That is freaking cool!

As to the new album, I love the playing and production values. The music's good, but I think the lyrics are a bit...I dunno. Lazy? But that will not stop me from buying the HDTracks version of course.

Because I love me some Clapton.

I've listened to it 6 or 7 times already. I'm diggin' it, cuz I love me some Clapton too. Just curious if it's the actual lyrics, or the vocals that are getting to you? There are only two Clapton originals on the CD, but I think I get where you're coming from.

Caught the "I Still Do" special again. One thing: When the men are chatting around the table Eric says he's using a 'Vibrolux' in the studio to keep volume down. Interesting is that when you freeze frame the two amps that are setup, one is the 12 watt EC Tremolux and the other right in front of it is the 5 watt EC Vibro-Champ with a cable plugged into it. Proving one thing, Clapton can take the 5 watts a long way to getting just the right amount of 'drive' with the Strat to make it sound like, well, Clapton. Here's the wiki link about the studio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Grove_Studios

Sucks balls! I read something where he said he was having nerve issues with his fingers. The picks form the sessions for his new album looked funky gross. Getting old blows.....
