Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The album that launched Clapton's solo career takes most of its cues from his then-recent collaboration with Delaney and Bonnie. In fact, Delaney produced the album, which explains its loose, jam-session feel that sometimes finds Clapton battling against a cast that includes guest stars Stephen Stills, Sonny Curtis, Rita Coolidge, Leon Russell, and Delaney and Bonnie. Yet this is the album on which Clapton established himself as a forceful singer, and it also produced some of his most enduring classics, including "Blues Power," "After Midnight," and "Let It Rain." --Daniel Durchholz

5.0 out of 5 stars One of E.C.'s Best!, April 23, 2000
By M. Scagnelli (Brandon, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Eric Clapton (Audio CD)
Eric Clapton's debut album as a solo artist is one of his best albums ever. It has the hits that are great, such as After Midnight, Blues Power, and Let It Rain. It also great lesser known songs, no fillers. Some of these are Bad Boy, Lonesome and a Long Way From Home, and Lovin' You Lovin' Me. All the songs are great. This album is what Clapton is all about. Buy It.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blues Power, December 21, 2005
This review is from: Eric Clapton (Audio CD)
I cant believe most only gave this alb---CD 4 stars. If you play rock or blues guitar, or just like that type of music, pick this one up. When Clapton was young,and let it all rip out. That strange feeling you get while listening to it is normal, chills down the spine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different Flavor, January 7, 2001
By G. J Wiener (Westchester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eric Clapton (Audio CD)
This debut Eric Clapton has some blues rock but deviates into other styles. Easy Now is one pretty acoustic ballad and Eric gives one of his best vocal performances. The lyrics are pretty hip with the time it was recorded too. The female background vocalists add a special touch on several tracks most notably Lonesome andBottle Of Red Wine. However the real meat and potatoes songs are Blues Power, Bad Boy, After Midnight, and Let It Rain. They really rock with a passion as Eric's vocals really touch the soul. Do not overlook this recording.
