Free Music Notes for Me & Mr Johnson

Free Music Review: Heartfelt and beautiful...an outstanding piece of work.
Hit: 5 Stars

There are basically two ways, in my opinion, to divide up the quality of the enormous and expansive musical output of Eric Clapton. If he is staying close to his blues-rock base, expanding on it while honoring its traditions or covering those traditions outright, the result is likely to be an excellent album and worthwhile addition to your collection. If he decides to hire some hot-shot current producer and go modern pop, adding on multi-layered keyboards and arrangements that follow current market trends instead of instincts, the result is likely to be forgettable or embarassing. It's always been that way for Eric...going all the way back to the Bluesbreakers' debut CD. But these marvellous songs from Robert Johnson are the heart and soul of Eric's music...hell, they're the heart and soul of rock music, period.

Eric sounds revitalized and challenged, positively leaping into this music with unabandoned faith. His vocals and guitar playing are top-notch throughout, and the whole band sounds as if they're having a boys-night-out. Don't let terms like 'bloozak' fool you --- this stuff will consume you, and it's amazing if these songs haven't reached you already in one form of another. For example, "Love In Vain" has reached a lot of rock listeners many times over by the Rolling Stones cover, but here, Eric makes the song his own with stinging slide guitar and assured vocals. It's just one of many great moments on this CD. Kudos to the guys in the band as well, that decorate this album with some of the nastiest ensemble playing heard to man for twenty years. This is an all-around triumphant work, and millions of miles better than stuff like 'Pilgrim', 'Reptile', 'Unplugged', or some of the other dogs in Eric's catalog. You'll hear the roots of Elvis' 'Sun Sessions', the Stones' 'Exile on Main Street', even Aerosmith's 'Rocks' with the songwriting of Robert Johnson. And Eric isn't shy about acknowledging, in so many words in the liner notes, that when he gets a little too full of himself, this music and songwriting from the father of the blues is what brings him back to Earth and keeps him honest.

Now, c'mon Eric, it's time to make that follow-up to 'Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs' ! Perhaps you and Buddy Guy this time since Duane A., God rest his soul, is no longer with us.
