    I like it! I think pretty much no matter what clapton does I'll like it though, love his voice!
    But even apart from that, it's a great song. It reminds me of something at the start though, I can't think of it yet.....

    I am not nuts about him these days but he was at his peak around 35 years ago. Give me some credit. When he was with CREAM (late 60s) someone wrote on a wall near a gig: "Clapton is God" and that seemed to sum up his position in the musical scheme of things then. He was inventive and skilled and Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker played like loonies behind him. Since then he has battled several serious addictions and the accidental death of his 5 year old son. I think he is doing pretty good if he can still get audiences and folks still buy his CDs.

    I have to say, I don't know as much about him as some do... but I wouldn't have ever thought of him as being overrated. If anything, he's rather underrated as guitarists go. My partner is a rather excellent guitarist and as such has a large collection of guitar music and he got this album recently of Clapton playing jazz standards, his own arrangements... I have to say it's some of the best jazz I've listened to in a long time.....

    :D you guys are insane. Clapton is the best electric guitarist in the world bar none. Just to see him pick up a guitar on stage sends a shiver of excitment down my spine. See his fantastic "Crossroads " dvd when he outplayed all of the American hot shots.

    He is a GREAT guitarist, no question....it's just that, for me, I don't get that shiver that I get from the likes of Jimi & SRV, certainly from his latter stuff. My loss admittedly :(

    Ah someone who has heard of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker! Yes they were some of the best Blues players that ever lived.One of the Best Bands of that era was "The Graham Bond Organisation".They played regularly at "The Marquee" in Wardour St.

    Either Bruce or Baker (or both maybe) said jokingly that Cream was really a jazz band but they never told Eric. They were all of them very fancy musicians.
    Bruce has done lots of interesting stuff over the years.

    Eric was wonderful with Cream but I am not nuts about his more balladic stuff
    since them.
