Hey there, watch this brilliant acoustic cover of Eric Clapton’s- Layla, with an awesome bass line. youtube.com/watch?v=Fcd5jEUvLZs. Thanks leave a comment.
@FreaquedeMusique - the guy with the 335, is an amazing guitar player called warren haynes, he currently plays with the allman brothers and has done for many years, but when he's not doing that, he fronts THE best covers (with a handful of originals thrown in too) band you will ever see called government mule (gov't mule) i recomment checking out an original of theirs call slackjaw jezebel. hope this helps! :D
Duane Allman was actually in Derek and the Dominos. A little pice of info I just found out about within the last year. How the hell did that one get by me? Anyways, that being said, this jam makes sense to me now!!! RIP Duane!
@TheMustangsally75 He was never in Derek and the Dominos. He played as a session player on Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, just like dozens of other albums of other bands. Also performed a couple of times with Derek and the Dominos, but was never part of the band.
@rizwantakkhar derek and the dominos was a one time thing, on the album, its says "bobby whitlock, duane allman, eric clapton, and one other guy whose name i forgot, but it wasnt really a band, they called it derek and the dominos because clapton didnt want it to be called "ERIC CLAPTON and...."
@mcblair96 ...that would've been Jim Gordon on drums and Carl Radle on bass. They were a band and toured the U.S. and U.K. in 1970 as I saw them in the old Jacksonville Coloseum. Rumor had it they were gonna do another tour in 71' but I can't remember why they didn't.....the great Duane Allman died later that year.
@55slice They actually had recorded a few tracks for a second album. In fact, a lot of them were on the Crossroads box set. Unfortunately, that was when Clapton's heroin addiction was at its worst and he rarely, if ever left his house because he was so addicted. Clapton's only major appearance in '71 was at the Concert for Bangladesh and even then everyone was shocked by how bad he looked.
I see. I actually saw somewhere, as him being listed as one of the members of the group. That being said, he was definetly a welcome addition to the band, for whataver length of time it was. Rock On!!!

I also read somewhere, that he had gained quite a reputation as a session guitarist with such notables as Wilson Picket & Aretha Franklin. Man, that dude was all over the place.

