The
world's premier living rock guitarist will be
forever grateful to his grandparents, for they gave
him his first guitar. The young Eric was raised by
his grandparents Rose and Jack Clapp when his natural
mother could not face bringing up an illegitimate
child at the age of 16. He received a £14 acoustic

guitar
for his fourteenth birthday, then proceeded to copy
the great blues guitarists note for note. His
first band was the Roosters, a local R&B
group that included Tom McGuinness, a future member
of Manfred Mann, and latterly part of the Blues Band.
Clapton stayed for eight months until he and McGuinness
left to join Casey Jones And The Engineers. This brief
sojourn ended in 1963 when Clapton was sought out by
the Yardbirds, an aspiring R&B band, who needed
a replacement for their guitarist Tony Topham. The reputation
swiftly established by the Yardbirds was largely centred
on Clapton, who had already been nicknamed "Slowhand"
by the partisan crowd at Richmond's Crawdaddy club.
Clapton
stayed for 18 months until musical differences interfered.
The Yardbirds were taking a more pop-orientated direction
and he just wanted to play the blues. He departed
shortly after the recording of "For Your Love".

A
unique tribute to seminal blues innovator Robert Johnson,
'Me & Mr Johnson' features Clapton renditions of
fourteen of the twenty-nine songs written by the mythic

blues, Clapton's expression of Johnson's music stands
alongside his strongest achievements, and ranks as one
of modern blues' most moving accomplishments. Whether
you're a fan of Clapton or Johnson, you'll find much
to love here. An obviously personal but no less mesmerising
album from one of rock music's most talented and enduring
artists.

Eric
Clapton - 24 Nights (DVD)
£18.99 - Click
Here to Buy Now
This
DVD depicts the 24 nights Eric Clapton spent in the
Albert Hall. The DVD contains footage of Clapton's
4 piece band night which I found to be disappointing
as was most of the 9 piece band material with the major
exception of the fantastic version of White Room Clapton
plays. This version is almost as good as the original
Cream version. Also contained on the video is footage
of the blues nights and the orchestra nights.
In
my own opinion I found these two sections of the video
to be the better of all four. In the blues nights Clapton
showed he could still play the blues long before releasing
"From the cradle" and "Riding with the
king". If you are a Clapton fan I would suggest
you buy this DVD as soon as possible even if it is just
for the version of White Room
