[Slowhand] Slowhand Digest, Vol 19, Issue 26

[Jeff Elliott]

Still lurking as well and also wondering what is in store for us in regards to Eric's latest efforts in the studio.  It's too late for this next album (one would surmise based on the limited press) but I'd be fascinated to hear a pairing of Eric with producer T-Bone Burnett.  I'd think we'd receive some gritty, low-down, folksy blues stomps that would rock.  How great would that be?

Cheers,

Jeff
