Product Description

Clapton caught the "unplugged" trend just at the right time, when the public was hungry to hear how well rock stars and their material could hold up when stripped of elaborate production values. Clapton himself seemed baffled by the phenomenon, especially when picking up the armload of Grammys Unplugged earned him, including Record and Song of the Year for "Tears in Heaven", the heart-rending elegy to his young son, Conor. That song and a reworked version of "Layla" got most of the attention, but the rest of the album has fine versions of acoustic blues numbers such as "Malted Milk", "Rollin' & Tumblin' and "Before You Accuse Me" that make it worth investigating further. --Daniel Durchholz

Everyone knows Eric Clapton can play the blues, but until this album, few believed he really understood the genre. Here, Clapton pulled together a set of covers and originals, which re-established him as the premier guitarist of his generation, particularly on the openers, Signe and Before You Accuse Me. The set also shows him at his most relaxed and confident, (Layla) and laying bare his demons (Tears In Heaven).

this album is a must have for any rock or blues fan. The versatility of guitaring shown by Clapton - nylon fingerplucking, steel, resonator, slide, (all finger and plectrum) you name it he did it in this performance. The solos are perfect, the music is sensational and simply THE best unplugged performance that MTV have had. You can never get bored of this album as there are too many great songs on this, MTV can release this album as their "greatest ever MTV Unplugged Performances" as a seperate volume.

The informative Paul Gambaccinni recently hosted a radio 4 slot titled 'For one night only' which featured this album. As I had not picked up on Eric Clapton at the height of his fame this programme intrigued me enough to want to tune in. I have never been a fan of the rock version of Layla and maybe this was why I have never explored the work of this artist. This recording of a live session is mellow, slightly country and very heartfelt. I love it! and the acoustic version of Layla would maybe now find a place on my desert island playlist. May now need to look more closely at the back catalogue.

The title says it all. Clapton is not only a sensitive artist, but the supreme exponent of blues guitar. A joy to play.
