As a
contributor
Eric Clapton contributes to Jamie Oldaker's new album, Mad Dogs and
Okies. Clapton has worked and recorded extensively with Oklahoma
musicians throughout his career, including Delaney and Bonnie, Leon
Russell, and J.J. Cale (who wrote “After Midnight” and
“Cocaine”).
"I
always liked Tulsa music for its no-compromise attitude, as if the
musicians were making it just for themselves, without regard to what
other people would think of it." -- Eric Clapton - Review

Crossroads
Guitar Festival DVD
In June 2004, some of the greatest living guitar players and their
bands gathered at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, for a three-day
festival to benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua. It was the
ultimate concert for any music lover, featuring one legend after the
other: Eric Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, James Taylor,
Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Walsh, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph,
Santana, ZZ Top, and many more. This 2-DVD set beautifully documents
the event and contains over 4 hours of content.

Eric Clapton Announces
Historic Concert Performance in Red Square, Moscow August 3, 2006
Russian Date Completes European Tour NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE)
-- 04/04/2006 -- Completing his previously announced European tour,
Eric Clapton will perform a final, historic show for this leg of the
world tour on August 3, 2006 in Red Square, Moscow. The Russian date
wraps up the tour which begins May 5 in France and will travel
through 14 countries.
This will be the first time
Clapton has performed in Red Square, following in the footsteps of
major artists such as Paul McCartney, Placido Domingo and Luciano
Pavarotti who have all performed in the famed location, in addition
to last year's historic Live 8 concert.
Overview
Eric
Clapton is a legendary musician. He is not only a master guitar player,
but his songwriting is outstanding; it is rare to excel so highly in
both realms. Certain phases of his career often leaned further
towards showcasing guitar playing while others favored songwriting;
perhaps his album Slowhand has the optimal balance between
the two styles. Additionally, Eric Clapton’s music shifted between
blues and pop, and his release of Unplugged was a superb
balance of combining these two realms.
With
such a long and distinguished career Eric Clapton’s sound took on
many phases through his many early bands and distinguished solo
career. With such an abundant of phases to Eric Clapton’s
music it is expected that there are some periods that are better
than others. We have
sifted through his career and will summarize what we feel is his best
work. The links below will bring you to our album reviews.
