Captured Live album. Eric Clapton and the blues have been inextricably linked dating back to his mid-1960s stint as a string-bending phenomenon in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. A decade after the release of his blues homage FROM THE CRADLE, Clapton's ME AND MR. JOHNSON pays tribute to his hero Robert Johnson. Rounding up a stellar backing crew, including Andy Fairweather-Low and Jerry Portnoy (both of whom appeared on CRADLE), Slowhand approaches the Johnson canon with a relaxed and confident touch.
Applying liberal amounts of slide and fuzz guitar, this English rock legend saunters along fare such as "Traveling Riverside Blues" and "Love in Vain," time-honored Johnson classics better known through renditions by Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, respectively. Portnoy's unobtrusive harp provides subtle accompaniment to Clapton's heartfelt playing, be it the swirling dirge "Hell Hound on My Trail" or the harmony-soaked "Come on in My Kitchen." The proceedings are also enhanced by the Hammond organ and piano work of sideman Billy Preston, whose trips up and down the eighty-eights give added punch to songs like the rollicking "32-20 Blues" and the barrelhouse "They're Red Hot."

Captured Live songs. Brian Auger/Brian Auger's Oblivion Express: Brian D. Auger (vocals, electric piano, organ, bass guitar); Savannah Grace Auger (vocals); Larry Williams (trumpet); Chris Golden (bass guitar); Karma Auger (drums, programming); Katisse Buckingham.
One of the 1960s' most in-demand session players, keyboardist Brian Auger has never stopped playing, recording, or touring. Since the late '90s he has led the Oblivion Express, which includes his children Savannah and Karma, and the music expands on the basic pastoral blues of his earlier work. This album, originally recorded in 2005, swings and rocks in equal measure, with a soulfulness that only a veteran like Auger can bring to the material.
