Old Sock
March 2013 - Editorial Reviews
On the heels of a sold-out Crossroads Guitar Festival and the announcement of a major world tour, Eric Clapton announced the release of his 21st studio album and his first album since 2010. The album, Old Sock produced by Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II, Justin Stanley and Simon
Climie, features two original songs "Every Little Thing" and "Gotta Get Over. " Old Sock is released on Clapton s Bushbranch label, distributed through a collaboration with Surfdog Records in the USA and Canada.
The album is a collection of some of Clapton s favorite songs spanning from his childhood to present day that highlights his vast appreciation and knowledge of music. From Leadbelly to
J.J. Cale; Peter Tosh to George Gershwin; Hank Snow to Gary Moore and Taj
Mahal, this record is a celebration of so many who have inspired Clapton s rich musical life. Clapton has always had a remarkable ability to recognize great songs and a gift for knowing how to uniquely interpret them, as he does on Old Sock. The album explores romantic standards of the 30's, reggae, soul, rock, and includes a stand out playful collaboration with Paul McCartney, to create an experience that is quintessential Clapton.
Clapton assembled a band for the recordings consisting of longtime collaborators Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass) and Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with some surprise guest additions. JJ Cale joins the song "Angel" for backing vocals and guitar, Chaka Khan joins as backing vocalist for "Get On Over, " Steve Winwood on the Hammond B3 Organ on "Still Got The Blues, " Paul McCartney on bass/vocals on "All of Me, " Jim Keltner on drums for "Our Love is Here To Stay.

Product Description
Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett assembled an all-star group
of “friends” in 1969 for a weeklong tour of England,
a legendary excursion that would produce On Tour With
Eric Clapton, one of rock’s most powerful and enduring
live albums. Clocking in at a mere 40 minutes, the
original left fans wanting more for decades. THE WAIT IS
OVER - Rhino Handmade delivers with a four-disc deluxe
reissue expanded with more than three hours of
unreleased roof-raising, hickory-smoked rock ’n’
soul.
The set, which comes packaged in a mock road case,
contains Delaney & Bonnie & Friends’ complete
performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, plus a
composite of the next night’s performances at Colston
Hall in Bristol, and both the early and late shows from
the tour’s final stop at Fairfield Halls in Croydon.
Along with the Bramletts, the touring band showcased on
these discs includes guitarists Eric Clapton and Dave
Mason, bassist Carl Radle, drummer Jim Gordon, organist
Bobby Whitlock, Jim Price and Bobby Keys on horns,
percussionist Tex Johnson, and singer Rita Coolidge.
Along with unreleased versions of all the songs from the
original, this reissue also contains several songs not
featured on the 1970 album, including “I Don’t Know
Why” a track the Bramletts penned with Clapton; “My
Baby Specializes” and “Everybody Loves A Winner”
from the Bramlett’s debut Home; “Get Ourselves
Together” from the couple’s 1969 follow-up Accept No
Substitute; the traditional “Will The Circle Be
Unbroken”; a cover of Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme
Some Lovin’”; and the instrumental “Pigmy.”
Glyn Johns, who recorded the Colston Hall gig, revisits
his experience in the collection’s detailed liner
notes: “There is no question that they had an immense
effect on popular music, mostly by influencing some of
the most successful musicians of the day. The
outstanding memory for me is the sound they created.
Being an engineer, it had a huge influence on me—this,
coupled with the complexity of the rhythm section and
the ease with which they performed. Us Brits had never
heard anything so fluid.” |

Product Description
Co-produced by guitarist and long-time collaborator Doyle Bramhall II, ‘Clapton’ features an all star cast of musical collaborations started with the legendary JJ Cale, drummer Jim Keltner, bassist Willie Weeks, and keyboardist Walt Richmond - and the sessions later added guests including Steve Winwood, Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint, and Derek Trucks. Clapton created a collection that touches on everything from century-old traditional brass bands to little-known country blues to brand-new originals. The result is both relaxed and revelatory, and unlike anything the guitarist has done in his legendary career.
‘This album wasn't what it was intended to be at all,’ says Eric Clapton. ‘It's actually better than it was meant to be because, in a way, I just let it happen. It's an eclectic collection of songs that weren't really on the map - and I like it so much because if it's a surprise to the fans, that's only because it's a surprise to me, as well.’ |

