Review title: OK... a little bit of a let-down...
Product review: I'll be brief and blunt. The new EC disc is slick, clean and rather pedestrian. I have been a loyal follower and fan of EC since first hearing Cream on L.A.'s first free-form FM radio station in the mid-late 60s. I believe he has always been, and is now, a stellar artist. So, it's not without some perspective that I opine on this recent effort. The references to family are great in a scrapbook or photo album. On a record album? I think no. After realizing that what I heard in one of the cuts was a baby crying back in the mix, I really had a hard time going through the remaining material. It's a little too sappy. It's wonderful he is happy and I suppose for some (many?) it's pleasing to hear that happiness echoed in his music. I'll lay out on this one and hope the next time he gets a bit grittier. (No, I don't believe his material has to be dark or that he has to maintain the "tormented artist" persona but this is a bit too far up on the happy-meter).
