The Cream of Eric Clapton still manages to raise its head as
Slowhand's definitive greatest-hits package, despite umpteen albums and
an armful of Grammys since its release in 1987. Opening with one of the
most famous rock intros ever, "Layla" has been the envy of bedroom
guitarists for the last... |

Happy birthday dear Dangermash
Just got this for my 40th birthday. Happy birthday to me. Hurrah!
I'd had it sitting on the wish list for a few months because I liked
the first track (On the Road again) and the various Best Ofs on
amazon.com were getting good reviews. Maybe there was a bit of me
expecting to be disappointed. But I... |

Eric Clapton is usually thought of as Mayall's most important right-hand

future Fleetwood Mac founder leaves a strong stamp on his only album
with the Bluesbreakers, singing a few tracks and writing a couple,

One of the best live album
This is a classic CD. It was recorded in the late 70s when Clapton was
on his highest status as both a legendary guitarist and singer. Most of
the songs on this album are eight minutes long and half of each songs
are Clapton's solos. If you are acquainted with Clapton's music then you

The full-tilt blues album that Clapton had been promising for years,
From the Cradle proves the guitarist's enduring devotion to a form
he had long relegated to merely a flavour in his music rather than the
main ingredient. Clapton's singing on the album is somewhat mannered; he

Clapton had already established himself as a guitar legend by the time

The Jimi Hendrix Experience only recorded for the BBC over a two-year

like their on-air appearances were a constant struggle between what the
Beeb wanted--for them to play their songs and be done--and what Jimi

Electric Mud is the infamous
"somebody-put-something-in-the-Waters" LP from 1968. A relative hit for
Chess, it features the exalted bluesman bellowing over psychedelicised
arrangements that owe more to Steppenwolf than Willie Dixon. Waters
himself complained that the drums were too busy and the lead... |

Absolutely Fantastic - Rory at his best
I was thrilled to listen to this, what I consider the best recording
Rory ever made. Fantastic tracks of this great Irish Blues/Rock star. I
had missed this from my vinyl collection from the 70's, so now can
relive the time all over again. Buy this, you will not regret it.

'Diamonds on the Inside' is an album worth having. Ben Harper starts
well with some great riffs, lyrics, singing and solid slide guitar in
tracks such as; 'With My Own Two Hands', 'When It's Good' and 'Bring The
Funk'. The bulk of this album is foot-tapping, head-nodding,

The Blind Boys of Alabama are one of the longest-running popular music

Though this is not the most recent Ray Charles box set collection, it

For committed fans of Jimmy Page's guitar playing, this album is a treat

In Step embraces blues and rock without compromising the primal
