Format:Audio CD
`Journeyman' is one of the albums that started my love affair with all things Clapton and it still has a special place in my heart. It has a great mix of rock and blues on it and shows Clapton when he is playing on all cylinders. The album opener `Pretending' still manages to raise a smile on my face even though I played this album to death on cassette and later on CD and `Bad Love' still sounds as powerful now as when I first heard it. Apparently when Clapton played the original mix of this album to record execs they said it was good but could he go off and write another `Layla', Clapton went away and `Bad Love' was his answer. And what a powerful answer it is, with a strong riff and great lyrics. There is also a duet with Robert Cray called `Old Love' and in my opinion this is one of the best blues tracks Clapton has ever written and I still get goosebumps when the chorus plays. This is the album where Clapton moved away from his synth heavy eighties sound and back towards the blues he is revered for and this album is the perfect blend of the two styles and if you are a fan of either styles of music you will be well catered for here. There isn't a bad track on this album and I can still happily listen to this from start to finish despite having heard it hundreds of times and if you enjoy this then I can only recommend `Unplugged' which was the natural progression from this album and features many of the songs here in an acoustic format. This is required listening and essential for your Clapton collection.

Having previously owned this album on cassette and sold it on, I missed it and rebought it on CD. I am now enjoying it more than ever. Some outstanding tracks - Pretending, Bad Love, Hound Dog, No Alibis & Before you Accuse Me. The rest are merely very good!

This is the album that brought me, and many others I suspect, back to listening to Eric, and is a great collection of songs, some of which are outstanding. It was a restart to his career, and should be in anyone's collection of grat EC albums.

A real classic
It was so good to hear this album which I had played to death on vinyl and after about 7 years of not hearing it I was so pleased that it had lost nothing of it's original appeal. Read more

Anything For Your Love but Nothing Much
A pleasant album to listen to. Nothing pretentious except 'Hound Dog' which seems more of a karaoke track than a Clapton classic. Read more

A good offering from Eric Clapton
This is a good offering from Eric Clapton and his band. EC's voice just gets better and better, and on this album his guitar playing is more prominent than on recent albums. Read more
