Album of the weekend

Eric Clapton-Unplugged

Mellow out with the master of the guitar. Eric Clapton is one of the greatest guitar players in history. While his change from hard rocking God to music you would want to take a nap to isn't my style, that doesn't mean this album is bad. It's probably the best of the MTV Unplugged series but again, when you have the greatest guitar player in history it's impossible to create a bad album.

All the songs on this album are unplugged, that doesn't mean it's all slow or doesn't have the rock style. The version of "San Fransico Bay Blues" on this album is outstanding, innovative and the song certainly has the "rock" sound. You also have the famous "Layla" perhaps one of the best songs ever written about unrequited love out there. The unplugged version of this song has the same kind of intensity that all great songs do, in a totally different style.

Unplugged at it's finest...