Description
For years it had been a dream of many Allman Brothers fans, the ultimate best case
scenarion. What if Eric Clapton joined the ABB on stage to play some of the songs that Duane Allman played on Layla? With Derek Trucks recently touring with Clapton, and this year's Beacon run being dedicated to Duane, the buzz was even stronger than usual this year.
Well, it is no longer just a fantasy, it really happened, and the results are beyond your wildest dreams! Speaking of which, besides the Layla material, check out EC on "Dreams"! The highlight of the whole Beacon run might be this version of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" with Derek and Eric pushing each other into the stratosphere during the outro jam. Every bit as good as it sounds on paper, and so are "Little Wing" and
"Anyday" with Clapton. The "Layla" encore belongs in a category of its own, with some of Derek's most sublime work on slide. A historic night of music for the ages!
And that doesn't even count the fantastic first set, which had a second set feel to it, especially the explosive "Whipping Post" closer. Gregg has never sounded better than he does on these versions of "Statesboro Blues" and "Done Somebody Wrong," and "Revival" keeps evolving into one of the band's best jamming showpieces. Did we mention Gregg's solo take on "Oncoming Traffic" to start the second set, or the blistering "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" with Danny Louis from Govt Mule on keys?
Step right up and get it while it's hot! Every day that goes by without hearing this music is a day you will regret later. |

Description
They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but they're wrong! Many people thought it was virtually impossible for the second ABB show with Eric Clapton to equal the first, but in many ways this show surpasses Thursday's concert. There seems to be no ceiling to what the Allman Brothers Band was capable of in this Beacon run!
Check out the first set, a blockbuster that would be a worthy second set to most shows, complete with a "Mountain Jam" sandwich to open and close the set. "44 Blues" and "Gambler's Roll" provide some deep blues, and the end sequence of "Ain't Wastin' Time No More>Mountain Jam Reprise" is just as good as it sounds. Oteil's solo bass version of "Little Martha" adds a different twist to the Duane Allman classic, which had been played as a duet by Warren and Derek earlier in the run.
The second set is Clapton time, and Slowhand seems relaxed, comfortable and ready to jam. The Derek and the Dominoes classics sound just as good, if not better, than Thursday, but there are a few surprises in store. This performance of "Stormy Monday" might be the best ever, from Gegg's passionate vocals to the blues guitar master class being put on by Derek, Eric and Warren. Clapton soars even higher on this version of "Dreams" than he did on Thursday, and his jazzy explorations on "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" show Slowhand venturing far from his blues-rock comfort zone and proving that he still has his mojo. This "Layla" encore may be even more emotional and powerful than the one from the previous show, if that's possible.
Another historic must-have show! |

musicians were making it just for themselves, without regard to what
other people would think of it." -- Eric Clapton - Review

Overview
Eric
Clapton is a legendary musician. He is not only a master guitar player,
but his songwriting is outstanding; it is rare to excel so highly in
both realms. Certain phases of his career often leaned further
towards showcasing guitar playing while others favored songwriting;
perhaps his album Slowhand has the optimal balance between
the two styles. Additionally, Eric Clapton’s music shifted between
blues and pop, and his release of Unplugged was a superb
balance of combining these two realms.
With
such a long and distinguished career Eric Clapton’s sound took on
many phases through his many early bands and distinguished solo
career. With such an abundant of phases to Eric Clapton’s
music it is expected that there are some periods that are better
than others. We have
sifted through his career and will summarize what we feel is his best
work. The links below will bring you to our album reviews.
