Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: For a man renowned for his sartorial elegance and the most prudently maintained facial hair in rock, you'd expect One More Car, One More Rider--Eric Clapton's first live album since 1992's zeitgeist-capturing Unplugged set--to be full of well-tailored highlights from his biblically-proportioned (well, some people still call him "God") back-catalogue of bristly, well kempt blues. And of course you'd be absolutely right. Recorded in Los Angeles and Tokyo during his 2001 world tour (the simultaneously released DVD of the same name is taken exclusively from the Los Angeles show) and featuring the musical accompaniment of such luminary hired-hands as Andy Fairweather-Low and Billy Preston, it's an album that serves to satisfy both the Clapton purist (there's a four-song segue of tracks from Pilgrim, shorn of their original anodyne synthesizer embellishments) and the adult popsters who prefer their blues from the decanter rather than the bottle ("Tears In Heaven", a sublime "Bell Bottom Blues" and a rather poised, applause-ridden "Layla"). It's a shame that the solo-slot extemporisations of Reptile--Joe Pass meets George Benson meets Weather Report--arrive a little too early in the main course for the listener to prepare for full-on mastication. And there also remains a minority of people for whom "Wonderful Tonight" is the biggest pre-coital turn-off this side of farting in bed (or "Lady in Red" by Chris de Burgh). However, such pallid flaws are only trifling grievances for One More Car, One More Rider is an engaging live document that finds Clapton far from asleep at the wheel. --Kevin Maidment Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I Like ItNow, I wouldn't call myself an avid Eric Clapton fan - yes I like some of his early work, but in total I only have four CD's (including Derek & The Dominoes and Blind Faith) and the unplugged & sessions for Robert Johnson DVD's. So, listening and watching (I have the 2 CD + DVD edition) this in a "neutral" capacity I was thoroughly impressed by the contents. The tracks are varied and yes, do include the big hits you would expect (Layla, Tears in Heaven etc.) and, there are great renditions of Badge and Bell Bottom Blues. The playing is tight from a collection of extremely talented and experienced musicians with Billy Preston delivering vocals on one of the end tracks. So it's five stars from me. Rating:  - Clapton goes through the motionsEric Clapton has made some great live albums, particularly the superb "Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert". This is not one of them. He and his band play very well, sure they do, but they're certainly not playing the blues. Instead they manage to turn everything they touch into slick, lounge-like pop songs with not an ounce of grit. If you prefer Eric Clapton in his 90s balladeer's guise, you'll probably like this album just fine. Nothing wrong with that. But if you like Eric Clapton the bluesman, and have gotten your hopes up by the inclusion of songs like "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Have You Ever Loved A Woman", you'll be sorely disappointed. Almost everything is done in a bland, unbearably mannered fashion, with not so much ... Read More: Rating: - Just wanted to agree . . .There is definately not the rousing feel to this album's beginning, as has been mentioned. It will take 2 or 3 listens to get it, but rather than hit you over the head witha blooz explosion, EC invites us in with a laid-back "Key To The Highway" & rolling "Reptile". From there on in he surprises us. Sometimes with acoustic rather than electric. Sometim with the style of the music, sometims with the track choices. Nothing wrong with that either. Personal faves include, "River Of Tears"; " . . . Little Girl"; an excellant "Badge" & "Got Yo On My Mind", this one with a surprise, laid back vibe. So, give it a chance. Mr Clapton has reached the stage now where he could put on a show which would be different ... Read More: Rating: - Stick with it!Don't be put off after hearing the first few tracks. As good as they are, they aren't quite what you expect from an opener to a Clapton gig. To say that it's a tame start is something of an understatement. The music itself is good - with stand-out tracks being Change the world and Tears in heaven. But if you're wanting to hear some of that fantastic Clapton fire on the fretboards, you have to wait until towards the end of CD1 - Father's Eyes and She's Gone in particular. There's also a wonderfully soulful River of tears - you can picture Eric losing himself in some of the solos he plays here. Better still slot CD2 in first. Here is EC at his finest - Badge, Have You Ever and Layla are the main stand-outs. Layla in particular has a wonderful ... Read More: Rating: - Surprisingly sprightly and inventiveAs a long-time fan of Clapton, I was pleasantly surprised that this effort exceeds my expectations. For once, the output comprises excellent musicianship, and a loose feel. While not quite smokey blues, it has some funky, inspired moments. It's enhanced by the occasional fluffed note from Clapton -- he's taking a few chances. Highlights include a lively acoustic Key To The Highway, a joyful My Father's Eyes, a blustering River Of Tears and a manic She's Gone. Even tired favourites like Wonderful Tonight have a new twist. The multi-soloist HYELAW is another refreshing change from the plain blues-rock version. The sound is first class, and the only criticisms I have are a poor version of Layla on the CD (the DVD version is much better), ... Read More: |
