Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
This blues album is simply outstanding, a true master at work! The song choices are fantastic, and his playing is filled with such passion. The tones are incredible too... it's unbelievable that you can find this CD for such a low price.
Curious about what cart, table, and preamp everyone's using to get those amazing Sonics reviews. It's sounding a bit loud and squashed to me. I recall the digital being more open and detailed, but the music is still incredible, no doubt about that.
Incredible vinyl pressing. Audio quality is top-notch. Strongly suggest this to all Clapton enthusiasts
This album is absolutely one of my all-time favorites, and it might just be my top pick among Eric Clapton's studio albums, with Derek & The Dominos' "Layla (And Another Assorted Love Songs)" coming in at a close second. Released way back in September 1994, ‘From The Cradle’ is a phenomenal compilation of sixteen blues classics and covers, originally crafted by legends like Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, and Freddie King. Clapton breathes new life into these tracks with a passion and intensity I'd never heard from him before, except perhaps in a few songs from his live album ‘Just One Night’, and I've never encountered that same raw emotion in any of his later recordings, with only ‘Me & Mr. Johnson’ coming close to matching this level of authenticity. Throughout this album, Clapton's voice growls and soars, and his guitar, except in the more subdued tracks like ‘Third Degree’, ‘Driftin’’, or ‘How Long’ and the more rhythmically driven ‘Motherless Child’, crackles with pure energy. Standout tracks like ‘Five Long Years’, ‘Hocchie Coochie Man’, ‘Blues Leave Me Alone’, ‘Sinner’s Prayer’, and especially the breathtaking renditions of ‘It Hurts Me Too’, the intense ‘Someday After A While’, and the closing ‘Groaning The Blues’ are among the most powerful blues interpretations, or songs in general, that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, and they've left an indelible mark on me.
Fantastic press and record. Audio is incredibly lively. Thrilled to own this piece in my collection.
