About
Upon leaving the often rough and tumble sound of Cream, Eric Clapton embraced a more laid-back style encompassing elements of soul, acoustic blues and country music. Though he might still conjure emotionally wracked moments — think <i>Layla</i> — Clapton’s self-titled solo debut set the template for much of his future work. Though reveling in the sheer musicality of the R&B-drenched Delaney and Bonnie band, which provided much of its backing group, <i>Eric Clapton</i>’s quiet also tapped into the guitarist’s pain and yearning. (Play the lovely “Let It Rain” the next time <i>you’re</i> in a restless mood.) Surely his command of the music, though, lent some comfort. That feeling shines through the party-every-day “Bottle of Red Wine,” the updated old-timey statement of “Lovin’ You Lovin’ Me” and the “Foxey Lady”-gone-mellow “Bad Boy.”
