Happy 61st birthday to the greatest guitarist in the world. I'm happy to say that I've seen him live several times (after which I picked my jaw up off the floor) and have met him a couple of times. A very nice, sweet, and humble man. One of God's gifts to music.
You're welcome! I have most of them. He records like Ray writes, so it's hard to keep up with them, but I try!
His style is very Beatles-esque, and his vocal are very McCartney. Another good thing about him is his range - he has done classical, folk, Dylan-esque, and outright jams! All just wonderful.
Mr. Clapton's recent release with Wynton Marsalis (EC and WM Play the Blues) is stellar from start to finish. Here is a Classic cover of a rock/blues "Classic"! :
