Title: It's the Same Old Song ... Literally
Review: If you've liked any of Clapton's work in past 25 years, you'll like Reptile. Same thing, new package. There's no question that Clapton is talented guitarist (wildly overrated, but talented) and still fairly interesting for the 40+ set who still think he's "groovy" much in the way the previous generation thought Liberace was "one hep cat." Aside from the well-executed Son & Sylvia, this is a fairly predictable, paint-by-numbers exercise.If you don't have a lot of exposure to Clapton, do yourself a favor and check him out in his prime (30 years ago folks!) with Derek and the Dominos during the "Layla" era or 461 Ocean Blvd. There's a lot of great Clapton out there. Virtually all of it is pre-1980.
