Clapton-Cale Review

[+/-] show/hide

Clapton, Eric & J.J. Cale -- "Road to Escondido" (Reprise) A+

Ah....my two heroes. J.J. Cale – a master at saying the maximum with the minimum notes (and endlessly catchy beats), and Eric Clapton—guitarist wizard who recognizes “feel” wherever he finds it (BB King and JJ Cale). I’ve long hoped these two would do a CD (Eric has often covered Cale’s tunes), and here it is – living up to everything I’d hoped. Guitar styles are exercised throughout and it’s great to listen to their similarities and differences. Cale’s definitely a Clapton inspirer, and together they work it right. First cut is the big radio hit and worth every note. The rest deliver, with an easy, masterful glide. Can’t complain...keep it coming! Mostly medium tempo grooves.
