Eric Clapton – EC Was Here [Audio CD]

Description

1. Have You Ever Loved A Woman 2. Presence Of The Lord 3. Driftin’ Blues / Rambling On My Mind 4. Can’t Find My Way Home 5. Ramblin’ On My Mind 6. Further On Up The Road uk A 1975 live album that found Clapton at–if you’ll pardon the expression–a crossroads, E.C. Was Here marks the line of demarcation between the guitar hero of the past and more song-oriented player he’d become for the second half of the 1970s. Clapton breaks out on a couple of old Blind Faith numbers–“Presence of the Lord” and “Can’t Find My Way Home”–that reflect his soulful, spiritual side, while “Further On Up the Road” rocks out and Charles Brown’s “Drifting Blues”, restored to its full eleven-and-a-half-minute length on the newly remastered version, presents another instrumental showcase. There are only six tunes here, but EC leaves his indelible mark on each of them. — Daniel Durchholz
