From the Cradle
The full-tilt blues album that Clapton had been promising for years, From the Cradle proves the guitarist's enduring devotion to a form he had long relegated to merely a flavor in his music rather than the main ingredient. Clapton's singing on the album is somewhat mannered; he tries to compete with original versions of these songs by Muddy Waters, Charles Brown, and others, and there's no way he's going to win that battle. Still, you can feel the emotional connection Clapton has with these songs, and guitar aficionados will swoon over his fretwork on songs such as "Third Degree," "Someday After a While," and the incendiary "Groanin' the Blues." --Daniel Durchholz more

First, let me say I have nothing against white blues guitar slingers. Love Bloomfield and Jonny Winter. Second, as a "classic rock dude" Clapton can't be beat. Layla, and all that other stuff- its seminal classic rock. The guy almost...

- Not a big clapton fan, but I love this album
I am a huge blues fan. I love artists like Peter Green, SRV, BB King, Muddy, Buddy guy and so on. I wouldn't rank Clapton up with any of these guys by any means, which most people would agree with me, would be a unfair comparison anyway....

- RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: MEDIOCRE ELECTRIC BLUES FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE!"
Clapton has not created any electric blues worthy of regard in 20 years. His voice was never anything, of high enough quality, or uniqueness, to make you get chills, or build a memory around. Today, in the 21st century, his voice is even...
