My First Review (2006-03-03)  I guess it takes something really great to truly motivate. I read reviews. I don't write them. But I have to say this is a great album. You won't be disapointed.
Clapton's Finest Live Recording Sessions on DVD (2005-12-21) This is probably the best DVD of the Clapton collection, not only because of his supreme playing and singing, but also because of the fact that the production was intended for capturing Clapton's live recording sessions with the superb sound and video production shot on a very well designed Set for each session (one of them being the historic 508 Park Ave. Hotel). With the carefully structured interview, it's like watching a documentary on why and how Clapton took up the blues (also an insight on his admiration for Robert Johnson), and how well he understands and plays the blues. His playing is immaculate with fluidity and intensity (I'd want to see more of his extended solos but I think Clapton's approach to this project was the understated, yet very sophisticated playing which is how Johnson played) and the singing is his finest charged with despair and emotions. The DVD demonstrates how Clapton has improved (!) with his playing and is at his best. In my opinion, his acoustic playing has taken another level of excellence, even compared to the fantastic "Unplugged" concert. Evidently, Clapton practised and improved himself yet again. The sessions with his virtuous band are equally entertaining to watch and enjoy. First of all, his tone is just so perfect and he plays with such ease, yet his authority takes you aback to make you realize and marvel at what he is doing. As Nathan East states on DVD, the Sessions are definitely better than the record. As he did with his phenomenal "From the Cradle" album, all takes are live, most of them being cut at the first try. Clapton's prowess in performing is proven again, as well the band is just equally great (Doyle does a admirable job backing up Clapton). If you enjoy the blues and want to see how Clapton plays it, this will be the best thing you can buy to treat yourself. Session IHook End ManorCheckendon, EnglandAwesome, Clapton shows up to work in his Porsche Carrera 911 S; Very relaxed atmosphere; The band (Steve Gadd, Nathan East, Chris Stainton, Billy Preston & Doyle Bramhall II) plays effortlessly in sync.; Kind Hearted Woman Blues is just amazing. Session IIStudios at Las ColinasIrving, TexasKinda looks like a movie set with what could be a custom '30s Buick in the background; Flawless set Session III508 Park AveDallas, TexasIntimate setting- you can even hear a door creaking open during recording, I wonder if that was intentional to heighten the intimate feeling. Session IVHotel Casa Del MarSanta Monica, CaliforniaMr. Clapton and just his Martin acoustics; His finest acoustic solo performance captured on video. Whether it's intentional or by mixing error which I doubt, you hear some "rambling (noises)" on the track while he performs Ramblin' On My Mind, I thought that was cool.
The Crowning Jewel! (2005-01-16) The Crowning Jewel of Clapton's blues repertoire! Watch the DVD first.....then sit back and absorb the CD! Along with Me And Mr. Johnson Clapton pays an excellent tribute to Robt. J. For guitarists out there Clapton discusses on the DVD how he plays the Johnson material and those out there who have tried to play his tunes are familiar with the oddities. My only complaint is overlapping tunes from this and Me And Mr. Johnson. For me the best part is on the DVD where Clapton and Bramhall play in the old abandoned office building where Johnson recorded in the 30's......Bramhall on National Steel and Clapton on his Martin......pure blues bliss!
