		I enjoy Clapton's vocal style, but singing is the one area where Eric occasionally lacks the ability to put a mediocre song over-the-top, and this particular deficit shows up on the aforementioned tracks.
		Eric Clapton is surrounded by a cornucopia of musicians and vocalist on this his first solo album.
		"Eric Clapton" is not one of Clapton's better-known solo albums, but it has several good melodies and a lot of excellent musicanship, and while it doesn't reach the hights of "Layla" or "From The Cradle" it is definitely one of Clapton's better efforts.

	Album - Eric Clapton
		Clapton would sponsor and accompany the group on a European tour and Delaney Bramlett would assist the guitarist with the recording of his debut solo album.
		Several early tracks for Clapton's album were attempted in Olympic Studios in London but the serious recording did not occur until January 1970 in Los Angeles upon the resulting album, referred to by Delaney Bramlett in the press as "Eric Sings", was a deliberate attempt to reposition Clapton in the musical world.
		Although Eric had contributed the occasional song or vocal to his previous groups, he must have surprised many fans with the strong singer/songwriter stance he takes on this first solo album (eight original songs, all but one composed in collaboration, including the concert staples 'Blues Power' and 'Let it Rain').

		Clapton first purchased this guitar in 1966/67, and was used on the first two Cream albums (Fresh Cream and Disraeli Gears), and on the Wheels of Fire live recordings.
		Clapton created a new electric guitar sound and employed an overdriven Marshall amplifier that provided the distortion, feedback, and sustain he needed for his trademark sound.
		According to Clapton, the "woman-tone" is achieved by rolling the tone control all the way off on either the neck or the bridge pickup of a guitar with humbucking pickups and the volume all the way up.
