Slowhand by Eric Clapton
So when I saw it as a CD I had to have it. This was one of my favorite albums in the 70's. I enjoy listening to it in my car. Makes me in my twenties again. Love it now just as much as I did then. .


Slowhand?
Slowhand's work. One of the most beautiful collections of Mr. Digitaly remastered, but still has this special kind of "vintage" sound. . . In one word: Beautiful.


SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!
Often Clapton's recordings suffer from a lack of consistency and a shortage of good material. This was Eric Clapton's most popular recording and with good reason. On "Slowhand" the filler, although it still exists, is kept to a minimum making it one of Clapton's best records.

Classic Clapton originals like "Wonderful Tonight", "Lay Down Sally", the instrumental "Peaches and Diesel" and the 8 1/2 minute "The Core" lie alongside some classic covers like the JJ Cale penned "Cocaine", the melodic "May You Never" and the blues romp of Arthur Crudup's "Mean Old Frisco".

If you're new to Clapton and looking for a starting point for his solo material, "Slowhand" or "461 Ocean Boulevard" are the places to start. .


Clapton got the right address
And I can't say I am a fan of the numerous recent blues tribute albums he has put out lately. I have to confess that, while I love Clapton, his albums are often a hit-and-miss affair. For me I enjoy his work with Cream, his guest work, his first few albums, the one he recorded with The Band, a few older live albums, and bits of the Phil Collins-produced record in the early 80s. After that it's a fall-off, but I am thankful for all the great music he has turned out over the years. this cd is a must and quality sound is perfect.

Eric Clapton is what he is
Eric Clapton is one of those artists. There are artists who simply are the genre. In other venues I have read some pretty stinging comments about him, his morality, his abilities and so on. Frankly, I think there is no finer blues rocker alive or dead.

This album illustrates what a virtuoso is. He carries it all the way from We're Going Wrong on Disraeli Gears to We're All The Way to Steady Rollin' Man.

This fella does the Blues. Others do too but Eric Clapton DOES THE BLUES and Slowhand is one of his best.
