| Clapton never leaves you short changed. The music is as always well done, a little slow and was hoping for a better mix of styles. Well balanced CD but don't expect bluesy, rock. By scottcorsaut (Sequim,Wa)  This review is for a different format. |
| Oh Dear I sat through this collection and the air was bit bye bit sucked out of the room. Its all very pleasant, like Perry Como or Bings Christmas album. Even the small amount of solos that exist are not played by EC, Im hating myself, but I will not be buying anymore Clapton music, I mean, after 15 years of crap, enough is enough By ericrjfuller (Jacksonville FL Ex London) This review is for a different format. |
| Love Eric Clapton's music!!! Wonderful guitar player By lchavis (Burlington, NC, USA)  This review is for a different format. |
