Perhaps Clapton's most important early album, with his hit "I Shot the Sheriff," this is a classic collection of solid Clapton cream of the cream. It leads off with a favorite song of Blind Willie Johnson's, "Motherless Children Have a Hard Time," and was probably learned from Texas Bluesman Mance Lipscomb, who carried on Johnson's slide techniques. Clapton makes "Motherless Children" his own, rollicking through with his wailing guitar, and shows his early interest in blues, which today he represents as importantly as rock & roll. You can't help but rock your head with bluzy "Willie and The Hand Jive," and you can taste the California wine as you imagine a Pacific sunset while "Let It Grow" swims in your soul. You'll smile as you recognize "Mainline Florida" and instantly rock with Eric's soaring vocals and epic guitar riffs. Eric Clapton is truly an under-appreciated American legend... and YOU can help stop that! An essential album, that has only gotten better with time. Thank you Eric!Read full review
I, have been replacing my favorite vinyl records of years past, with high quality C.D.'s, no more pops and skipping with my well loved/used records E-Bay makes shopping for rare / hard to find items easy and the vender's discription made my selection a breeze.With local music stores a luxury of the past, flea markets, and thrift stores take too much time. There's no better way to browse the music isles than a good E-Bay vendor. It works well for Me !!, and will continue my Quest with my favorite E-Bay vendors ! Thanks for the satisfying help. Try it, You'll be pleased too, just leave me mine. O.K.?? David M. Long Beach, Cal.
