Full review
Being an old blues buff my current lady bought me this CD as a present. It is a golden addition to my collection which has many titles by these maestros of melancholy guitar. There are many re-makes of classic blues numbers that either artist has recorded. The CD culminates with a rendering of Come rain or Come Shine which seems to cement the friendship of these old masters. Across each track Clapton shines with a white man guitar style that contains more notes than the Bank of England. King is King, and his style is typical B.B.Blues. Both artists have voices that seem to have rounded with time, and mellowed with the years. If you are a fan this CD will give great pleasure. If you are new to the blues or either of these fine musicians, then you will hear what can be acheived by decades of practise, and a spot of genius.
