Released in conjunction with Eric Clapton's autobiography, COMPLETE CLAPTON provides the soundtrack to the original guitar hero's decades-spanning journey. Over the course of two discs, this collection tracks Clapton's progress from the ground-breaking ... Full Descriptionpsychedelic blues-rock of Cream and the short-lived supergroup Blind Faith, through his Duane Allman collaboration, Derek & the Dominos, and on to his prolific solo career.
Clapton is personally responsible for a huge chunk of the classic-rock canon, and it's all included here. The primal crunch of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love," the bluesy riffarama that is Derek & the Dominos' evergreen "Layla," the country-tinged twangfest "Lay Down Sally"--you name it, COMPLETE CLAPTON has it. This set doesn't stint on later material, either, like Clapton's Robert Johnson tribute and a duet with J.J. Cale. With the possible exception of his very early work with John Mayall, there's nary a career highlight missed on this comprehensive anthology.

Few debut singles in the history of rock & roll have had the immediate and overwhelming impact of The Byrds' version of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man." Marrying a Beatles-like electric jangle to Dylan's insight and folky melody (in many ways, breaking Dylan into the pop market), it not only forecast the band's influence on the future of pop music but reestablished an American rock & roll presence in the face of the British Invasion. The album of the same name, released in June of 1965, was a shotgun blast before the canon roar that Dylan's HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED (released just two months later) would become.
As much as Bob Dylan was an overwhelming influence on the young Byrds--four of the twelve tracks on MR. TAMBOURINE MAN were Dylan songs--his contributions were only a part of what made the band special. The chiming sound of McGuinn's 12-string guitar was the group's backbone, characterizing The Byrds' presence in a way few rock instrumentalists had done until then. Gene Clark proved to be a mighty songwriter in his own right--"I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" has stood the test of time better than any other track here. Yet, what distinguished The Byrds and MR. TAMBOURINE MAN most was that they ...

Combining layered vocals with a heavily looped guitar sound, "Until We Sleep" begins ABOUT FACE with an almost Byrds-like quality, while the gentleness of the acoustic opening to the ballad "Murder" disguises its homicidal subject matter.

Complete Clapton music CDs
$16.59
Since his days with The Police, guitarist Andy Summers has investigated various avenues of jazz with his own quirky slant. With GREEN CHIMNEYS, he gets to explore Thelonious Monk, one of the most original composers in jazz and one of Summers' greatest influences. This most ambitious project finds Summers in good company, with support from such jazz aces as Peter Erskine, Joey de Francesco, and Dave Carpenter. In a way, Monk is a logical choice for Summers, as the two share similar eccentricities in music. The guitarist's unique wail fits the offbeat melodies of Monk to a T.
Summers sticks to the standard Monk repertoire, offering fresh re-workings of classics like the bouncing title track and "Hackensack," the latter featuring a New Orleans street-beat from Erskine. "Bemsha Swing" oozes along, with Summers doubling on both electric and acoustic guitars. The most raucous track is the grinding "Shuffle Boil," a heavy slammer featuring trumpeter Walt Fowler. The highest point, however, comes with the beautiful "'Round Midnight," on which Summers is joined by none other than Sting--who delivers a steamy vocal performance. Other worthy tracks include the funky "Evidence" and Summers' delightful solo acoustic reading of "Ruby My Dear."
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1999 album from the Police guitarist, now including four previously unreleased bonus tracks. Green Chimneys is Andy Summers' tribute to the music of jazz legend Thelonius Monk. It features The Police guitarist recorded in California with a host of the best players in the world. ''I was sixteen when I first heard Monk's music. ...

Complete Clapton Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)    Hardly "complete"
If you're a compilation producer and your next project is Eric Clapton, the first thing you gotta ask yourself is "Do I go for a complete career retrospective including all of the bands Clapton has worked with, or do I stick to only the solo recordings?" The smart money is on the former, but to truly do justice with that approach you would need a boxed set. An excellent boxed set, Crossroads was released many years ago which fills that need, but perhaps it should've been updated. If it were me, I would choose the latter approach. I would fill two discs with all of Clapton's solo work since any self-respecting classic rock fan will already own "The Very Best of Cream" or Cream's "Gold", along with Derek & The Dominos' "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs". Since that frees me up with quite a bit more room, I would select "Willie & The Hand Jive", "Watch Out For Lucy", "Blues Power", "Tulsa Time", "The Shape You're In", "Tearing Us Apart" and "Before You Accuse Me" to truly make a collection that is "complete".

not complete but almost enough
This is a wonderful collection of Clapton music, and remastering makes it a sonic treat. Especially nice is how they redid the acoustic version of "Layla," supressing that annoying "WAAAH!" some bozo yells out near the beginning (you know who you are, shame on you!).I can't wait for the "even more complete" Clapton to come out--this set leaves me wanting more.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No It's Pretty Good!
I thought the first cd was exactly the same as "The Cream of Clapton" at first but upon further examination discovered that "Lay Down Sally" was substituted for "Blues Power"; which I had no problem with because I much prefer "Lay Down Sally" and honestly didn't know it was omitted from "The Cream of Clapton". The second cd is great until the last four cuts which are just so-so! Overall it's a keeper but if this was in any way a compromise to Dylan's three disc set titled "Dylan", three discs would have been better and/or a one disc distilled overview for those who only wanted the hits, like Dylan did!