Yes I remember it well. She said something like "I'm a big Eric Clapner fan" or something like that, just lying her ass off like a typical politician. I laughed my ass off.
@iYoko777 If it is then he named his daughter after the song. The lyrics weren't written by Clapton, nor was the main guitar part. that was written by Duane. And the ballad part was written by his drummer. Eric Clapton wrote a similar guitar part for the main part but Duane spiced it up a bit and Clapton liked it. It's all in his autobiography.
@bejerama Clapton wrote the lyrics. He intended it as a ballad but Duane came up with the riff that he got from a vocal part in some Albert King's song. And Jim Gordon wrote the piano part.
@Solus77 You read his autobiography? I don't like arguing.... But a friend of his gave him this as a poem. I'm aware of everything you said. except Clapton did not in fact write the lyrics. Unless his friend's name was Eric Clapton.
@bejerama I in fact did have a copy of it, but didn't read the part when he was with Derek and the Dominos. Only his early childhood and eary gigs and stints with the Yardbirds. But I do know what I'm talking about, and it's been documented more than once. I can provide sources but you'd be better off looking it up.
@stevedrums I never questioned whether it was a "masterpeice" or not. Stop being such a slave and a snob. It actually had nothing to do with the question. Next time you write or respond to me, do it with a modicum of intelligence. Maybe you should have someone explain what I wrote to you as you obviously have some issues with comprehension. There are courses and therapies for that, you know. You have a good night, too.
@stevedrums Be nice if you would just shut the fuck up while I'm trying to listen to the song you obnoxious cunt. Even in text u are a pompuss ass. If you are playing the drums fine. Collect your money for your mozambeakin but plEASE pretty please with sugar on it. Shut up. Thank you. Non sexual word CUNT= Cannot Understand Normal Thought to me. Say is there a therapy for the shit u got?
@stevedrums Was Louis Armstrong sick of Saints? Is Tony bennett sick of Left My Heart in San Francisco? Does Paul get sick of singing Back in the USSR? Sober the hell up. If you have a classic, what are you supposed to do? Never play it? Get a job.
@slownoman Why are you people so damned hyper-sensitive and nasty? Graham nash was sick of "Our House" after he and Joni Mitchell broke up (1970). Pete Townshend was sick of "My Generation" after 1968. it was a simple question. There are bands and artists that do not perform their "classics" simply because they are tired of them. So stop the phony self-righteousness.
@slownoman There are plenty of artists who get tired of their "classics" and don't play them. It's called integrity to themselves. You don't have to like that as a paying custoemr. And maybe those artists you mentinoed were tired of playing those numbers. They were/are professionals meaning they will play them and smile doing it. Doesn't mean they aren't tired of it.
@lgateszipzip If he had gone to CORSSROADS he would have a hell of a lot more talent and creative ability. I have been through that spot and it is down right freaky. The fields all around are swaying to the breeze and that spot is dead calm. Locals avoid driving through, they will bypass it. Even the farmers with ajoining fields have stopped planting up to the intersection. When I stopped to get gas the station owner was a bit freaked until I said I did not talk to anyone there.
Clapton and the Allman Brothers Band are 2 very good but very different people/groups, neither is 'bad' or 'better' than the other, they're separate styles. Clapton is more blues rock, the Allmans are more folk-rock. you don't see either group having egos, they're all enjoying playing music together, broadening their shows and their experiences, so broaden your mind to other music and you may be in for a wonderful surprise that you actually like it.
I'm 20 years old, obviously never had the pleasure of seeing Duane play, and at 3:38 i still get teary eyed when the slide softly comes in. When Warren gives Greg the cue to come in, you can tell Greg aches to be up their and be an old fart with his brother. rip skydog
well... on the entire derrek and the dominos album duane only played slide on "layla" all the other slide guitar was played by eric clapton. but none the less duane was phenominal. and in this video derrek trucks did a nice job filling in for the slide.
Are you a fan of Eric & Duane ? Do you know the difference ( in sound , even ) between a single coil pickup and a humbucker ?
Can you tell the difference between Duane & Dicky when they play ?
Pop the Layla album on ... the first few tracks Duane is not there at all .. then he enters the sessions from which point believe me he is all over the album .
Its Too Late .. slide .. thats Duane . WDLGTBSS .. solo .. its Duane .. non slide .. open your ears again and revisit ..
@miked627 Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix. A lot of great blues players, but Eric Clapton is like the Slash of blues guitar, everyone knows him, even though he’s far from the far.
It's cool to hear Derek playing Duane's leads on the verse. Clapton's band doesn't do that in their live version. Wish Derek did the solo like Duane on slide as well. Clapton's live solo on this is rather generic and uninspired, imho.
Amen! And just another idea, anyone who takes any of these "greatest guitarists" lists seriously has to remember that it is just another opinion (which, as the famous saying goes, are like assholes-everybody's got one). I think Frank Zappa said something along the lines of how ridiculous any of these lists are, because it is so subjective as to what makes a guitarist great. You either like one, or you don't. Dickey Betts said it more plainly, "Nobody is keeping score."
@universaleffect Fair enough but a lot of others led to Patton. Johnson is the one who really broke all the ground for guitar players in a non traditional style.
You're all wrong. Robert Johnson led to Bo Diddly and Chuck Berry and BB King and the 3 of them are what led all the players mentioned here to pick up a guitar so who gets the credit LOL!
Honestly I'd bet most people first picked up the guitar after hearing Chuck Berry because his music was the most mainstream and popular at the time. During the late 60[s it was probably Clapton, Page in the 70's then EVH and so on.
