About the Recording

It is the best album Clapton has made in 20 years and an absolute Must Own! The music is every bit as good as they say -- deserving of the six Grammys it won. The depth of feeling that Clapton brings to this material, his respect and love for the blues, are not immediately evident with casual listening. The performance seems too controlled, restrained.

If you're like me, as time goes on the simple elegant music and unsophisticated lyrics will begin to resonate. With repeated listenings they take on a quality you rarely find in popular music: spirituality.

This is understandable considering what Clapton has been through; he has a left to sing the blues. The subtlety of his performance and the control he displays on this almost too personal material makes this concert one you really start to feel only after it's over. Old Love is that kind of song; it gives me chills.

This classic album demands a revisit. For those who have been a little dissapointed by Clapton's releases since heady days of Cream, Blind Faith and the Dominos, this live performance represents something of a return to form. Backed by a more than capable backing group (featuring Nathan East on bass and the legendary Andy Fairweather-Low, formerly in Amen Corner, on rhythm guitar) the album, which is a mixture of blues covers and acoustic remakes of his own songs, highlights the best of a mixed career. Top tracks include yet another version of the Bo Diddley classic Before You Accuse Me an improvement over the electric cover with Robert Cray of the Journeyman album, Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out from the seminal Layla album and a fun version of the blues standard San Francisco Bay Blues". Clapton's tour-de-force, Layla, is given a bluesy laidback feel that really makes this classic equally good if not better that the original. Top all this with a few more blues standards and the fact that it's pressed on 180 gram vinyl and you've got a great package.

AMG 4 1/2 Star Rave Review!

Eric Clapton's Unplugged was responsible for making acoustic-based music, and Unplugged albums in particular, a hot trend in the early '90s. Clapton's concert was not only one of the finest Unplugged episodes, but was also some of the finest music he had recorded in years. Instead of the slick productions that tainted his '80s albums, the music was straightforward and direct, alternating between his pop numbers and traditional blues songs. The result was some of the most genuine, heartfelt music the guitarist has ever committed to tape. And some of his most popular — the album sold over seven million copies in the U.S. and won several Grammies.
