iTunes Review
Retaining the easygoing, naturalistic air of 2004’s Me and Mr. Johnson, Back Home encompasses all the aspects of Eric Clapton’s latter-day career. There is the light R&B of “So Tired” and the relaxed gospel of “I’m Going Left.” His knack for sweet-natured pop continues with “Say What You Will,” while his longstanding reverence for blues is reflected in “Lost and Found.” Despite the variety of material, Back Home is ultimately a soul album; an unperturbed horn section and laid-back choir form a recurring motif, but the songs themselves fit easily into the patterns of soul. “Love Don’t Love Nobody,” “Piece of My Heart,” and “One Track Mind” will appeal to fans of Luther Vandross, Bettye LaVette and Jill Scott, as much as admirers of Clapton’s classic rock albums. The album’s centerpiece is Clapton’s gentle, poignant reading of George Harrison’s “Love Comes to Everyone,” which works as an understated tribute to his recently deceased friend. Feeling no need to masquerade as an artist in his 20s, Clapton shows it's possible to act one’s age, and deliver music that overlooks current trends in favor grace and good taste.

I Need to Hear that Sound
Back in middle school, Eric Clapton changed my life. Up until then, I had listened to exclusively hard core gangsta rap. Than a tape trader friend of mine passed me along a copy of Slowhand and I quickly realized why people called him God. Shortly thereafter, Clapton participated in the legendary Unplugged series showing a different side to his already accomplished guitar repertoire. I have picked up every one of his new albums since then. Which lead me to today with the release, Back Home. The title Back Home can be linked to Clapton returning to more of his 60's sound of blues rock after his recent affinity for straight blues including last years album of Robert Johnson songs. Listen to the opening track, So Tired, Back Home can also mean being back home with his family, including his three young girls. The song chronicles the life a new dad who can't seem to take it in but at least, "momma's a natural." The song even features a baby screaming at the end. Clapton also rediscovered his love of reggae on this album, but instead of a Marley cover, he decided to write his own in Revolution. The slowed down song deals with a person who want to start a revolution not necessarily because he feels the cause deep down in his heart but rather because he has nothing better to do. The album does feature a couple cover songs including George Harrison's Love Comes to Everyone and the Stevie Wonder penned I'm Going Left. And just like B.B. King had Clapton come play with him, Clapton has brought in a few of his disciples to play on the album including John Mayer and the current king of the slide guitar, Robert Randolph. Steve Winwood and Vince Gill, who wrote One Day for the album, also appear along with Billy Preston who contributes on the keys throughout the whole album.
One of his Best!
As musicians get older their music changes. One cannot expect an artist to compose the same type of songs for the rest of their lively hood. With that said this Eric Clapton Album is one of my favorites. From songs such as Back Home, One Day, and Love comes to Everyone one can tell that Eric Clapton has really matured and created music that is going to be twice as good when played live. Eric Clapton has not lost anything, he has gotten better. People say that hes not what he used to be. That is true he is better. His guitar playing has never been better. This album really hits me as one of his best. Yes this album sounds very produced however thats ok because the music is just outstanding and I am absolutely tired of people bashing Eric Clapton. My advice is to go see him live. I just saw him in the Cream reunion at the madison square garden at the music raised the hair up on the back of my neck. With that said Eric Clapton is still getting better and better and I only wish people would see the light through the trees and not be narrowminded about his composing history.
Not Good, Not Bad either...
I give Clapton the credit. I mean, face it. The man can't write another "461 Ocean Boulevard" or perform another amazing Unplugged show. There's also no way he's going to keep making tribute albums to Robert Johnson for the rest of his career. Admit it, theres some standout tracks on here. "So Tired" is a pretty good one to start out the album, and I think "Revolution" was a great take on reggae/dub. Good job, Slowhand.
