Out To Lunch - Eric Dolphy

Advantages: This is a live peformance
Disadvantages: It's not a triple album

...One More Car, One More Rider by Eric Clapton When this album came out I hadn't made my annual pilgrimage to see Mr Clapton for a few years as he seemed to be taking a break. So I was having withdrawal symptoms of live music at its best and that's what you get from this artist his best at every performance. So it was with great relief that I received this CD for a present for Christmas 2003. . Although in 2004 I saw him at the M.E.N. in Manchester. When putting the CDs on I would make sure you're not interrupted as this is a live CD. Tracks on the first CD Open with a sit down set. 1. Key To The Highway - written by William Broonzy and Charles Seegar - This song kicks the album off and it is one of the best and most covered blues. Most famously by Brownie McGhee & Sonnie Terry.

Disadvantages: Not long enough

Advantages: Awesome CD with some of Johnson's best songs
Disadvantages: Nothing that stands out.

...These songs have grown on me. Everytime I hear them I notice a subtle nuance or expression in Eric's music that truly showcases his excellence in guitar. Although his CD's are long time in coming, they are certainly worth the wait. From my personal favourite SRV with it's blistering hooks, through to the Jazzy Wes Montgomery style Manhatten, Eric's talent is truly second to none.

If you're looking for a guitarist CD that is top of the world class, there is no other option - This Texan Guitarist is number 1 on my list, and will be for ever.... Read review
