This man is absolutely a guitar god. Has he ever played a bad song? Think about it. Started out loving his music " Sunshine of Your Love " was my wake-up call to Clapton. Remembering fabulous barbecue week-ends in Palisades Park, dancing our asses off. I grew up with THE best music. And Eric led the way! Super super talented dude.
this is one of my all time favorite of his solos...sort of midpoint in his career. The mastery is tremendous....almost hard to believe...and so soulful and fluid.....just pouring out...and with all the incredible accelerations and downshifts....never a wasted or arbitrary or "show-off" note. His next phase...you here it with JJ Cale collaborations...or a Crossroad Festivals....where he's more abbreviated....but hitting sweet spots other players can't even imagine....Slow fast old young...50 fukkin years of genius and gifts to anyone with ears to hear....I'll rhapsodize a little more....so many solos are historic events to me...fragile, perfect crystalline....like snowflakes...all different. Moments of brilliant light that flash and disappear....Among great players he's unique...His guitar is singing angelic script...and I'm not particularly religious...But he's magical....How often do we get a person that sings in a totally non-referential universal language....that can translate itself with such grace into any human heart with perfect understanding. For the 5 decades I've been listening and emulating when I can...maybe Bach or Hendrix....are "players"where i just become ears to heart and stop trying to figure it out. well, there is Beethoven...and without the slightest sarcasm I put Eric Clapton in that league....Because as a long time guitar player (kind of a talented imitating monkey...not an on the fly composer)....Even in his "easier (slower) stuff i can put together with 95% accuracy.......( the best compliment I EVER got was being called his"illegitimate son" by a player i respect) ....If he's a "10"then I'm a .0000001 compared..... He's inspired me hugely....the fact that in his "spare time" he donates the proceeds of Crossroads to research for his clinic etc. and by nature seems an authentically modest man.....I'm not a fame/fan type.....but I suppose he's a hero to me....As far as his music goes...even the stuff that can be deciphered and played....is so full of "sweet spots" he doesn't just riff...he writes short stories in music...beginning, middle,end...they are short compositions that are filled with interior coherence and metronomic elegance.... Whether consciously or not...no guitarist isn't using something he that he didn't put into the vocabulary.....he absorbed everyone....and put it together into his voice.....well if you read this verbose raving...I mean it all......
I've got to ride that lonesome train My heart is heavy with aches and pain I said, "But someday, someday baby After a while, you will be sorry" Every day my clouds are grey It takes you to roll all those clouds away I said, "But someday, someday, baby After a while, you will be sorry" Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind Trouble, trouble, way down the line I don't need, I don't need no sympathy So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me I may be blue, but I don't mind Because I know way down the line I said, "Someday, someday, baby After a while, you will be sorry"

Get yourself a vinyl copy of this LP and a pair of studio quality head phones, not those crappy overpriced beats POS but a real pair of closed back studio reference headphones, put this album on the turntable and drop a diamond on it and sit back and be prepared to be amazed. Clapton ain't God, but I bet he gets a Christmas card from him every year!
What i love about Clapton is that you can literally feel the pain in his playing.
Excelente guitarrista grande compositor
My favorite Clapton album.
Sir , Sir Eric Clapton 🇦🇷 ❤️ Respect !!! You are the king !! Right now !!!
If these riffs don't tear you up, you just might be dead!

What a gift! Clapton in my opinion found his true greatness when he stopped playing in a band and became the band.

Eric Clapton is a gift of universe
Just like Albert King
This album is awesome. It is my go to when I need my blues fix.
My favorite song on the "from the cradle" album... clapton is the MAN!
Teresa Price ….. Not a clinker on the whole album . I like 'Groanin' Blues' a bunch, too .
Genial Man !!! Loved
Eric with his 335. Unbeatable.
This and unplugged are the best he or anyone ever did in this genre
What a pleasure, Calvin Roberts!. ..dropping a diamond on the groove, drinking a good brew, and enjoying this tune
One of my favorite tracks from this great disc.
the king of the blues
I've got to ride that lonesome train
My heart is heavy with aches and pain
I said, "But someday, someday baby
After a while, you will be sorry"
Every day my clouds are grey
It takes you to roll all those clouds away
I said, "But someday, someday, baby
After a while, you will be sorry"
Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind
Trouble, trouble, way down the line
I don't need, I don't need no sympathy
So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me
I may be blue, but I don't mind
Because I know way down the line
I said, "Someday, someday, baby
After a while, you will be sorry"
gotta luv it no words can xpress the way this man plays..god truely blessd him..with talent
Eric Clapton damn! you have a God given talent called the blues and anything else you do❤
I have been listing to this man since I was a child. You gotta love this.
+Marvin Pentz I have as well and I DO!!!

One of his best,,,,,,,,Or maybe his best,,,,,,It's hard to pick just one from Eric.
He can play!!! love it love it love
God gave Mr Clapton a great talent for us to enjoy.
GimmeShelterr Maybe practice had something to do with it
The coolest guitar sound i've ever heard in my life is at 2:09
My very favorite!
Probably my favorite tune from "From the Cradle" album.
Highly nasty.
probably my fave amongst Clapton's performances. It's a hard choice though.
Ele é o Cara ,Salve
All is right with the world while Eric is playing.
Fantastic song!!
Is that 335? Huge sound must be humbuckers semi hollow? Awesome album, five long years is another massive track
Yeah it's his 335. His 335 is the best sounding guitar he ever had and it's not even close.
This is fire!
I'm gonna go with this vs. five long years..excellent powerful blues bends and tone. Why choose just one lol
Get yourself a vinyl copy of this LP and a pair of studio quality head phones, not those crappy overpriced beats POS but a real pair of closed back studio reference headphones, put this album on the turntable and drop a diamond on it and sit back and be prepared to be amazed.
Clapton ain't God, but I bet he gets a Christmas card from him every year!
Lmao, awesome comment and totally agree.
Calvin Roberts closed back studio reference headphones thank you man I'm on it Friday!!!!
Amen.
Snob
did you know this is actually a live? there has not been any mixing. a lot of preps I guess, but this is a live recording. wow
Wow, no kidding?
yep have a look at the credits
Wow. Interesting, it kind of makes sense.
Live In the studio. Clapton did this a lot.
Excelentes versiones de este album
L O V E
Madre mia!!
NASA could've saved a fortune by letting the Apollo 11 crew just hitch a ride on a Clapton 335 bend.
This recording is one hell of an advertisement for Gibson guitars
Is this recorded on his Gibson, or custom Strat? I thought the Strat, but I could be wrong
que buena version
So hard to imitate.
Clapton joue avec ses tripes !
You can tell Eric >> Loves the BB King style . . . Savoy Brown Street Corner Talkin' . . .Climax Blues Band >>FM
Man, can Slowhand belt them out!!!!
I guess Eric get's the last word. I wouldn't talk back!
tengo este disco
SANTA MARIA!
2:57
Molto piace esta mio muzica e cancone gracie mille a tuto ce mandato
1,25 speed rocks :)
I think what Eric Clapton did to George Harrison is really bad! But he sure is a good singer songwriter and guitar player!!
Lord, please have mercy on me 🙏
