CLAPTON, ERIC

Eric Clapton pays a unique tribute to seminal blues innovator Robert Johnson on Me And Mr. Johnson. Long known for his love of deep blues, Clapton's expression of Johnson's music stands alongside the Englishman's strongest achievements, and ranks as one of modern blues' most moving accomplishments.

Me And Mr. Johnson features Clapton renditions of fourteen of the twenty-nine songs written and recorded by the mythic Mississippi blues master over the course of his brief career in the 1930s. Robert Johnson is often called the greatest blues man of all time, someone who not only inspired Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and other Chicago urban blues titans, but also was a huge influence on the Rolling Stones and the Allman Brothers Band in the development of rock & roll during the 1960s and 1970s.

Produced by Eric Clapton and Simon Climie, Me And Mr. Johnson features the following Robert Johnson perennials: "When You Got A Good Friend," "Little Queen Of Spades," "They're Red Hot," "Me And The Devil Blues," "Traveling Riverside Blues," "Last Fair Deal Gone Down," "Stop Breakin' Down Blues," "Milkcow's Calf Blues," "Kindhearted Woman Blues," "Come On In My Kitchen," "If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day," "Love In Vain," "32-20 Blues" and "Hellhound On My Trail."
