Title: Good Album
Review: Eric Clapton's debut solo album is fun, enjoyable but lightweight. While the compositions are solid none have the depth of his best work (such as Layla and his Cream albums). The performances are solid, Clapton's vocals are strong (for Clapton)but his guitar isn't showcased quite as much as one would hope. The backing band keeps in line but producer Delaney Bramlett choses arragnements that give too much space to the band instead of Clapton's expert playing. That said, the production here is solid, faithful, acoustic, and natural early 70s, without the bombastic AOR slickness that plagued many artists in the upcoming years. Not Clapton's very best release but one of his best solo records and an enjoyable and fun album.
