Advantages: A collection of fine music....
Disadvantages: None...

...I grew up listening to Eric Clapton and JJ Cale as totally different singers and always wondered what they would sound like if they came together and made music combining the two styles and I was delighted to find this compact disc in my favourite music shop.

Advantages: A wide range of superb songs on 1 great CD, brilliant value for money
Disadvantages:

...This is the latest release from the great musiscian Eric Clapton. I received this CD as a Christmas present and I can only thank the person who bought it for me. It has been in my CD player ever since I think. There are the timeless hits on the Cd such as Layla, Holy Mother, Wonderful Tonight, Its In The Way That You Use It and Running On Faith.

This is the best CD from Eric Clapton I have, although it is a shame he decided not to include Hound Daog on it. I would reccomend anyone who has not sampled Eric Claptons music to buy this as it is compulsive and is a great idea for a gift (as I found out).... Read review
