This review is from: The Country Blues Roots of Eric Clapton, Vol. 1: Under the Influence (Audio CD)

If you've ever heard Eric Clapton referred to as 'slowhand' and wondered why this allbum will give you your answer. A master of blues guitar, Clapton has had many experiences and influences which affect his style. While it couldn't possibly be all-encompassing, this album does a great job of enveloping his history of influences. Love Clapton? Love Blues? New to Clapton? New to Blues? If you answer yes to any or all of these, then click this album home.

This review is from: The Country Blues Roots of Eric Clapton, Vol. 1: Under the Influence (Audio CD)

...ok, so it says Country Blues -- but the title might suggest to some that these are the only roots of EC's work. It would be good to see a similar that included other major influencessuch as Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, etc.
