Set Lists

The self-titled Eric Clapton album is the first to fall under his name. The CD that followed took on the band name Derek and the Dominoes, even though the primary back up band is essentially the same for both. Though, this album has a heavier Bramlett influence and some session players. Then after Derek and the Dominoes disband, Eric Clapton resumed recording under his own name.

The tone of this album is rock 'n' roll with a heavy blues influence. His back-up band is super and there are some strong songs including hits such as "Let it Rain," and "Blues Power." Though in additional to the hits many less known songs such as, "Easy Now," "Slunky," "Bad Boy," and "Bottle of Red Wine" grace this album with brilliance. Eric Clapton's self-titled album is still great after all these years and is easily one of his best recordings. ~ by Barry Small ©
