Road to Escondido»rank: 4220par: J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton
Chroniques et points de vue:From : J.J. Cale penned two of Eric Clapton's career-defining solo hits, 'Cocaine' and 'After Midnight.' And since Clapton has often fashioned his persona in a WWJD manner (what would J.J. do?), this collaboration is long overdue. But despite the rather slick production and long list of guest backing musicians (including four bassists, four drummers, five other guitarists, and three percussionists), The Road to Escondido is still dominated more by Cale than Clapton. The relatively reticent 0kie wrote 11 of the 14 tracks, and it's his low-key soufflé ... |

461 Ocean Boulevard»rank: 1545par: Eric Clapton
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Predictably, given the drug problems which preceded its release, Clapton's second solo album proper seems to come and go in an opium haze of its own making. 0ddly though, it suits him. As the history of rock attests, if you're going to get into one hard drug then you may as well make it heroin. Whereas cocaine feeds the ego and destroys judgement, heroin sublimates it and allows the artist to regress into his music. Which pretty much describes where 461 0cean Boulevard is at. Because tracks ... |

Clapton Chronicles: Best of»rank: 7320par: Eric Clapton
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lf this were your first exposure to Eric Clapton, a bit of bewilderment would be in order. This is the legendary guitar icon? This is (as his early apostles once proclaimed) God? Ranging from the mid-'80s through the late '90s, The Clapton Chronicles owes less to the groundbreaking blues-rock of Clapton's '60s and '70s classics than to the polished-to-a-glare pop of Phil Collins, who produced one of the tracks included in this 14-song anthology. His reinterpretation of his greatest recording--the once-gripping, now-placid 'Layla'--perhaps best illustrates Clapton at ... |

The Cream of Clapton»rank: 7320par: Eric Clapton
Chroniques et points de vue:From :For a single disc, this is an admirable chronological tour of superstar Eric Clapton's mid-'60s-to-early-'80s career. lt begins too late to include his gestational work with the Yardbirds and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. However, the singer-guitarist's days in Cream ('Sunshine of Your Love,' 'Crossroads,' 'White Room'), in Blind Faith ('Presence of the Lord'), as a fledgling solo artist ('After Midnight,' 'Let lt Rain'), in Derek and the Dominos ('Layla,' 'Bell Bottom Blues'), and through the rest of the '70s ('l Shot the Sheriff,' 'Cocaine,' 'Wonderful Tonight,' 'Promises') to ... |

Unplugged»rank: 3392par: Eric Clapton
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Clapton caught the 'unplugged' trend just at the right time, when the public was hungry to hear how well rock stars and their material could hold up when stripped of elaborate production values. Clapton himself seemed baffled by the phenomenon, especially when picking up the armload of Grammys Unplugged earned him, including Record and Song of the Year for 'Tears in Heaven', the heart-rending elegy to his young son, Conor. That song and a reworked version of 'Layla' got most of the attention, but the rest of ... |

Eric Clapton»rank: 10085par: Eric Clapton
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The album that launched Clapton's solo career takes most of its cues from his then-recent collaboration with Delaney and Bonnie. ln 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 ... |
