Free Music Review: The blues: another way to feel and live!
Hit: 5 Stars


If B.B. King -in his style- has over passed all the possible adjectives to become a true myth of the guitar and Jimmy Hendrix burnt his own bridges with his flaming and passionate personality, Eric Clapton has been able to remain for most of four decades at the stages, always astonishing us with his tenacity, wrought by his untiring creativity and constant study. His variegated career has allowed him to walk for so many roads, that hardly you will find a genre on which he has not left his genius trace.

What makes Clapton' splaying so admirable resides in his skillfulness to live every little piece he plays. He adds the interpretation a winged expression, hovered and spiced for a bulletproof conviction.

This compilation of blue pieces, literally claimed for emerging from the annals of his admirable artistic trajectory. And chronologically, this album carries us from the first blues works in the middle sixties to 1970 with "Have you ever loved a woman" a piece that has signed its own status with golden letters in the coveted Pantheon of Blues immortals: "The sky is crying" is another fascinating title, a theme that breathes nostalgia with sentiment, played with such intensity without abusing of great riffs and sonorous volume, discretely expressive and superbly performed. ."Crying" is an admirable and anthological piece which conveys us to the original sources of the blues. "Early in the morning" is another masterpiece, filled of innovativeness and that visible atmosphere of nostalgic mood admirably played and expressed. "Give me strength" is another formidable sample of a heartfelt blues played with such commitment level that will leave you hold at your seat. "Meet me" is an exquisite piece, full rounded of vigorous originality and feeling. County jail blues is another superb example of genius at work.

In sum this is a true state of art album that simply cannot be absent of your invaluable collection.

A must - have.

Blues Poster

CLAPTON ERIC BLUES (2CD)
There's a telling subtext to this retrospective of Eric Clapton blues sides. Culled from recordings cut between 1970 (the Layla sessions) and 1980 (when Clapton cut his final Polydor album, Another Ticket), these sides finds EC exploring his beloved blues while in a fragile state of mind and body. After all, he was on heroin when he concocted Layla, and though he kicked that habit in the early '70s, he continued to test his tolerance for alcohol throughout the decade. When you think of the Clapton of the '60s, you think of the fire and ice of his playing with the Yardbirds, John Mayall, and Cream. When you think of his '70s playing, it's wearier and perhaps more reflective. (It was easy to mistake melancholic for mellow at the time.) The 35 selections included on these two discs find the temporarily deflated rock superstar leaning on the blues for support as he draws on likes of Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, and Little Walter for inspiration. Hardcore fans will appreciate previously unreleased versions of Bo Diddley's "Before You Accuse Me," a solo take on the traditional "Alberta," a 1974 cover of Willie Dixon's "Meet Me (Down at the Bottom), and a remixed live 1976 version of "Further on Up the Road" with Freddy King sitting in. Just about anyone, however, will be able to appreciate how this music reflects Clapton's strengths as a musician... and weaknesses as a man. --Steven Stolder
