Eric ClaptonNothing but the Blues

Clapton stripped back to his roots, a 1994 live document of pure, smoky blues recorded with a hot band and no hits to lean on. His guitar bends and stings through standards from the genre's masters, voice weathered and reverent, the whole set simmering with after-hours intimacy. Tasteful, soulful and deeply felt. Slowhand paying his debts. Dim the lights.
