Eric Clapton played a different style of guitar in his early bands like Cream, Derek & The Dominoes and Blind Faith.
Album: The Breeze: An Appreciation Of JJ Cale – Eric Clapton & Friends
Music: Universal
Ratings: 3.5
Eric Clapton played a different style of guitar in his early bands like Cream, Derek & The Dominoes and Blind Faith. When his style changed from heavy soloing towards a more earthy, simple-yet-complex sound, the reclusive Californian songwriter and guitarist JJCale had much to do with that.
Along with legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, Cale was to have a profound influence on Clapton’s style. Two of his biggest solo hits in the 70s – After Midnight and Cocaine – are Cale songs. 2006’s excellent The Road To Escondido was his last album-length collaboration with Cale. The idea for a tribute came to Clapton last year, when Cale passed away. Faithfully reproduced with a little help from a bunch of superstar sidemen (Tom Petty, Mark Knopfler and John Mayer included) are songs like Cajun Moon, which would have been better with a mellow jam. Lies has vocals by John Mayer and Tom Petty kicks out the jams on Rock and Roll Records which has an undeniable swagger to it. Mark Knopfler’s finger-picked soloing style is heard on Train to Nowhere which like the title suggests, is a bit brooding. Starbound gets the grizzled Willie Nelson treatment while I’ll Be There gets a suitably rootsy and jaunty treatment from a musician called Don White. Pefect Sunday afternoon listening.
