Topic: Preview of Clapton's new album "Old Sock"

http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/03/ … ock-first/

You can stream Clapton's new album right here. Pretty similar to his last album. Covers that vary in a lot of different genres.

Hope that From The Cradle Part 2 will eventually come out.

I'll take a pass after hearing some snippets. Resting on his laurels?

I'm finding it almost impossible to believe that this is the same guy who played in Cream...
Embarrassing...

Re: Preview of Clapton's new album "Old Sock"

I'm actually kind of digging it.  Not something I'd listen to every day, but the production is great and it has a good vibe overall.  I hate to say it, but it's nice background music... I could have it on at work, or while I'm doing other stuff at home.  Good enough to be worth listening to, but not so compelling or edgy you get lost in it.  I honestly don't mean that as a bad thing.  Some of the tunes I like a lot.

I could do without the "All of Me" cover, though.  I'm so used to hearing ripping gypsy-jazz versions of that tune... doing a "laid back" version just doesn't seem right.  It's such a ubiquitous standard you'd better play the c**p out of it, or go home.  I couple of the other covers we odd choices, too, but overall it seems like a decent album.  Didn't blow me away, but I liked it more than I thought I would.

Re: Preview of Clapton's new album "Old Sock"

I'm planning on buying the album tomorrow. So far I've only heard that song Gotta Know. Clapton is an artist, and he has the right to record whatever he wants. I like artists that do something different sometimes, he never sounds the same on any album, and that's the mark of a true artist!!
