's mid-'60s-to-early-'80s career. It begins too late to include his gestational work with the Yardbirds and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. However, the singer-guitarist's days in Cream ("Sunshine of Your Love," "Crossroads," "White Room"), in Blind Faith ("Presence of the Lord"), as a fledgling solo artist ("After Midnight," "Let It Rain"), in Derek and the Dominos ("Layla," "Bell Bottom Blues"), and through the rest of the '70s ("I Shot the Sheriff," "Cocaine," "Wonderful Tonight," "Promises") to his '81 hit "I Can't Stand It" are well documented by this collection's 19 cuts. The down side is that the CD also vividly illustrates how insubstantial Clapton's work turned in the mid-'70s. But that won't be a problem for fans seeking hits. --Ted Drozdowski

Fav Clapton Album,
By Melting_Pot (Shreveport, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cream of Clapton (Audio CD)
I never really thought much of Eric Clapton. His obsession with the blues seems a little nutty to me, but some of his songs are quite good. This covers his ENTIRE career, which is very long. It includes songs from his late-60's blues/rock band Cream, then includes Layla, from his Derek And The Dominoes work. And it also includes 'Prescence Of The Lord' from his controversial band Blind Faith. Can U handle more? It also includes the best of his solo work, including 'Wonderful Tonight', 'Promises', and many others. If ya wanna get started on this guy, get this one.

The Cream Of The Crop,
By Luke Hamrocknroll (Hermitage, Pa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cream of Clapton (Audio CD)
Eric Clapton is a legend,he has been around more than four decades. Eric Clapton had many phases in his career from Cream, to Derek And The Dominos. Eric Clapton was truely a great guitarist with alot of potenial. This Cream Of Clapton is the best greatest hits compliation out their. It includes all his phases from Sunshine Of Your Love, to Crossroads. This album goes right down the middle with Clapton's music not missing any more good hits as other greatest hits albums do. This album will soothe any guitarist out their. So Highly Recomened!

Funny title, great album,

This review is from: The Cream of Clapton (Audio CD)
On his best day Eric Clapton can blind any listener with lghtning rods of absolutely pure tone. Most of the songs on this single disc compilation capture his best work, his work with Cream still sounds amazing 30 years later. Whether hes kicking out brilliant psychedelia on "White Room" and "Sunshine of youre Love" (still one of the best rock riffs ever written). Or when he attempts to take a trip back in time and pay homage to his idol on "Crossroads". The 70's material doesn't fare as well but "Layla" and the hauntingly beautiful "Waiting for Tonight" prove Clapton still valued tone over heroics. However, the 80's material really suffers here, mostly because Clapton began making a venture into the world of soft rock, in any case "The Cream of Clapton" is a great album for dabblers and hardcore fans alike.
