24 nights - blues

"The vibe is (...) electric on the blues portion as Robert Cray, the great Chuck Berry pianist Johnnie Johnson, Albert Collins, Jimmie Vaughan, and a stage monopolizing Buddy Guy, among others, join Clapton tearing into 14 generally archetypal covers. Everyone on stage is smiling and the spirit is contagious as Clapton hands over the spotlight to his guests for a few songs, although Guy's incessant mugging and notorious attention-hogging gets tiring. Clapton looks at home here, not surprising considering his deep blues roots".

"The 14 tracks (...) see Clapton taking a supporting role to either keyboard player Johnnie Johnson (star of "Johnnie's Boogie"), or guests including Albert Collins (notably on "Black Cat Bone") and Buddy Guy (brilliant on" My Time After A While")".
