ERIC CLAPTON "complete clapton" 2007, cd. #2 uk #14 us #43 au
disc 2.
I LIKE THIS DISC
the second disc of a twin set of EC best known songs, this one encapsulates the the mid 1980's to the 00's,
not as good as the first disc but how many artists are at the top of their game in their fourth and fifth decades in the music business, still there are a lot of good to great songs here...off the heroin and the booze and more mellow in comparrison the other disc, strangely enough EC collected sixteen of his seventeen Grammy's after 1990, why is it that these 'old guys' didnt get Grammy's in the '70s, Neil Young, Dylan, McCartney to name a few????
i love the acoustic "layla" on this one, sort of the first EC track that made my ears prick up, along with the VHS "unlugged video.
also i have known people my age that have lost children to accidents...drownings and SIDS, and they have told me that "tears in heaven" sums up in words and music exactly what they have and continually feel about the loss of a child, so i guess EC,after the loss of his son in a terrible accident really let his emotion flow through his music and i can feel the pain of loss to an extent, but thankfully i will never feel that pain fully.
track 14 is a duet with B.B King,track 17 is with J.JCale,thought these would have made the like mark but they dont sadly.
still, this is a great set of songs to trace the career of EC,thus making it easy do decide which part you can pursue further, for me, it is the mid 1970s.
