Albert Lee! Still rockin at 80! Saw him at the Falcon in Marlboro NY, May 2024. His voice is still strong, and his piano skills are also amazing. So glad I saw him. Nice guy too!
Yeah Slowhand missed a chance to do a good timey Chas Dave Albert Lee pub rock album but instead went full tilt into Phil Collins glossy pop...get back to the music hall Eric!
I am both a player .a huge Clapton fan and also a huge fan of Albert lee . Albert would cut most players in half . He is in another league . Check out his version of cocaine .
@@timacosby Clapton as a bit of a miserable git, and at the time was either using heroin or just coming out of it. He was never known for his joviality!
Very stylish guitarist with good song. His guitar weeps in tears in heaven, sings in "wonderful to night . Some folks wrote JH jammed him without knowing what is guitar . This man is unparalleled in his style with voice of blues. He is the only guiraist who palyed with everybody from Lennon to Knofler, BB, Freddi kings , winwood, paul, Harrison, Gray and so on, on. Highly accomodative as he is great individual and great team player. Long live Clapton .
Eric and JJ Cale were very good friends. After JJ passed away Eric did a memorial video for him. I think he also did a album called Road to Escondido for JJ's memory.
Love Clapton here...his last great studio album and tour....Money and Cigarettes....with Albert Lee.....I despised his commercial sellout at the hands of top 40 schlockmeister Phil Collins....the 80's haircuts...the suits dressed up like a half assed Robert Palmer...that hideous cheesy 80's synth sound....loved him from 1970 -83 the most....From the Cradle was a welcome relief....throwback...
Those are fantastic albums....Clapton was influenced by those guys....and boosted their careers and exposure to many who never knew about them...Clapton's best period....the contrasting styles of E.C.and Albert Lee...between.....79 -83.....awesome...
@@FenderTele Yes, I'm aware of Tulsa Ok. But the subject is about Eric's songs with Female names. So Tulsa Time. just dosen't fit in the subject matter at hand; notwithstanding Tulsa Time is a good song.
The singer always gets the main camera, that's how it is. Why would you show the band all the time or any part of it when you have a singer of the caliber of Eric Clapton?