@dpnosacka .....Uhhhh, sorry.....hate 2 burst your bubble. Derek Trucks actually blows Warren away. I've seen both live a couple of times. Warren mailed it in with his DEAD touring and still does with Government Mule. Trucks plays effortlessly, and has obviously had the Duane Allman torch passed off to him. His slide work is superb, and he lives and breathes the blues.
Just imagine if Duane had been alive all these years ... He made some of the most beautiful and incredible music in such a short lifetime. I'm only 20 and I can only wish that I could of gotten the chance to see him live. I don't think anything would have compared to it. My dad always says that seeing Duane live was like nothing else ... He just had an extreme musical knowledge and the desire to make such powerful music. RIP Duane
That was great! I'm so sorry it got cut off. I'm sorry that some people can't let go of their feelings of the past and tributes and just enjoy the music. I respect the past a great deal but at the end of the day it's about the music that moves us.
@goldtop55 actually, the entire 40th anniversary run was dedicated to Duane and most of the guests were chosen bc of their relation to him back in the day. Each night of the run began with a film showing old footage of Duane with a heartfelt dedication of the entire run to him.... so not to worry goldtop... if you were there, it was quite clear who these shows were for and about.
Clapton has singlehandedly kept Blues relevant since the passing of Stevie Ray Vaughn.
You're part of a small minority that doesn't care for Clapton's playing. Thats fine, to each his own but you damn sure better respect what the man has done for not only the guitar but music in general. Clapton has inspired more people to pick up the guitar then any other guitarist in history. Respect that or keep your ignorant thoughts to yourself!
@redrocker1055 "Clapton has inspired more people to pick up the guitar then any other guitarist in history" I seriously doubt that, in fact ur full of shit. Ur trying to tell me people would pick up a guitar over hearing eric clapton; not say, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Tommy Iommi, the beatles???? I mean ill def give him credit no doubt!!! but for the most part people hear purple haze and some of Jimi's other flamboyant songs and see his showmanship, Claptons better tho!!
@MrGeltabs Hendrix has been dead for 40 years and Page hasn't done shit in 30 years. Millions more people have picked up guitars in the time since then ever did when both were still relevant.
Clapton on the other hand has not only stayed relevant in the 40 years since Hendrix's death he's had his most prolific period... So I'll stand pat with my assessment.
You're "full of shit" if you believe The Beatles and Immoi - really?, inspired more people to pick up the guitar then Clapton.
@MrGeltabs .....Listen to "Blues Power" sometime, LIVE. I'll take that wah-wah rock over Hendrix's wah-wah distortion any day. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Hendrix fan, but you have to admit that he cornered the market on "distortion", which sold on the market as "innovative rock."
@AvirtualSwitzerland I really don't like Jimmi Hendrix that much, I just think he has a very important place in guitar history.... To say "Eric Clapton is the best he has inspired the most" is just a retarded statement from a loser that wants to make arguments on something thats a personal belief. For dumbass (redrocker1055) Eric Clapton was prob his biggest inspiration, for others it could a been john lennon, neil young, pete townsend, or even Jerry Garcia..... personal bias = gay
@MrGeltabs ....I'm a "late blooming" DEADHEAD who saw around 65 shows. I think you know where I'm leaning as far as influence, but good luck for me trying to lead the other sheep to the pasture. Never happen.
@MrGeltabs I picked up a guitar seriously because of six people, and in this order: B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Albert King, Peter Green, and Duane Allman. Because I wanted to be a guitar player, not a freak show. "You wanna play in my band? You better come to pick, not show off your clothes, this ain't no fashion show."---Duane Allman.
@redrocker1055 Absolutely. Clapton was one of Stevie's first influences (along with Albert King & Albert Collins); he's played with every important musician of note since the early 60's. He's influenced generations of guitarists to pick up the instrument; I'm one of them. Not only that, but he's shown a loyalty & affection to the old masters like Robert Johnson; if not for him, we might not have a Warren Haynes, etc. He's the real blues deal; let's treat him as such.
@Deltashawn I said "relevant. " No offense to Mr. Winters or the "countless Blues bands around the world" but for the most part they're irrelevant.
Walk down the street and ask the average person who Johnny Winter,Larry McCray or Keb' Mo' are and for the most part they won't have a clue. I promise you that the vast majority of those people know who Clapton is.
Without Clapton Blues would be forgotten. He's kept Blues relevant enough so that people can eventually discover other artists.
@redrocker1055 You are clueless, go to Beale Street in Memphis and make that claim on blues. Clapton is ttuely a guitar hack. If a list of the top 100 guitar players was made, Eric would fall into the bottom 10. He had promis but turned into a hack.
@Robbob9933 Are you sure thats Beale Street in Memphis and not the land of delusion?
Many guitarist lists have been made. Here's a sample of Claptons placing-
Rolling Stone - 4th
Guitar World - 4th
Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time -4th
Add all that to the fact that he's the only musician inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame three times and I would say it makes you look like a jealous,borderline callus,simpleton who doesn't know who the hell Clapton is!
@redrocker1055 First, Rolling Stone's list is shit becasue Clapton is higher than Stevie Ray Vaughn and Robert Johnson. Clapton did nothing advance the instrument or any music genre. Do Diddley, Mark Knophler, Buddy Guy, Peter Green, Eddy Hazel, Les Paul, Dickey Betts (If Duane is 2 Dickey must be 3), Eddie Van Halen, Johnny Winter, and Lindsey Buckingham (not on list) all are far better that Clapton was at is peak.
