Eric Clapton Ping!
Robert Cray is a good guitar player, but don’t ask me what songs he plays...they just aren’t that memorable.
Clapton, on the other hand as a catalogue covering 60 years, Movie Scoring credits, has played with George Harrison, Tom Petty, The Yardbirds, Derek and the Dominoes (Duane Allman), Jeff Lynn (ELO), Blind Faith (Stevie Winwood) Cream, (Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce), B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Van Morrison, and many more.
He has also overcome heroin addiction, alcoholism, the traumatic death of a child, and has been the voice of guitar since the mid-sixties.
One of the most popular girl’s names for babies in the last 50 years or so is “Layla”, and you can bet people aren’t deriving it from the Ancient Persion Love Story.
Cray is not worthy to wipe the sweat off Eric’s Strings.
And I LOVE “Stand and Deliver”! If people had any backbone at all, it would be the new anthem of freedom.
second class blues...
