Eric Clapton - Unplugged description This laid-back, live, intimate session featuring Eric Clapton's bluesy guitar playing is quite enjoyable--if a bit limited in scope. With little lighting and frills and a small group backing him up, Clapton picks up his acoustic guitar and leads the listener down memory lane. Clapton is clearly on his best behavior as he engages in minimal small talk with his audience and lets the music speak for itself. The erstwhile Yardbird and former member of Cream and Blind Faith riffs through some dozen-plus songs including "Before You Accuse Me," "Tears in Heaven," "Walkin' Blues," "Alberta," "San Francisco Bay Blues" (in which Clapton thankfully cuts loose a bit), and his great hits "Layla" (written for his ex-wife, Patti Boyd Harrison) and "Old Love," a standard that garnered big applause. But the simple set and sparse stage can barely contain the energy that fills the arena when Clapton launches into "Rollin' and Tumblin'," a raucous, rousing bit of blues that Clapton is certainly still up for. This video is primarily for Clapton's most ardent fans, providing some heartfelt, soulful instrumental prowess in addition to an aging British rocker singing the blues as well as a white guy can. --Paula Nechak |

| "Live album by Eric Clapton
Released August 18, 1992, recorded January 16, 1992 length 61:43 Label Reprise, Producer Russ Titelman Unplugged is an album by Eric Clapton released in 1992. It was recorded live at Bray Studios in London for the MTV Unplugged series. The album includes an acoustic version of the hit single "Tears in Heaven" and a heavily reworked acoustic version of "Layla". Clapton earned three Grammy Awards for the album: Album of the Year, Rock Male Vocal and Best Rock Song; besides another three for the record and song "Tears in Heaven". Clapton performed the show in front of a small audience on January 16, 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. In 2000 Q magazine placed Clapton's Unplugged at number 71 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever." The above from Wikipedia is interesting from a background point of view. But it doesn't really touch on how great this CD is. I've had this CD for a while now and it is one of my favorites. It is the CD that I always take to check out new equipment. I am one of those idiots that is on the never ending quest for the best,(that I can afford) Stereo equipment. This is a well recorded and excellently performed piece of music. Mr. Clapton is at his best. Layla and Tears are probably the best known songs, but every single song on the CD is a gem. Not to many CD's that I own would I say that about. If you don't have it buy it. If you have it listen to it. Truly great music. |