@Robbob9933 I agree that the RS list is "shit" WTF is Jack White doing on that list, ahead of EVH no less... But I digress!
But you said "If a list of the top 100 guitar players was made, Eric would fall into the bottom 10" I gave three examples in which he's not. Can you give me 1 in which he's in the bottom 10?
Johnson & SRV are the best... Peroid!
Knophler & Allman are somewhat overrated
Guy & EVH are the only others that are even close to Clapton
@redrocker1055 Two reasons that are linked. Clapton did nothing to advance the instrument nor did he do anything to advance any music genre. Example: Les Paul was one of two independent inventors of the solid body electric guitar. He also pioneered multi-track recording (transforming all genres). Invented the tremelo. And in his 90s was 10+ times the guitarist than Clapton was at his peak. RS is shit for not including anyone from Motown's Funk Brothers.
@Robbob9933 Les Paul was an awesome inventor. But lets keep it real, he wasn't as great on the guitar as people have liked to believe since his death.
Once again-
Eric Clapton has inspired more people to play the guitar then any other guitarist. Ask anyone, anywhere, about Clapton and chances are they know who he is.
"From The Cradle" is the all-time best selling record in the Blues genre. And at a time when Blues was no longer in the mainstream. Clapton made it mainstream again...Period!
@redrocker1055 You got to remember history. The true blues greats did not have the market available to them as Clapton did prior to MTV. Went that far back to remove the advantages of modern technology. Racism and poverty were major factors. Even if you could get heard on the radio, records were very expensive. Distribution was another factor. The largest factor is that the population of the country has more than doubled since the early blues greats.
@redrocker1055 Speaking strictly on "From the Cradle", this is nothing but a cover album, nothing original. IT is a straight cover, not taken and owned as Manferd Manns Earth Band did with Springtein's "Blinded by the LIght", what Santana did with Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman", or what Johnny Cash did with "Hurt". As a straight cover, Clapton is just riding on the coattails of the original artists. The greatness of the ablum does not come from Clapton but those original artists.
@Robbob9933 What coattails? Before he recorded that album the vast majority of people didn't know Eddie Boyd from Leroy Carr. Thanks to Clapton and that album a lot of them do now.
Personally, I wasn't at all interested in the Blues until I herd that album and I know I'm not alone in that.
You can make all the catty remarks you want but the simple truth is Clapton inspires people, whether it's to pickup the instrument or learn a new style... That will ultimately be his lasting legacy!
@Robbob9933 sure, but I am sure that if you listened to From the Cradle you realized that Eric Clapton was showcasing some of his influnces. And probably got them or their estates some money too.
@liberalinthedesertaz Sadly the estates received nothing unless Clapton paid out of his own pocket. It was standard practice up until the mid-1970s for the label to own all the rights as the artists were employees of the label. There were exceptions excetptions, the earlist I know was Buddy Holly. Studios started reasserting this BS in the late 1980s and many of the top artists have minimal ownership at best.
@liberalinthedesertaz Unless you looked at the media notes, you were led to believe that these were Clapton originals. Example, most people think "I shot the Sherriff" is a Clapton song when in fact it is a Bob Marley song. It was over 20 years before Clapton acknowledged this via his mouth. Another fact is he covered this song so fast, only a couple months after release) it stomped Bob Marley off the air.
@Robbob9933 I know that EC and Bob Marley were in the same recording studio at the same time and that he and EC agreed to each cover each others songs. EC did I shot the Sheriff and I don't remember which one Marley did, it wasn't nearly as big a hit as EC's but what does it matter. I already knew this......
@liberalinthedesertaz Clapton and Marley did not record in the same studio and Marley never covered a Clapton song. Marley's songs were all about the Rastafari Movement to one degree or another. This is something that no white person can ever understand or be part of. You know, Afrocentrism and Black Supremacy and all.
@Robbob9933 Les Paul was an awesome inventor. But lets keep it real, he wasn't as great on the guitar as people have liked to believe since his death.
Once again-
Eric Clapton has inspired more people to play the guitar then any other guitarist. Ask anyone, anywhere, about Clapton and chances are they know who he is.
"From The Cradle" is the all-time best selling record in the Blues genre. And at a time when Blues was no longer in the mainstream. Clapton made it mainstream again...Period!
@goldtop55 can we not knock english please. eric clapton is one of my all time favourite players and i am english. Whatt about led zep, jeff beck, brian may. . all these british people revolutionised how we play guitar. not everything comes from Great America you know. We invented your country fool.
@MickHird While I agree with your sentiments about great English guitarists, (you may want to add Alvin Lee, by the way), and I have no wish to knock the English, the English did not invent our country. Men of mostly (but not all) English descent, influenced to be sure by Saxon Law and John Locke, but also influenced by the Frenchman Montesqieu, the Roman philosopher Cicero, and the Bible, created a new form of constitutional government.
@MickHird you have got to be kidding What about BB King one of the best Blue Players around that Clapton has played with and copied. There are so many American Guitarist that have made rock what it is and the British didnt make it till they came over the pond I'm not taking away their talent but when you say that the Britich invent this country and rock music you have to be kidding
@MickHird You invented America? America was invented as a complete rejection of you and your ways, fool. It was literally born in its negation of you. Idiot.
This is the best live version I have heard. It is so beautful.So tastefully played.

