Eric Clapton Money And Cigarettes CD

 Some of Clapton's smoothest blues!
One of the most overlooked and underrated albums in his catalog, "Money And Cigarettes" contains some downright funky and smooth blues Eric Clapton has ever made. He runs through some great blues covers, one of them a stunning version of "Crosscut Saw". There really is not a weak or even just- average track on this LP, and he does some pretty good originals as well, especially the laid back "I've Got A Rock And Roll Heart". Without a doubt, "Money And Cigarettes" is one of Clapton's finest moments.

 Classic Clapton!
This is Clapton's *best* from the 1980s. In fact, every track is a hit after hit if you're a person who likes rock and blues. Take out "Crazy country hop" and you've probably got an absolute first class album (unfortunately this is the one track where Clapton doesn't deliver the goods - it always makes me and my mates cringe!). "Pretty girl" is perhaps Clapton's best ballad (it is superior to "Wonderful tonight"). "Man in love", "Crosscut saw" and "Everybody oughta make a change" are classic blues tracks that still have the trademark Clapton-Cale laid back style with phenomenally good guitar licks which echo back to the days when Clapton was regarded as 'God'. And then there's "I've got a rock n roll heart" which epitomises the outlook of all of us who like the classic sounds of authentic rock and roll. All up this is a rockin' blues album that was made to successfully stand the test of time.

 Excellent . . .Great basic Clapton!
Not his most complex music, but very enjoyable songs, and of course typical Clapton first guitar work. One of his best.

 Worth your money!
I so agree with Gerry, this album is underrated. Eric Clapton showcases his talent in here. Buy it, you will know what I mean.

 Underrated
This is a pretty good album. Good songs and arrangements, good grooves. Check out "I've Got A Rock and Roll Heart" and "Slow down Linda".
