      From The Cradle has incredible blues singing. So does the relatively new release of most of those songs played live .. Nothing But The Blues. Clapton' s blues singing caught up with his guitar playing in the late 80s. I love both Derek and the Domino's albums ..studio, and live. But as he got older his voice got even more bluesy then it was. Awesome. Peace.