@bejerama I in fact did have a copy of it, but didn't read the part when he was with Derek and the Dominos. Only his early childhood and eary gigs and stints with the Yardbirds. But I do know what I'm talking about, and it's been documented more than once. I can provide sources but you'd be better off looking it up.

Clapton and the Allman Brothers Band are 2 very good but very different people/groups, neither is 'bad' or 'better' than the other, they're separate styles. Clapton is more blues rock, the Allmans are more folk-rock. you don't see either group having egos, they're all enjoying playing music together, broadening their shows and their experiences, so broaden your mind to other music and you may be in for a wonderful surprise that you actually like it.

It's cool to hear Derek playing Duane's leads on the verse. Clapton's band doesn't do that in their live version. Wish Derek did the solo like Duane on slide as well. Clapton's live solo on this is rather generic and uninspired, imho.

I think Frank Zappa said something along the lines of how ridiculous any of these lists are, because it is so subjective as to what makes a guitarist great. You either like one, or you don't. Dickey Betts said it more plainly, "Nobody is keeping score."

You're all wrong. Robert Johnson led to Bo Diddly and Chuck Berry and BB King and the 3 of them are what led all the players mentioned here to pick up a guitar so who gets the credit LOL!
Honestly I'd bet most people first picked up the guitar after hearing Chuck Berry because his music was the most mainstream and popular at the time. During the late 60[s it was probably Clapton, Page in the 70's then EVH and so on.

