I don't think anyone would argue that he's not a great guitarist, it's just that his musical sensibilities have always been squarely traditional and even a bit conservative. Has he ever really experimented with genre or form in the way that his contemporaries like Townsend, Beck, and Page did?

It Hurts Me Too is a song that Tampa Red recorded on 10. Mai 1940 in Chicago for Bluebird. It has been coverd many times and changed at one point to a song called: when things go wrong with you it hurts me too. My absolute favorite Version is the one by Caren Dalton, 1969 I believe. 

 
 
More Elmore James, please.

Nothing makes me want to hit mute more than hearing a phlegmy-throated singer ...

I completely agree.  I'd forgotten how much I really liked the album when it came out.

Not sure that EC is overrated, but this song is.

Agreed. I bought this CD when it came out and saw him in tour for this show. Clarence Gatemouth Brown opened the show and reminded me what the music was about. Haven't listened to Clapton since.

We'll still like you even though you're wrong.

Omg, first SRV and then Clapton? All we need to finish the Holy Trinity is BB King!

Clapton's best album since Cream's Wheels of Fire IMO.

This particular song is a cover of an Elmore James song, if
I'm not mistaken. Elmore James was known as the blues king
of the SLIDE guitar. :p

Great CD (although I think Eric's voice can't quite decide where to go on this song). Also check out his Riding with The King CD.Edited By justlistening at 11:11 am on 3/21/2003
