| Description | Whether he''s God, Slowhand, or simply Eric, there is no doubting that the boy Clapton is one of the greatest guitar virtuosos of all time. After almost 50 years in the business, the authentic musical genius that is Eric Clapton continues to astonish and delight music fans the world over. He has the unique distinction of being the only person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times: as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream, and as a solo performer. This compilation brings together nearly 70 minutes of superb music beloved by Eric across his life and career, and for the most part consisting of cuts that have hugely influenced his own composition, sound and playing. As may well have been expected, a good smattering of blues is present, represented by some of the finest players from the classic era of the devil''s music - Robert Johnson, Sonny and Brownie, Big Bill Broonzy, Elmore James, Skip James, Billy Boy Arnold and Howlin'' Wolf - but elsewhere on this fascinating disc sitting alongside these legends are less well known inspirations from Jimi Hendrix and The Band, Bob Marley, Johnny Otis and numerous others. Classic Rock & Roll and Rhythm and Blues are also present from the likes of Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Bo Diddley, helping to create an eclectic compilation of music courtesy of the varied and exciting musical taste of the man who still outplays every other white boy with a guitar. Completed with 16 page booklet with notes by music historian Derek Barker, this unique compilation will prove a delight for Clapton fans everywhere and to anyone with an interest in some of the finest music to ever get laid down in a studio. |
