Music reviews of Complete ClaptonMusic Review: E.C. IS NOT GODAbout 37 years ago this guy could play the hell out of a guitar. But ever since 'I SHOT THE SHERIFF', it seems that maybe he was hit in the head by a van or a bus. It is an opinion that some people do not prefer his song writing. It is a fact that he is no longer the same guitar player. I have heard the same statement time and time again from fans of his latter material. It goes something like this: Well Clapton was tired of being labled God and sick of the guitar hero questions. He was tired of dealing with fans who were obsessed with THE YARDBIRDS AND CREAM. So he found a new style of music to sit easy with. Music that sounded like THE BAND. He took on a singer songwriter role. After all, do you read the same books you read when you were 30 years younger? This is just a cop-out reasoning for his sell out years. He hasn't played a decent guitar solo since CROSSROADS on WHEELS OF FIRE. Even songs like LET IT RAIN are sort of southern rock in style and do not represent his talents from within. The only thing I could compare this with would be the band COOL BLUE. A garage band that tried to play blues and failed endlessly. Clapton was great in the 60's. A decade of free form music. A time of great guitar players. Not THE GRASSROOTS singing MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS which is pretty much what this collection of Clapton material reminds me of. What a waste of talent.
