Free Music Notes for Sessions For Robert J. (CD + DVD)
Free Music Review: Welcome back to O'Cliff... EC
Hit: 4 Stars
Interpritation... isn't that what Music is? Same with Opinions.
This Collection is full and ambient. Things do change with time, as EC has. Peter Green's Mr.J was precise, yet raw. John Hammond's was enlightening, yet masked. Clapton's touch is that of a Master playing a Legends work. Try filling the rifts on your own, if not convinced. Johnson could play Sir... Clapton has learned much through time... he couldn't do quite the RJ in the 70's, sitt'n with Freddy & me in O'Cliff, but it was good... even then. Some still like to compare... time moves on.
Mr.C, still inspires me. I'll catch that train yet.
Sessions For Robert J. (CD + DVD) Poster
Early in this visual postscript to Clapton's Me and Mr. Johnson album, bassist Nathan East says "some stuff sounds better than the record." Actually, nearly all of it does--thanks to a few more months of digesting the material--as the camera follows the guitar legend and his band through warm-spirited rehearsals (including an incendiary "Kindhearted Woman Blues") for their 2004 tour. Clapton and guitarist Doyle Bramhall II are also captured at the Dallas hotel where Robert Johnson recorded in 1937. There they play acoustic duet versions of Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail," "Me and the Devil Blues," "Love in Vain," and others that ring with passion and virtuosity as Bramhall's slide accents the clean, beautifully articulated lines of Clapton's six-sting interpretations and unrestrained singing. Clapton also plays a few solo numbers and expounds on his love for Johnson's music and the Delta bluesman's technique. But he speaks most eloquently through his playing, which says volumes about his affection for and deep commitment to this music. The CD features 11 songs from the DVD. --Ted DrozdowskiLive, intimate, and raw, Sessions For Robert J is the essential audio/video companion to Eric Clapton's 2004 gold, Top 10 Me And Mr. Johnson, tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson. Filmed during tour rehearsals in London and Dallas plus a Los Angeles hotel room and the Dallas warehouse where Johnson made some of his final recordings, Sessions for Robert J finds Clapton performing all Robert Johnson songs with his touring band, acoustically with Doyle Bramhall II and solo-as well as discussing Johnson and his influence. A performance/documentary DVD with 14 tracks (from which the 11 CD selections are taken), Sessions for Robert J is blues heaven.
Japanese pressing features the same audio and video content as the US pressing. The DVD is Region 2/NTSC and includes the bonus tracks 'Little Queen Of Spades', 'Traveling Riverside Blues' & behind-the scenes footage. Packaged in a digi-pak with a bonus English and Japanese booklet. *Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view. Warner. 2005.
