 Eric Clapton - Unplugged + everything
It sounds like the beginning of a story: "So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues were riding in a car..." If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top down and the stereo blasting.
Clapton and King may be more city than country, but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes from a pair of veterans doing what they do best.
The 1974 album on which Clapton's solo career truly caught fire, 461 Ocean Boulevard is best remembered for its hit version of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"--perhaps the first time many in America ever heard the rhythms of reggae music.

Faith, dreams and love are central to "Running on Faith." Clapton offers "consolation" to a woman let down by her man ("Layla").
On it, Clapton wonders if his boy would recognize him in the afterlife, reminding himself that "there'll be no more tears in heaven." On "Lonely Stranger," a forthright wanderer warns someone not to grow too attached.
But while Clapton's blues aren't nearly as bitter and nihilistic as those of his moaning young contemporaries in the alternative genre, his lyrics could stand an injection of optimism.

 Eric Clapton Unplugged Signature Licks
The Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton model was created in 1996 in collaboration with the man himself!
Its unique design is based on a combination of features and dimensions uniting two specific vintage Martins that Eric favors in the studio and on stage--a vintage 1939 000-42 and a vintage 000-28.
Also notable was the Dobro F 60 Classic used on "Running on Faith," "Walkin' Blues" and "Rollin' and Tumblin'." This is similar to the model Clapton played in concert with a slotted headstock and a metal resonator plate on a wood body--differing only in the ornamentation and use of F-hole instead of round meshed soundholes.
