here is a link from a local radio station for a short movie about the making of the CD. It sounds great. I will be picking it up soon.

Bought this one today. It's not what I was expecting but it's not all bad either. It's a little slow starting but around song 5 it starts to pick up so if you do buy it don't give up on it too soon.

It's more of a JJ Cale type release then an Eric Clapton one. Actually most of the songs were pinned by JJ and the ones Clapton wrote are more in the style of his 2 Robert Johnson CD's.

I'd give 3 out of 5 stars. No where as good as his BB King duet CD.

A guy that I work with said the exact same thing. He's gonna let me take it home this weekend so I can have a listen. I'll let you know my report when I'm done. I'm familiar with both artists, but not a huge fan of either. We'll see :D
