Fugazzi Grand III : My Top 500 Albums (#27)

(#27, From the Cradle by Eric Clapton)

You probably wouldn't guess that this was Eric Clapton's first all blues album.  What also makes this album unique is that it is technically a live recording.  These tracks, with the exception to "Motherless Child" were recorded live, and were not tracked in the traditional sense.  When I started making this list, I came back to this record, to see if I liked it as much as I did 20 years ago, and it turns out I do.  Considering there's really not a lot of blues on this list, for this to rank #27 says a lot about how I feel about this recording.







Take a listen to "Five Long Years" and "I'm Tore Down" ...
