This review is from: Eric Clapton - Me and Mr. Johnson (Guitar Recorded Versions) (Paperback)
Finally, Eric Clapton has gone back to what he loves best and does best. This album is absolutely pristine, it is perfect, it is everything it should be. It is Eric Clapton performing, in his own voice and his own way, that music which first inspired him. And it's absolutely wonderful.
Okay, I have to say this, probably shouldn't but will anyway. Some songs I think Johnny Winter did better. But, you know, this is Winter's natural territory. He never had to try as hard as Eric since he was born here in Texas blues. And even despite that, and knowing all these songs and how they have been previously performed by others, I absolutely love this album, think it's Eric's best since 461 Ocean Blvd. Chris Rea did that amazing eleven CD set of Blues Guitars, and now Eric's done Robert Johnson's work, gone back both of them, to their roots. Does this mean, (I hope, I hope!) a Blues Renaissance? We can only hope. |
