Reviews:
Cool album!
Here is the album that would earn Eric Clapton the nickname "Slowhand". The same thing would eventually happen to Madonna with her hit song MATERIAL GIRL. Hit songs from this album include LAY DOWN SALLY,COCAINE and WONDERFUL TONIGHT. Only the latter two would be recycled for the compilation THE CREAM OF CLAPTON. The other songs are good.Eric Clapton - Slowhand
(...) Clapton's heroin days definately produced more intersting results.I always hear masterful, understated, laid back, and assured when describing this album and to me it's just a polite way of saying boring as hell, which is basically what every Clapton album after 461 Ocean Blvd. is. Slowhand is a middle aged persons excuse to say they are still rocking out when they are certainly smack in the middle of the road. Cocaine is one of the most overrated songs in the history of rock & roll. Two chords and a lackluster guitar solo. I've seen bar bands look bored playing it. Wonderful Tonight is a song I wouldn't be surprised to see some aging crooner like Pat Boone cover. The ultimate wedding song, and it was Clapton's plea to his wife to get her butt in gear and get going!! That in itself is kinda funny, but still a bit pathetic. Lay Down Sally is country rock with a nice guitar riff, one of the few redeeming songs on the record, but it was overplayed when this album was released. We're All the Way is a straight country song written by Don Williams and played straight by Clapton, a glimpse of the direction he was heading. Core is probably the most rocking song on the album and the female vocals are top notch, but it goes slightly into jam band territory in what should have been a 3 minute song. The rest of the album is fairly pointless, as Clapton mauls Arthur Big Boy Crudup's difinitive Mean Ol Frisco and just rests on his laurels on the remaining songs. Clapton was capable of much better than this MOR schlock, but he has never really recovered from the blandness of this album except when playing blues with others who demand more out him, like B.B. King.
