Crossroads 2 (Live In The Seventies)

Search: Rambling On My Mind
by: Eric Clapton

Release Date March 25, 1996
The great, career-spanning "Crossroads" compilation was a box set that appealed to both beginners and hardcore Clapton fanatics.
"Crossroads 2 - Live In The Seventies" mainly appeals to fanatics.

Spanning four discs and consisting almost entirely of live material (there are a handful of studio outtakes), this music will enthrall completists and archivists, who will find a wealth of compelling performances here. But they will also find a fair share of mediocre, uninspired tracks, and four versions of Robert Johnson's "Rambling On My Mind".
No-one needs four versions of "Rambling On My Mind" by the same artist on the same album. And two of them were recorded less than five months apart.

This is almost all slow ... Read More:

EC Was Here

Search: Rambling On My Mind
by: Eric Clapton

Release Date September 09, 1996
This was Eric's first live album after his 1970s `comeback' and it's one of his best live efforts, up there with Just One Night and the Dominos at Fillmore.

After the relatively low-key guitar work on 461 Ocean Blvd and There's One in Every Crowd, this set has some cracking guitar, not only from EC but also from George Terry. The rhythm section is solid and Yvonne Elliman's back up vocals fit in well, particularly on 'Can't Find My Way Home'.

The remastered CD sound is superior to the old LP, plus it has the full version of the acoustic Driftin' Blues. The drum sound is crisp and much better than on, for example, Just One Night.

The album opens with a great version of Have You Ever Loved a Woman - complete ... Read More:

Otis Spann Is the Blues

Search: Rambling On My Mind
by: Otis Spann

Release Date October 01, 1999
'Otis Spann is the Blues' was Spann's first solo album, recorded in 1960 after Spann had spent many years as pianist in Muddy Water's band.

The album features some Spann compositions, alongside a number of blues standards. Spann seems to have been very fond of Maceo Merriweather's Worried Life Blues (how many times did he record it??) The version here is superb. Tracks such as The Hard Way, Otis in the Dark and I Got Rambling on my Mind are also particularly strong - although I wouldn't say there's a duff track on the album.

The album is also bolstered by Robert Lockwood Jnr. (Robert Johnson's stepson), who adds some mean guitar licks and/or rhythm to a number of tracks. Things really get going on Great Northern Stomp, where Spann and Lockwood ... Read More:

The Rough Guide to Chicago Blues

Search: Rambling On My Mind
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 25, 2003
A very interesting selection of well-known and not so well-known artists from the glory days of Chicago blues.
Smoky voices, chunky piano riffs, a splendid harmonica trio, some great blues guitar - what more could you want?
For anyone wanting to start exploring this particular city's blues history, I recommend this CD.
