	BBC - Classic Rock/Pop Review - Eric Clapton, Me And Mr Johnson
		Me and Mr Johnson is Clapton's open acknowledgement to the Mississippi blues master Robert Johnson; a man Clapton says has influenced him all his life.
		Me and Mr Johnson will appeal to his AOR audience after a bit of authentic as much as it will to staunch blues fans hungry for digital-age renditions of Johnson standards.
		Of course, Clapton is interpreting Johnson's music as he thinks/feels is correct and respectful to Johnson's vision, but there are moments where one is anticipating Clapton to really open up his playing, to allow his emotions rather than his technique to dominate, but this doesn't always happen.

	Album - Me And Mr. Johnson
		Johnson was released in late April entering the billboard charts at #18 and sustaining in the Top 40 on the Modern Pop charts, quite a feat for something like the blues.
		Johnson was the main influence on groundbreaking Delta blues artists like Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson, as well as Clapton and any blues that has existed since the 1930's harkens back to Johnson's moaning, groaning and wailing as well as his phrasing and guitar-playing.
		The original versions by Johnson are tough to listen to as the fidelity of the original recordings isn't very good, so I'm glad to see (and hear) Clapton cover these songs so that future generations can enjoy them and better realize the roots of blues and, indeed, rock and roll.

		All in all, "Me And Mr Johnson" is a pretty decent little record, but it doesn't excactly blow Johnson's originals out of the water, and it doesn't come close to matching Peter Green's two excellent Robert Johnson-tributes either.
		Johnson was not a technically gifted singer, but he sang with great passion, and this is not easily evident in the recordings here.
		Overall, this is an immensely enjoyable album, and an admirable tribute to Robert Johnson, albeit a tribute in the style of a modern blues musician.

		Johnson's influence has run throughout Clapton's career, but Clapton's direct draw from the blues is most apparent at the bookends of his career.

	CD review: "Me and Mr. Johnson"
		Add in the further evidence that even his 2001 pairing with B.B. King ("Riding With the King") was more complete than many of his rock-oriented outings, and you wonder if he'd not have been happier sticking to the blues.
		With veterans Steve Gadd (drums) and San Diego's Nathan East (bass) backing him, Clapton is free to play guitar and sing without distraction or the turmoil that has surrounded so much of his rock career (the discord of Cream and Blind Faith; the tragedies surrounding Derek and the Dominos).
		And by focusing strictly on songs written by blues legend Robert Johnson (whose recordings Clapton credits with inspiring him to pick up music in his youth), Clapton doesn't have to worry about composing any new music of his own.

		Johnson has been Clapton's steady rollin' muse since 1966, when he cut Johnson's "Ramblin' on My Mind" with John Mayall.
		Clapton pays broad tribute to Johnson as a composer and public-domain synthesist, spicing the sorrow of "Love in Vain" with the carnal sport of "They're Red Hot." But he recalls his own passage through darkness in these songs, too.
		When he finds Satan on his doorstep in "Me and the Devil Blues," you can hear in Clapton's deep, scarred howl that he is confronting an old acquaintance.

		Johnson, an album-length tribute to his hero, the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson.
		Johnson still is welcome, in part because it's been a long time since this guitarist has sounded so comfortable and relaxed, as if he was having fun making music.
		With the possible exception of the spotty yet charming B.B. King duet album Riding With the King, this is simply the most enjoyable record he's made since From the Cradle, and in some respects it's a better blues album than that since it never sounds as doggedly serious as that guitar-heavy affair.

		Clapton pays tribute to the Delta bluesman Robert Johnson, whose songs seem to be a key to his own brooding psyche.

		Johnson, a 14-track tribute to Johnson, would be equally good.
