Eric Clapton

Me & Mr Johnson

A genuinely good album

Review Score: (10/10)
I never got into Robert Johnson. Some of his songs sounded the same to me and I couldn't appreciate his guitar playing. On this CD, Clapton is successful in bringing out the subtleties in his songs, that made Johnson a great.
There are no long-winded guitar solos, but crisp and effective renditions. Also the lyrics were sophisticated and don't sound dated. What I liked most about this album was the listenability. Not a single bad song!
Clapton's voice is better than ever and has matured well. It's easy to overlook any minor vocal shortcomings.

Standout tracks include "Hellhound", "Stop Breaking" and "Queen of Spades". A very impressive CD; it can also act as an excellent introduction to the Blues.
