[Slowhand] Old Sock - Utter Crap

[Alexandre DE MAGALHAES GARCIA]

Sadly, Kevin is absolutely right.

I was a bit disappointed by the previous album, but this one is utterly
unworthy of Mr Clapton talent.

New tracks are boring, covers are amusing at best, amateurish at worst with
flat and unsurprising solos.

I sincerely hope that he will put way more energy and commitment in his
next world tour.
