Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

If this is your first exposure to Eric Clapton, a bit of bewilderment would be in order. This is the legendary guitar icon. This is (as his early apostles once proclaimed) God. Ranging from the mid-80s through to the late 90s, The Clapton Chronicles owes less to the groundbreaking blues-rock of Clapton's 60s and 70s classics than to the polished-to-a-glare pop of Phil Collins, who produced one of the tracks included in this 14-song anthology. His reinterpretation of his greatest recording--the once-gripping, now-placid "Layla"--perhaps best illustrates Clapton at middle-age: Who wants to bask in his darkest period? Not Clapton, who converts his surging, purging charge into a soothing stroll. And perhaps not fans of such docile MOR fare as "My Father's Eyes", "Tears in Heaven" and the two new tracks, "Blue Eyes Blue" and "Get Lost". --Steven Stolder

5.0 out of 5 stars Eric Clapton has slowed down. 15 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
Once a master of blues guitar rock, in the last twenty years Eric Clapton has turned his talents to pop-rock. Chronicles is the definitive introduction to pop-rock Clapton. It is an excellent introduction to Clapton's recent music. The guitar playing is all over the album and is good but not the dazzling stuff of his early years that became the stuff of legend. Highlights of this CD include the beautiful, acoustically based Tears in Heaven, the live, acoustic reworking of Layla and the live version of Wonderful Tonight. Those listeners who want to know why Clapton is regarded as a guitar legend and would like to hear his work before he became Chris De Burgh's older brother of this CD, should buy Derek and the Dominoes' Layla.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! 5 July 2000
Format:Audio CD
Five stars isn't enough. We have a massive collection of cd's of many various artists. This is the best ever. EVERY track is superb. You don't have to be a staunch Eric Clapton fan to appreciate the quality, we have had many customers to our restaurant hear it as background music and ask what it is & where to buy etc. River of tears & My fathers eyes are superb tracks. Truly a genious at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clapton at his best. A great slice of his history including Cream
Clapton at his best
No backtracking covers a good slice of Claptons tracks. The period of 1967 with cream is included which was one of his best creative periods

3.0 out of 5 stars Certainly not chronic
This collection of Clapton tunes if from his recent period and although it features a few classics they are 'newer' versions. All very good, particularly if you are a fan. Read more

I love this album. Not Clapton unplugged, but Clapton alone singing some of his favourite music. It's fairly easy listening, but includes many well known songs. Read more

This is a fairly tired album from the blues master; the songs are mush and a bit depressing; hope he never returns to the same ways again
