Artists, Chaka Khan, David Sanborn, George Harrison, Hank Crawford, John Oates, Phil Collins and Robert Cray help Eric Clpaton to make this a fine album. Tracks include: 1. Pretending 2. Anything For Your Love 3. Bad Love 4. Running On Faith 5. Hard Times 6. Hound Dog 7. No Alibis 8. Run So Far - (with George Harrison) 9. Old Love - (with Robert Cray) 10. Breaking Point 11. Lead Me On 12. Before You Accuse Me
Excellent guitar work, of course, but the production is too thick and takes away from the real Clapton sound. With that kind of talent you don't need to add all the studio hoopla. With this album, Clapton gets away from his base and panders a bit to then popular, more self indulgent sound promoted by the record labels. Still, it is Eric Clapton with some, if not all, good tunes and his expertise with the stratocaster; that's why I bought it.
Another outstanding CD from the Master of the Strat !! Includes the Hits "Pretending", "Bad Love", "No Alibis", & "Before You Accuse Me". EC sounds like he's havin' fun covering the Elvis classic "Hound Dog", and he shows off his 1ST CLASS blues-playin' on "Old Love". We also get to hear George Harrison's "Run So Far"...13 years before it was released on George's "Brainwashed". Just chalk it up as another Must-Have CD from One of the Top Guitar Players of All-Time !!
This CD is one of Clapton's best. I think he chose a collection of songs that he was able to add his magical feel to. Being one of the most respected musicians in the world. This album really shows his understanding of different genres. His guitar tracks on this album are superb and flawless. world class standards for record producing for the guitarist have been set. I recommend this album as a must for anyone who appreciates music theory and composition.
great cd, great blues, great artist. love it all. was priced reasonably, wanted to add more clapton after buying his " from the cradle" on ebay and loving it. this is also awesome, very good blues and vibe, highly recommend this one....
