[Slowhand] Clapton needs a rocker album

[David Fynan]

For years Clapton has downplayed his guitar playing, and has admitted  
as much.  He'll bring the goods live at times, but on albums, not so  
much.  It seems to be pretty much secondary to him now.   He seems  
almost embarrassed that he's a great guitarist.  While a jam album  
would be neat, I say fat chance of that ever happening.  If you don't  
already have it, though, the Layla box set has a bunch of longs jams  
on it.
