A return to the blues roots and purification of the soul
This ambitious work features Eric Clapton playing classic blues, his musical roots, in a straightforward manner.
As the title "From the Cradle" suggests, every note is infused with a deep reverence for the blues, a love that has endured from cradle to grave. This is an important work in his career, featuring covers of classic songs by Muddy Waters and Elmore James, delivered with raw guitar sounds and vocals that have reached a state of profound detachment.
