Eric Clapton - From The Cradle (CD 2000)

In which our hero rediscovers his roots again !!. Over 16 tracks Clapton finally puts to bed his miserable 80s period when all too often his playing was more a question of what he could get away with NOT doing. Eric’s love for the blues shines through this “live in the studio” album. With the possible exception of “Hoochie Coochie Man” (and, let’s face it, when faced with Muddy Waters version of that everything else is going to sound a bit “thin” ) this is an album that shows exactly why Eric was once called “God”