His slide work is superb, and he lives and breathes the blues.

You're part of a small minority that doesn't care for Clapton's playing. Thats fine, to each his own but you damn sure better respect what the man has done for not only the guitar but music in general. Clapton has inspired more people to pick up the guitar then any other guitarist in history. Respect that or keep your ignorant thoughts to yourself!

@redrocker1055 "Clapton has inspired more people to pick up the guitar then any other guitarist in history" I seriously doubt that, in fact ur full of shit. Ur trying to tell me people would pick up a guitar over hearing eric clapton; not say, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Tommy Iommi, the beatles???? I mean ill def give him credit no doubt!!! but for the most part people hear purple haze and some of Jimi's other flamboyant songs and see his showmanship, Claptons better tho!!
MrGeltabs 1 year ago
@MrGeltabs Hendrix has been dead for 40 years and Page hasn't done shit in 30 years. Millions more people have picked up guitars in the time since then ever did when both were still relevant.
Clapton on the other hand has not only stayed relevant in the 40 years since Hendrix's death he's had his most prolific period... So I'll stand pat with my assessment.
You're "full of shit" if you believe The Beatles and Immoi - really?, inspired more people to pick up the guitar then Clapton.
redrocker1055 1 year ago
@MrGeltabs .....Listen to "Blues Power" sometime, LIVE. I'll take that wah-wah rock over Hendrix's wah-wah distortion any day. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Hendrix fan, but you have to admit that he cornered the market on "distortion", which sold on the market as "innovative rock."

@AvirtualSwitzerland I really don't like Jimmi Hendrix that much, I just think he has a very important place in guitar history.... To say "Eric Clapton is the best he has inspired the most" is just a retarded statement from a loser that wants to make arguments on something thats a personal belief. For dumbass (redrocker1055) Eric Clapton was prob his biggest inspiration, for others it could a been john lennon, neil young, pete townsend, or even Jerry Garcia..... personal bias = gay

@MrGeltabs I picked up a guitar seriously because of six people, and in this order: B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Albert King, Peter Green, and Duane Allman. Because I wanted to be a guitar player, not a freak show. "You wanna play in my band? You better come to pick, not show off your clothes, this ain't no fashion show."---Duane Allman.
EasyAce 11 months ago
@redrocker1055 Absolutely. Clapton was one of Stevie's first influences (along with Albert King & Albert Collins); he's played with every important musician of note since the early 60's. He's influenced generations of guitarists to pick up the instrument; I'm one of them. Not only that, but he's shown a loyalty & affection to the old masters like Robert Johnson; if not for him, we might not have a Warren Haynes, etc. He's the real blues deal; let's treat him as such.

Walk down the street and ask the average person who Johnny Winter,Larry McCray or Keb' Mo' are and for the most part they won't have a clue. I promise you that the vast majority of those people know who Clapton is.
Without Clapton Blues would be forgotten. He's kept Blues relevant enough so that people can eventually discover other artists.

