Re: New Clapton album on the way

His J.J. Cale collaboration was pretty awesome. If this lives up to the expectations that one set, I'll be a very happy Feldster

The tracklist seems to indicate it's a very bluesy one as well, which is good, because that's when Slowhand was at his best IMO (although it's all pretty awesome).

And I like Derek Trucks....

Eric should stick to doing things with Cale and B.B. King....he'll never go wrong that way....

I guess I am in the minority because I didn't care for the J.J. Cale album at all.

Ah, Eric Clapton...one of my fave musician and in my top 4 fave guitarists. I read some people here prefer his rocking 70's stuff to blues, I beg to differ... His best periods were:
1. Up to 1970 - Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek And The Dominoes which are the peak of his career, culminating with the fantasti Live At Fillmore album which has his best playing ever.
2. From the mid 90's till now - When he started playing THE BLUES again, From The Craddle album, some amazing live performances which continued all the way till today. In 2008 he realeased great live album with Steve Winwood with amazing versions of Double Trouble, Little Wing and Voodoo Chile which show that God still has it.

I hope the new album will be bluesy and electric...

Unfortunately...this is not a very good album,it's something you'd listen to while working in your garden or having afternoon tea.

Yes, the first half is kinda boring, but the second half has some decent guitar solos...
