Music reviews of From the Cradle
Music Review: WEAK
Rating: 1 Stars
First, let me say I have nothing against white blues guitar slingers. Love Bloomfield and Jonny Winter.
Second, as a "classic rock dude" Clapton can't be beat. Layla, and all that other stuff- its seminal classic rock. The guy almost defines the genre.
However, as a blues player, and especially as a blues singer, he is way overrated. People float him five stars because of the above classic rock god status. "Clapton? I love Clapton. Five stars."
The licks are ok, the solos are ok when he keeps them short. When he tries to go gonzo on a slow blues, he just sounds silly. Everything after Bluesbreakers was downhill for the guy blues-wise.
And the singing. Terrible. Imagine the whitest dude you know- Nay, the whitest BRITISH dude you know, trying to sing blues. Some can pull it off: Robben Ford, Jonny Winter, NOT Clapton. He sounds awful.
In summary: as classic rock dude: wonderful. As gut bucket blues stringer: emberassing
Description of From the Cradle
The full-tilt blues album that Clapton had been promising for years, From the Cradle proves the guitarist's enduring devotion to a form he had long relegated to merely a flavor in his music rather than the main ingredient. Clapton's singing on the album is somewhat mannered; he tries to compete with original versions of these songs by Muddy Waters, Charles Brown, and others, and there's no way he's going to win that battle. Still, you can feel the emotional connection Clapton has with these songs, and guitar aficionados will swoon over his fretwork on songs such as "Third Degree," "Someday After a While," and the incendiary "Groanin' the Blues." --Daniel DurchholzChicago Blues CDs
