Oh BTW

ERIC CLAPTON

Providence Rhode Island 1987

Big O posted this earlier and I nearly missed it but started playing it and then realised who was on it! This is as close to a supergroup as he ever got somehow. With Collins on drums and doing what he does best (drum and not anything else - a good journeyman drummer but nothing else for this listener) the powerhouse that is Nathan East on bass and Greg Philanganes on keyboards and who shall we have for a guest? Why let's have Robert Cray. That'll do! 
This is astonishingly good quality too!



Enjoy! I think you will!



Born on this day: March 30, 1945 - Rock guitar icon Eric Clapton (born Eric Patrick Clapton in Ripley, Surrey, UK). Happy 72nd Birthday, “Slowhand”!!
