"My Baby Left Me"


On this Day in History
79 Mount Vesuvius, east of Naples, Italy,
erupted and buried Pompeii

On this Day in History
410 Rome was overrun by the Visigoths , led by King Alaric; although no longer the official capital city, Rome's fall to Alaric symbolized the end of the Western Roman Empire


On this Day in History
1814 British forces under General Robert Ross
sacked Washington, DC, burning the Capitol and White House

Anybody alive in the Seventies will attest to Eric Clapton's Blues bona fides. I just love the way he treats these Robert Johnson classics with such surgical precision. The tempo, inflection, all of it nearly exactly as the original.

I love this album . . .
