Eric Clapton - Me & Mr. Johnson

[rhh7]

I am listening to this CD, which I got from the library this morning. It has 14 Robert Johnson classics, as interpreted by Eric Clapton.

I am in blues heaven! This is my favorite music!!

I love his tone on that album but I only enjoy about half of the songs. The one album I really enjoy is From The Cradle.

If you like the Me & Mr Johnson album you may want to check out the DVD - it includes a CD with some other songs that didn't make it on the M&MJ album...Sweet Home Chicago etc...

Yup I agree for sure. I've got both the CD & DVD, some good old blues on there. I think it's even done on location where Mr Johnson hung out.
Billy Preston on piano too. How can you lose? :food-smiley-004:

I've got the DVD and CD combo it is awesome!

That record, along maybe with the one he did with BB King, are my favourite Clapton since Cream.
If you like that one though, have a listen to Peter Green's Robert Johnson Songbook...it's pretty awesome too.

I have the Robert Johnson songbook as well. Uhm...I never heard of Peter Green until this past year (no I haven't been living under a rock). I've since bought quite a few of his CD's since being introduced to his music, sticking mostly to early Fleetwood Mac.

EC's Riding with the King is another one of my favourite albums.
