Advantages: Powerful, upbeat, superb recordings Disadvantages: Not long enough
To be honest, I am not at all a fan of Eric Clapton! And to be quite honest, being only 18 myself I don't even know who Delaney and Bonnie are. I am told by my dad that they were part of a group called Delaney and Bonnie and friends which once featured many different people, like, the genius that is Eric Clapton.
I accidentally started listening to this as it was on random in my dad's CD changer in his car. Immediately, I liked the first song 'Things get better' I found it a very upbeat song which was the song that made me listen on. I think it was a really happy, feel good song, and I didn't expect it to be so fast and energetic. I hadn't really heard much of Eric Clapton before and what I had heard was different to this song.

Advantages: Great Guitars, Great Vocals... Disadvantages: Other Albums Don't Compare
Its screams Clapton...but who are Delaney and Bonnie?
Well they would be Delaney Bramlett and Bonnie Bramlett, once a husband and wife singing duo. Delaney Bramlett was previously in a band called The Shindogs and Bonnie was an 'Ikette' with the legends Tina and Ike Turner.

The Couple went on tour with Eric Clapton in the late 60s. They supported Claptons band 'Blind Faith', though it is said Clapton became more of a fan of them then his own group. So he later ...
Advantages: Some decent Southern blues Disadvantages: Too technical and not enough feeling
Perhaps a little ironically, there is a gap in Clapton's recent "Complete Clapton" album; a gap which Delaney and Bonnie's "On Tour With Eric Clapton". Clapton had toured with Delaney and Bonnie with hisband Blind Faith, but finding himself at a loose end after they split up, he opted to join them again to keep his hand in. He must have enjoyed the experience, as he later took some of the band he played with here and recorded with them as Derek and the Dominos; a band to whom the original version of the Clapton classic "Layla" was credited.
The title of the album was an obvious attempt by Delaney and Bonnie to cash in on the fame of their new found friend, as even by as early as 1970 Eric Clapton was becoming an internationally known guitarist. By comparison, Delaney and Bonnie had already been dropped by two record labels ...
