Falls short of expectations

Review Score: (6/10)
Eric and BB, well more Eric and less BB. Much more Eric. In fact the title depicts that this is from Claptons point of view. Kind of odd that Clapton is driving the car - I don't quite understand the significance of that in regards to the title. They could have had a chauffeur in the front and had BB and Clapton both in the back seat or maybe even BB could have drove to show that Clapton is the guy doing the following. I don't know. It's pretty good. I bought it, I occasionally listen to it. A couple songs could have been left off, a couple more could have been added. But its like Phil Collins says about Clapton - this guy wears $2000 Versace suits and is a multi millionaire - how can his Blues really be from the heart? Clapton was best in the Blues Breakers where he really crafted his art and he's been riding that reputation since 1965. Buy this album and hear a tired rich guitarist try to sound authentic - and hear the genuine article (BB) get overshadowed.
