vaike Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Eric Clapton ? Blues (Bonus Disc Edition) (1999) FLAC Audio CD (July 27, 1999) | EAC Rip | Flac(Image - Cue - Log) | Covers | 2 CD | 914 MB Genre: Rock, Blues | Label: Polydor / Pgd Amazon.com 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 Tracklist Disc One (Studio Blues) 1 Before You Accuse Me (Take A Look At Yourself) version 1 4:39 2 Mean Old World 3:50 3 Ain?t That Lovin?
