Title: Lackluster Effort
Review: Behind The Sun was Eric Clapton's attempt to "modernize" his sound. Calling on Phil Collins to produce, the album has a contemporary 80's feel, with a slick studio production that all but stifles his blues roots. The album opens up with "She's Waiting" which is a very good song that is accentuated by the fife and drum coda. But after that, the album falters with bland music including one of his all time worst songs, the calculating "Forever Man". The album is revived for a bit by the strong "Just Like A Prisoner" in which he lets loose on the guitar. By associating with Mr. Collins, who was super hot at the time, Mr. Clapton assured himself of getting some airplay, but the collaboration fizzled in the quality end.
