Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
If this is your first exposure to Eric Clapton, a bit of bewilderment would be in order. This is the legendary guitar icon. This is (as his early apostles once proclaimed) God. Ranging from the mid-80s through to the late 90s, The Clapton Chronicles owes less to the groundbreaking blues-rock of Clapton's 60s and 70s classics than to the polished-to-a-glare pop of Phil Collins, who produced one of the tracks included in this 14-song anthology. His reinterpretation of his greatest recording--the once-gripping, now-placid "Layla"--perhaps best illustrates Clapton at middle-age: Who wants to bask in his darkest period? Not Clapton, who converts his surging, purging charge into a soothing stroll. And perhaps not fans of such docile MOR fare as "My Father's Eyes", "Tears in Heaven" and the two new tracks, "Blue Eyes Blue" and "Get Lost". --Steven Stolder
Customer Reviews
Not so much soft as flaccid
If this was the best of Clapton then there would be none of his albums in my collection. No surprise to see Phil Collins was involved, this is Clapton sans fire, sans soul, sans almost everything. Despite his inconsistent output he has produced some magical albums from Mayall onwards, be picky there are much much better albums than this MOR, corporate moneygrabber.
Slower Hand
This is a fairly tired album from the blues master; the songs are mush and a bit depressing; hope he never returns to the same ways again
Mature Clapton at his best
For anyone who enjoys this type of soft....hard rock/blues this must be one of the best Albums ever, especially the unplugged/live version of Layla. The rest of the tracks are just great. One addition could have been an unpugged version of Lay Down Sally
