Query: Top Notch Clapton Album

This one of Clapton's better albums, picking up where August left off. His guitar playing on this shows why he's one of rock's best. The vocals are strong and inspired. He has a great band backing him including Nathan East, Steve Ferrone, and Phil Collins. Most of the songs are hard rock with a few blues rock songs and mellow song or 2. Bad Love, Pretending, Anything For Your Love, and No Alibis are the best songs on this CD. No laid back country-rock here like there was on his late 70's albums.
