| | Eric Clapton There's One In Every Crowd CD Eric Clapton Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
By 1975, Eric Clapton was coming off the smash success of 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD. If his last album was a cathartic release after coming out of a battle with drug addiction, then THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD was the first record where Clapton could catch his breath. Having become enamored with reggae after riding Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff" to the top of the charts around the world, E.C. chose to record in Kingston, Jamaica. Although recordings of Clapton with Peter Tosh first surfaced over a decade later on the CROSSROADS box set, Slowhand successfully dipped his toe into the reggae pool by way of the loping beat of "Don't Blame Me," along with an infectious take on "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." (He even managed to add an impressive Jamaican patois to his vocal style).
Elsewhere, Clapton returned to the roots of American music via straight-forward gospel ("We've Been Told [Jesus Is Coming Soon])"and blues (Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying" and Mary McCready's "Singin' The Blues.") Clapton's bypassing of electric guitar for some vastly underrated dobro playing turned his self-penned "Pretty Blue Eyes" and "High" into gems often overlooked in his enormous canon.
Out of print in the U.S.! Digitally remastered pressing of Slowhand's 1975 Sandwiched between the albums 461 Ocean Boulevard and E.C.

Eric Clapton There's One In Every Crowd Songs There's One In Every Crowd Music There's One In Every Crowd Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   Forgotten Classic!
This for me is his best solo effort. Why? Well for starts, the reggae influence sounds cool and there are what are considered album filler to my ears some of his best ever written songs. I;d say buy it if you've become a fan because if not your missing out. Slowhand and 461 Ocean albums get the limelight but this one is better. REALLY!

My Dead song is on this recording
This is my all time favorite CD. My Ex and I used to have this album and I have been on the hunt for it since we split up. When the time comes I want "Swing Low, Sweet Chariet". Played while my family sprinkles my ashes. The beat is so perfectly fitting to me.
It is a rejoicing sound, such as I hope they will be rejoicing my life. I now have a copy and play it often, it makes me feel good.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Could Have Been Better
Released less than nine months after the excellent 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD, this record falls a little flat. Because a good portion of this recording was done in Jamaica, the reggae influence is a little more prominent. This is especially true on "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", one of the two gospel tunes that open the album. The old blues influence is still here, however, on "The Sky is Crying" and "Singin' the Blues". Of the last four cuts on the record, all penned by Clapton, only "High" stands out as a true Clapton classic, the other three are largely forgettable. Although this record has the same feel as its predecessor, the whole thing could have been better had EC taken a little more time during the recording process.

There's One In Every Crowd album
 $7.69   
After playing the 1973 Rainbow Concerts that were arranged by good friend Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton returned to Florida's Criteria Recording Studio to cut 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD. Because of a stint of personal turmoil, Clapton had not played guitar for two years preceeding the Rainbow Concerts, but with the help of a core group of musicians including George Terry, former Derek & the Dominos bassist Carl Radle, Jamie Oldaker, and Yvonne Elliman, Slowhand put together an album that many consider to be his best.
Focusing more on his singing than his guitar pyrotechnics of the past, the new, improved Clapton used a laid-back, J.J. Cale-type vocal style to great effect on a mellow version ...

There's One In Every Crowd CD music
$6.49
On the original LP, the song "Drifting Blues" faded out after about 3 minutes. The CD contains the complete 11:31 version.
Released in the same year as 1975's THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD, E.C. WAS HERE is a live album short on content but long in presentation. Backed by his usual mid-70's studio cohorts (George Terry, Jamie Oldaker, Yvonne Elliman, Marcy Levy, etc.), Clapton ignored his then-current material off CROWD and 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD, instead choosing to explore his immediate, post-Cream era along with some extended, old favorites. "Presence Of The Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home" were retrieved ...
| | Eric Clapton No Reason To Cry CD (1976) Remastered
There's One In Every Crowd music CDs
$7.25 
In the spirit of all-star get-togethers endemic to that part of the '70s, 1976's NO REASON TO CRY became Eric Clapton's recorded version of the Rolling Thunder Tour. Joining Clapton in the studio were Bob Dylan, Ron Wood, Georgie Fame and Band-mates Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko & Richard Manuel (Clapton returned the favor later in the year by appearing in The Last Waltz, the Band's last live show). Clapton's buddies also contributed material, including Dylan's "Sign Language," the Danko/Manuel composition "Beautiful Thing" and Danko's country-flavored "All Our Past Times."
At this point in his solo career, Clapton was taking a more languid and low-key approach towards playing, with more emphasis on presenting ...
| | Eric Clapton Backless CD (1978) Remastered
There's One In Every Crowd songs
$6.49
Following the platinum success of SLOWHAND, BACKLESS continued Eric Clapton's transformation into a singer/songwriter with better-than-average chops after a lifetime of guitar godhood. Eschewing the star-studded cameos of NO REASON TO CRY, Clapton instead relied on his core group of the '70s: George Terry, Carl Radle, Jamie Oldaker, Dick Simms and Marcy Levy. Levy in particular, proved her worth by co-writing the slide-drenched "Roll It" with Slowhand. Her passionate testifying on this as well as her sparkling harmonies on the Don Williams-influenced "Promises" made up for fellow back-up singer Yvonne Elliman's departure following SLOWHAND's ...
