Clapton, steps back and succeeds :) It's worth it for the gossamer versions of Let It Rain alone. But I've always liked this album and hearing it in two different ways is a wonderful experience. It never sounded so clean and with a compare and contrast you make up your mind if its Dowds or Bramletts mix you prefer. Eric doesn't play less, perh […]
Mark L. Mckenzie Comment on Clapton Chronicles – The Best of Eric Clapton by FairiesWearBoots8272 December 24, 2012
Clapton as mainstream pop artist. BORING!!!! Yikes! It's sad to think that this is what most people think of Eric Clapton as, a poppy Top-40 balladeer. Listen to this album, and you'll be befuddled as to why Clapton is considered an esteemed guitar god. Most people who buy this album probably don't even realize that Clapton is a guitarist! Sur […]
FairiesWearBoots8272 Comment on Eric Clapton (Dlx) (Exp) by Georgia Guitarist "Chuck" December 24, 2012
Nice Set, Could Have Been Even Better I was listening to Clapton before I even knew there was an Eric Clapton, since the first two U.S. Yardbirds albums credited only Jeff Beck. Once I "discovered" EC via Cream, I was hooked. Of course I "backed up" at that point and bought Mayall's Bluesbreakers album. I was devastated when Cream di […]

The National Stadium Dublin, if you look carefully on his left lapel there is some Shamrock and that tells you it was St Patricks Day or Paddy's day 17th March they year was 1978 I think […]
Monosnaps Comment on Play the Blues Live From Jazz at Lincoln Center by FirstEverReview "ian_tasker" December 24, 2012
Superb collaboration If this album doesn't lift your mood and spirits you can't possibly have a pulse.This is music at its very best and it is definitely best to ignore some of the largely ill-informed "this isn't blues", "this isn't Clapton", "this is c**p" reviews from some of people contributing, who, demo […]
FirstEverReview "ian_tasker" Comment on 461 Ocean Boulevard by Todd and In Charge December 24, 2012
Laid Back EC, Living and Loving in South Florida I have to confess that, while I love Clapton, his albums are often a hit-and-miss affair. And I can't say I am a fan of the numerous recent blues tribute albums he has put out lately. For me I enjoy his work with Cream, his guest work, his first few albums, the one he recorded with The Band, a few older l […]
Todd and In Charge Comment on Eric Clapton (Dlx) (Exp) by Philip A.Cohen December 24, 2012
Decent album,excellent compilation. I'm not sure that the Delaney & Bonnie southern-fried sound was the ideal vehicle for Eric Clapton's talents,even if this musical hookup did lead to the formation of "Derek & The Dominos".Some of the early,negative reviews of this set relied on misinfomation.The mix of the album which appeared o […]
Philip A.Cohen Comment on Clapton Chronicles – The Best of Eric Clapton by Daniel J. Hamlow December 24, 2012
The triumphs and tragedies of Clapton presented As the 1980's opened, Clapton seemed more tuned into the mainstream without sacrificing any of his vital bluesy guitar and his throaty vocals. The Clapton Chronicles pick up where Cream of Clapton leaves off.The engaging radio-friendly "Forever Man" from the Phil Collins-produced Behind The Sun c […]

jessthespringer Comment on Play the Blues Live From Jazz at Lincoln Center by K. Bortz "fins up!" December 24, 2012
Wow, what a concert I'm not usually a big Eric Clapton fan, and even though Wynton Marsalis is a phenomenal trumpet player, sometimes he comes off to me as too clinical and he doesn't "swing." Rest assured, both of those preconceptions go out the door in this concert recording.First off, the music on this concert CD consists of old-school […]
