| | Eric Clapton Crossroads CD Eric Clapton Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
The motherload, this four-disc box set spans a quarter-century of Slowhand's career and acts as both a comprehensive introduction and an overview of the guitar legend. The release of the 4-CD box set CROSSROADS is the perfect package ... Full Descriptionto commemorate Eric Clapton's first 25 years of making music. Starting out as a blues purist with the like-minded Yardbirds, Clapton left after the band moved in a decidedly more pop direction. He began an apprenticeship under John Mayall. Encouraged to indulge in his love for the songs of Freddie King ("Hideaway") and Robert Johnson ("Ramblin' On My Mind") among others, Clapton metamorphosed into a guitar god after forming Cream with two of Mayall's sidemen, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. These three virtuosos set the bar for the classic power trio line-up and in the process redefined rock music and introduced unprecedented levels of improvisational freedom within songs such as "Crossroads." Post-Cream, Clapton took his godhead status into the supergroup Blind Faith before becoming a sideman with Delaney & Bonnie ("Comin' Home"). Using their back-up band on his solo debut led to the formation of Derek & The Dominos. This unit's synergy allowed Clapton to unleash all his accumulated creative might amidst the throes of personal unrest yielding the epic "Layla." Later, Clapton reinvented himself as a mellow singer-songwriter. CROSSROADS covers all this history and includes extensive liner notes by Anthony.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Music Mastery
This collection shows one man's evolution through music and his bringing together elements of all facets that make rock music great. He has clearly enhanced the blues-rock legacy, and his style and determination are wonderful. There is not one single track, better than another, this is one collection you have to sit down with and play together, or at least some of thediscs should be done together. It is my favorite boxed set that I have ever ourchased.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Woo hoo! Best Clapton compilation ever!!!
I can remember running off to the music store on my 14th birthday to go and buy this boxed set. It's fantastic!!!!!!!! It's got it all - all the hits (up to 1988) and lots of previously unreleased material too. I've been listening to this for 18 years now and it still takes me back to my High School days - this boxed set is part of the soundtrack of my life! The blues is so authentic - you've got to check out "Mean Old World", "Got to Hurry", "Double Trouble" and "Lonely Years". The hits are so cool - "I shot the Sherriff", "Cocaine", "Layla" and "Forever Man".
If you're a Clapton fan and you don't have this boxed set - go get it now! It's essential listening!!!
