If this were your first exposure to Eric Clapton, a bit of bewilderment would be in order. This is the legendary guitar icon? This is (as his early apostles once proclaimed) God? Ranging from the mid-'80s through the late '90s, The Clapton Chronicles owes less to the groundbreaking blues-rock of Clapton's '60s and '70s classics than to the polished-to-a-glare pop of Phil Collins, who produced one of the tracks included in this 14-song anthology. His reinterpretation of his greatest recording--the once-gripping, now-placid "Layla"--perhaps best illustrates Clapton at middle-age: Who wants to bask in his darkest period? Not Clapton, who converts his surging, purging charge into a soothing stroll. And perhaps not fans of such docile MOR fare as "My Father's Eyes," "Tears in Heaven," and the two new tracks, "Blue Eyes Blue" and "Get Lost." --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars Sandi's review.......2007-01-12

I truly enjoyed the Clapton Chronicles. It is a very good mix of some of his best music. It seemed as though he was going back in time, from current emotions back to his youth. Love it!!!

5 out of 5 stars This is Eric's Best.............2007-01-03

Not much more to say than I Love Eric Clapton and this is a great BEST c.d. to own.

5 out of 5 stars hes the greatest.......2006-11-10

i love every song on this cd. my money was very well spent.there wasnt just one or two songs i liked. i loved them all! eric clapton is one of the best.

5 out of 5 stars Clapton brings it home.......2006-11-06

It's Slow Hand at his best; what else does anyone need to know?
There's plenty of classic rock in "She's Waiting", "Bad Love" and "It's in the Way that You Use it" and a gentler, more reflective Clapton in "River of Tears", "My Father's Eyes" and "Tears in Heaven". For the fans of Runaway Bride, you can find him crooning the beautifully sad "Blue Eyes Blue". A personal favorite of any newly broken heart. Clapton's voice is both dusty and silken at times; soothing with just a little edge to it. Not a song on here you wouldn't pay a lot more to hear.

5 out of 5 stars Soulful, Funky and Soothing.......2006-08-31

Eric Clapton speaks to the heart and soul and makes you smile and bop every time you listen. He takes you out of your current space and into other places, leaving you enriched by the journey.

      5 out of 5 stars The best of Eric Clapton.......2001-11-08

      Eric Clapton
      One of the more important guitarists in rock history, Eric Clapton has over the years become the most reluctant of guitar heroes. This makes choosing his best albums a dual task of seeking out particularly thrilling displays of his instrumental prowess as well as acknowledging the other talents he brings to the table as a credible singer, a fine songwriter, and an immensely gifted interpreter of others' songs.
