| | Eric Clapton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Eric Clapton is credited on Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms album, as he loaned Mark Knopfler one of his guitars for the album. | | | Clapton did not publicly acknowledge his daughter's existence for several years (she eventually made a spoken-word appearance on his 1998 album Pilgrim and in 2001 was pictured in the Reptile album artwork). | | | With this band Clapton recorded 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974), an album with the emphasis on songs rather than musicianship; the cover-version of "I Shot The Sheriff" was a major hit and was important in bringing reggae and the music of Bob Marley to a wider audience. |

| | ERIC CLAPTON AND THE CROSSROADS CURSE |
| | Eric played the song on MTV's Unplugged and a recording of this show was subsequently released as an album. | | | Clapton's guitar was purchased by billionaire Paul Allen and is currently displayed at the Experience Music Project museum in Seattle, WA. | | | Clapton once declared; "Robert Johnson to me is the most important blues musician who ever lived." Judging by this unabashed admiration, it is therefore hardly surprising that Clapton chose to record "Crossroads", as well as several other songs by Johnson. |

| | Eric Clapton Album Reviews |
| | Not totally, as Clapton’s crafty songwriting is also worth a mention (he did have nine years to stockpile songs, after all), and the female backup singers that appear throughout the album are a plus as well. | | | Really, that was the whole point of this album, as Eric’s record company wanted to prove to the public that Clapton could still play the guitar hero role after the more song oriented nature of his last two solo albums. | | | Clapton also picked excellent sidemen (and longtime associates) such as drummer Jim Keltner, keyboardist Chris Stainton (who shines throughout the album), guitarist Andy Fairweather Low, and harp player Jerry Portnoy (the album's most prominent sideman along with Stainton), thereby ensuring that all of the performances are typically classy and tasteful. |

| | Clapton was trying to be a little more gritty this time around by throwing in more heavy blues numbers like the nearly eight-minute "Early In The Morning" (the original LP release featured an edited version of the song). | | | Clapton rose to the challenge, and the result is a phenomenal duel on one song after another. | | | Eric does prove himself to be an unsurpassed master here, both on the guitar and on the vocals. |

| | Clapton provided the solo for that song and a great solo it was. | | | Listen to this album, and you'll be befuddled as to why Clapton is considered an esteemed guitar 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. |

| | Clapton explains that he was first exposed to the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers in April, 1974, by noted Florida session guitarist George Terry, who played Clapton the Burnin' album during recording for Eric's "461 Ocean Boulevard" at Miami's Criteria Studios. | | | The seven-minute live version of "I Shot the Sheriff" included on Clapton's 1988 "Crossroads" anthology, taped during a 1974 show at London's Hammersmith Odeon, documents its crowd-pleasing potency, as well as the bond Marley's music could forge between a musician and an audience. | | | But I could see he was getting into the beat, the soul, and Marley's great lyrics. |

| | Eric Clapton: Reptile - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Not that the latest album is a relentlessly upbeat affair -- the songs, rich in variety, sourced from Clapton's own pen and a string of established composers, are frequently run through with an air of the nostalgic. | | | The title track, a highly engaging instrumental, is a warm, sepia-tinged cameo -- bright, breezy, Clapton's jazzy picking crisp and light, yet touched with more than a grain of memory. | | | Elsewhere, Clapton runs through his blues changes more perfunctorily -- the twelve bar stodge of "Got You on My Mind", the gospel blues of Ray Charles' "Come Back Baby", the rolling Southern boogie of J.J. Cale's "Travelin' Light", leavened somewhat by the vocal backing of the Impressions. |
