Hello friends,Just a few words here on this slowed down list on that new album cover. I had heard the rumors, or read them rather, about a possible double studio album from Eric. Sounded very promising. Very. Maybe some real music again, finally? He got rid of the ProTools which took all the soul out of all the latest records, the Simon Climie thing? JJ Cale in the studio too? Exciting, you keep hoping he will just get off his ass just one day and make music again. Not all this elevator music that he's been putting us through (at least following Riding With The King), I guess since Change The World. I even think the mid 80s albums can be regarded as recorded music, not retired nanny productions and plastic toy songs ruined by Cliff Richard smoothness. He's got this incredible voice and some talent on the guitar, that once they put a Gibson guitar in his hands (like the '96 Dr John St James Infirmary thing) he doesn't sound like Julio Iglesias on the light blue grocery store shopping music.
This cover they made for this new album, oh my god. There's nothing left. Bad taste, bad style, creativity dried up, more commercial than For Your Love ever was, 10cc type cover that probably resembles the "music" they killed in the plastic machine. This is an insult. I feel insulted, Mr Clapton. Enough is enough. Cocaine-Wonderful Tonight-Cocaine
Thank you for a good time, guys, especially during the lively years of late 90s and early 00's.
Brian.
And for the encore: Cocaine-Wonderful Tonight-Crossroads...
