The album presents twelve tracks, two of which are new original songs and the rest and interpretations of Blues, Pop and Reggae songs, some of which are well known standards. The album is evidently a collection of songs Clapton just loves to sing and play, accompanied by some great musician friends, excellently performed and played, but with no intention to invent anything new. After all these years he really does not need to prove anything anymore, and this just a great collection of great songs. For people, who have been following Clapton’s career, this is just a classic Pop / Blues album, as perfect as they come and his voice and guitar playing are still as strong as ever. Overall, this is another excellent album in Clapton’s continuous music journey, which now lasts over six decades. Great songs, excellent sound quality and superb musicianship make it a pleasant listening experience, which Clapton knows how to create without a hitch.
