About
A reunion of the band, the producer, and the Miami studio that made <i>461 Ocean Boulevard</i> a smashing success, <i>There’s One in Every Crowd</i> was missing just one ingredient: a breakout hit on par with “I Shot the Sheriff.” Clapton followed up the unexpected success of his reggae venture with a gentle interpretation of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and the brooding “Don’t Blame Me,” both of which were recorded in Kingston and evoke the city’s tense, smoky, and humid atmosphere. During recording in Miami, Clapton was ensconced in alcohol and marijuana and uncertain of what next to do with his talent. While it didn't produce a hit single, <i>There’s One in Every Crowd</i> captured something that's arguably more interesting. “Little Rachel,” “The Sky Is Crying," and “Pretty Blue Eyes” epitomize a state of mind at once gorgeous and adrift, hushed and despondent, warm and fatigued. The album’s highlight is “Better Make It Through Today,” a languid blues-soul ballad that beckons to the narcotic haze from which Clapton had only recently emerged.