@redrocker1055 You are clueless, go to Beale Street in Memphis and make that claim on blues. Clapton is ttuely a guitar hack. If a list of the top 100 guitar players was made, Eric would fall into the bottom 10. He had promis but turned into a hack.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@Robbob9933 Are you sure thats Beale Street in Memphis and not the land of delusion?
Many guitarist lists have been made. Here's a sample of Claptons placing-
Rolling Stone - 4th
Guitar World - 4th
Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time -4th
Add all that to the fact that he's the only musician inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame three times and I would say it makes you look like a jealous,borderline callus,simpleton who doesn't know who the hell Clapton is!
redrocker1055 10 months ago
@redrocker1055 First, Rolling Stone's list is shit becasue Clapton is higher than Stevie Ray Vaughn and Robert Johnson. Clapton did nothing advance the instrument or any music genre. Do Diddley, Mark Knophler, Buddy Guy, Peter Green, Eddy Hazel, Les Paul, Dickey Betts (If Duane is 2 Dickey must be 3), Eddie Van Halen, Johnny Winter, and Lindsey Buckingham (not on list) all are far better that Clapton was at is peak.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@Robbob9933 I agree that the RS list is "shit" WTF is Jack White doing on that list, ahead of EVH no less... But I digress!
But you said "If a list of the top 100 guitar players was made, Eric would fall into the bottom 10" I gave three examples in which he's not. Can you give me 1 in which he's in the bottom 10?
Johnson & SRV are the best... Peroid!
Knophler & Allman are somewhat overrated
Guy & EVH are the only others that are even close to Clapton
Buckingham SUCKS!
redrocker1055 10 months ago
@redrocker1055 Two reasons that are linked. Clapton did nothing to advance the instrument nor did he do anything to advance any music genre. Example: Les Paul was one of two independent inventors of the solid body electric guitar. He also pioneered multi-track recording (transforming all genres). Invented the tremelo. And in his 90s was 10+ times the guitarist than Clapton was at his peak. RS is shit for not including anyone from Motown's Funk Brothers.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@Robbob9933 Les Paul was an awesome inventor. But lets keep it real, he wasn't as great on the guitar as people have liked to believe since his death.
Once again-
Eric Clapton has inspired more people to play the guitar then any other guitarist. Ask anyone, anywhere, about Clapton and chances are they know who he is.
"From The Cradle" is the all-time best selling record in the Blues genre. And at a time when Blues was no longer in the mainstream. Clapton made it mainstream again...Period!
redrocker1055 10 months ago
@redrocker1055 You got to remember history. The true blues greats did not have the market available to them as Clapton did prior to MTV. Went that far back to remove the advantages of modern technology. Racism and poverty were major factors. Even if you could get heard on the radio, records were very expensive. Distribution was another factor. The largest factor is that the population of the country has more than doubled since the early blues greats.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@redrocker1055 Speaking strictly on "From the Cradle", this is nothing but a cover album, nothing original. IT is a straight cover, not taken and owned as Manferd Manns Earth Band did with Springtein's "Blinded by the LIght", what Santana did with Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman", or what Johnny Cash did with "Hurt". As a straight cover, Clapton is just riding on the coattails of the original artists. The greatness of the ablum does not come from Clapton but those original artists.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@Robbob9933 What coattails? Before he recorded that album the vast majority of people didn't know Eddie Boyd from Leroy Carr. Thanks to Clapton and that album a lot of them do now.
Personally, I wasn't at all interested in the Blues until I herd that album and I know I'm not alone in that.
You can make all the catty remarks you want but the simple truth is Clapton inspires people, whether it's to pickup the instrument or learn a new style... That will ultimately be his lasting legacy!
redrocker1055 10 months ago
@Robbob9933 sure, but I am sure that if you listened to From the Cradle you realized that Eric Clapton was showcasing some of his influnces. And probably got them or their estates some money too.
liberalinthedesertaz 10 months ago
@liberalinthedesertaz Sadly the estates received nothing unless Clapton paid out of his own pocket. It was standard practice up until the mid-1970s for the label to own all the rights as the artists were employees of the label. There were exceptions excetptions, the earlist I know was Buddy Holly. Studios started reasserting this BS in the late 1980s and many of the top artists have minimal ownership at best.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@liberalinthedesertaz Unless you looked at the media notes, you were led to believe that these were Clapton originals. Example, most people think "I shot the Sherriff" is a Clapton song when in fact it is a Bob Marley song. It was over 20 years before Clapton acknowledged this via his mouth. Another fact is he covered this song so fast, only a couple months after release) it stomped Bob Marley off the air.
Robbob9933 10 months ago
@Robbob9933 I know that EC and Bob Marley were in the same recording studio at the same time and that he and EC agreed to each cover each others songs. EC did I shot the Sheriff and I don't remember which one Marley did, it wasn't nearly as big a hit as EC's but what does it matter. I already knew this......
liberalinthedesertaz 10 months ago
@liberalinthedesertaz Clapton and Marley did not record in the same studio and Marley never covered a Clapton song. Marley's songs were all about the Rastafari Movement to one degree or another.
