“As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.
July of 1970 legions of E.C. fans were assembled in the local record shop to procure Clapton's first solo recording. As the rumors became reality that it wouldn't be Cream or Blind Faith revisited, there were millions of ears that needed to encompass the material.
One look at the writing credits on the original disc show E.C. was responsible for at least part if not all of 10 of the 11 tracks. The exception being J.J. Cale's "After Midnight." If the critics had a red pen they were sorely disappointed that it wouldn't be leaving their hands. "Slunky" throws the kitchen sink at you. A bit of everything with horns included. Clapton is relaxed but in focus. "Lonesome And A Long Way From Home" with friends Bonnie Bramlett and Delaney Bramlett (E.C. had toured with them) either sublimely or on the surface (Take your pick) talks about being alone for the first time. Gone are the Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers, Cream, and Blind Faith! "After Midnight" would become an Album Rock staple for decades. Clapton vocals sound superlative and the arrangement properly showcases the musicians without overkill. The first time you absorb the wonder of "Easy Now" it dawns on you that Clapton has never gotten enough accolades for his singing. "Blues Power" lets the six string shine and with perfect construction has seen many Clapton fans proudly place this in their Top 10 solo E.C. tunes. The longest song on the record clocking in at 5:02 also finishes the festivities. "Let It Rain" is so well crafted that any artist on any record could be proud to see inclusion.
If one of the truly great solo recordings needed one more attribute (It doesn't but we welcome gifts) the remaster includes both the originally released Tom Dowd mix and the Bramlett mix with some bonus tracks. One in particular will blow you away. "She Rides" is "Let It Rain" with different words and wouldn't tarnish the original LP if it showed up in this form!”
