Review title: Back home, now stay home!
Product review: Sure, the musicianship is solid, as is the studio production but it's dreadfully missing good guitar work, creative energy, memorable tunes and innovation that once marked this wonderful musician.I came away feeling really cheated, Eric sounds tired and uninspired.It seems the only band left from that "by gone era" that is still making "vital" rock music is Deep Purple, just check out their new album Rapture of the Deep. It's rock music with something to say, lyrically and musically. Simply brilliant! The release of Back Home is confirmation that Eric Clapton of today is no longer a artistically viable artist. But, it's not the final nail in the Clapton coffin, just a novelty, crawling at a turtle's pace.With two of my favorite artists moving in polar opposite directions, I'd just as soon watch Clapton retire and Deep Purple continue to unfold.Eric Clapton/Back Home: 1 1/2 starsDeep Purple/Rapture of the Deep: 5 stars
