    As everyone who follows me knows, I do not really buy the Myth of Eric Clapton (okay, outside of the LAYLA album). Here's one song where I buy it. It's not even the guitar solo, it's what he does on that final verse as Winwood sings.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBoYPNhSQO0 …

        By the way, speaking of Steve Winwood, it amuses me to no end that this song was written, performed, and recorded by a 17-year-old extremely white British kid, and every single member of Motown or Stax/Volt would have given their eye-teeth for it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=W_ykpby0yag …

        Steve Winwood began his professional musical career when he was FOURTEEN. He was just some kid from Birmingham England who mysteriously sounded like the sweatiest, most impassioned chitlin-circuit R&B/soul shouter to ever crawl out of the Deepest South. Just one of those things.

        Seriously now, Winwood took the old blues trope of "I'm A Man" and wrote an entirely different song about it, turned it into a massive rock-pop smash, and he was..18 years old:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwHOjhXVHkk …

        And now, my ultimate dad-rock confession: I will always love this song. It is so "Eighties" (right at the start of the decade, it helped define the sound in a lot of ways) and I don't care. It's relentless, the hooks don't let you go:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHnFy9ZlxJc …

        Yeah. I'd rather not see either dead, but if I had my way Clapton would have told SRV "tough luck". IMHO SRV was/ is far more talented.

        But then SRV is lost on most people, they think it's a foreign car model or some form of Cadillac.

        I’ve never been a big fan of Clapton, but his performance on Roger Water’s obscure solo album in the 80s was brilliant. https://youtu.be/HI4bz0OvQ8A

        The guitar solo on this son (starting at 2:18) is a masterpiece.

        I got his album Backless stuck in my car's cassette player in high school. It was the only thing I could listen to for six months or so. I never got tired of it.
