推荐我自己喜欢的一张专辑ME AND MR JOHNSON
发行公司：Warner Brothers
音乐风格：Modern Electric Blues（现代电子布鲁斯），Blues-Rock（布鲁斯摇滚），Contemporary Blues（当代布鲁斯）
吉他仍然是这个世界上最具摇滚气息的乐器，刚过59岁生日的世界第一布鲁斯吉他大师Eric Clapton的专辑当然是这一领域最受关注的作品。这张专辑是Eric Clapton三年来推出的唯一一张录音室专辑，一张纯正的布鲁斯专辑，一张向给予他无限灵感的早期布鲁斯音乐先锋Robert Johnson致敬的翻唱专辑。这张专辑再次给唱片市场带来了布鲁斯情怀，发行首周便以12万8千张的成绩排在了Billboard 200排行榜的第六位。
Eric Clapton坦言Robert Johnson这位英年早逝的早期布鲁斯传奇英雄是对他影响最大的布鲁斯吉他大师，Eric Clapton曾经把Robert Johnson比作是自己音乐生涯中的坐标，他曾经在早期音乐生涯中就经常翻唱Robert Johnson的作品，并且在成名之后也经常翻唱这位布鲁斯先驱的作品。Clapton在这张完全的致敬专辑中也是重新翻唱了Robert Johnson的14首作品，并且在专辑命中也是保持这对于前辈一如既往的崇敬，以宾格称谓自谦。原本这张专辑定于3月23日发行，但是随后改在了59岁生日那天3月30日发行。
Eric Clapton曾经在70年代之后不断的试图改变自己的风格，几度中断他最吸引人的布鲁斯音乐发展，在上世纪80年代末90年代初重新赢得了应有的地位之后，Eric Clapton便又重新拾起了布鲁斯音乐，不过仍然经常改变风格，这张专辑就是他自从1994年的布鲁斯专辑《From the Cradle》之后第一张自己的真正的布鲁斯专辑，尽管他在2000年与布鲁斯元老B.B. King合作发行的《Riding With The King》同样令人印象深刻，但是这张专辑才是Eric Clapton十年来的首张布鲁斯作品。
但凡是Eric Clapton的作品，吉他演奏就绝对不会令人失望，而他的布鲁斯专辑几乎每张都是无可挑剔的作品，这张致敬专辑更是如此。在这张专辑中，单曲时间都不是很长，因而想要像现场作品一样沉醉于Eric Clapton充满灵感的solo并不充分，不过在这张专辑里诸如《If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day》这些单曲中，我们可以再次体会到这位吉他大师熟练流畅的riff，而为Eric Clapton担任乐队的仍然是Eric Clapton的老同事——吉他手Andy Fairweather Low与Doyle Bramhall II，贝斯手Nathan East，键盘手和口琴分别是Billy Preston和Jerry Portnoy。这张专辑是Eric Clapton和他的伙伴们为乐迷们带来的又一张经典作品，只要Eric Clapton坚持布鲁斯风格，那他永远都是最出色的。

It's impossible to overemphasize the importance of singer-guitarist-songwriter Robert Johnson's contribution to blues music. The same can be said of Eric Clapton, one of Mr. Johnson's most dedicated interpreters. From his work with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers to Cream and beyond, Clapton has arguably attracted more widespread attention to Johnson's music than any other living musician. A decade after his all-blues From the Cradle (which included no Johnson material), Clapton jumps into the icon's catalog with both feet by covering 14 Johnson tunes. With a stripped-down veteran band that includes such longtime associates as drummer Steve Gadd, keyboardist Billy Preston, and harmonica ace Jerry Portnoy, the guitarist attacks these songs with passion, intelligence, and a refreshing lack of blues-rock pretense. From the upbeat jump of "32-20 Blues" and "They're Red Hot" to the slower, grinding "Little Queen of Spades" and "Milkcow's Calf Blues," Clapton acquits himself well, eschewing his slicker inclinations with arrangements that underscore Johnson's rawest tendencies--although perhaps he doesn't seem sufficiently terrified when walking with Lucifer on "Me and the Devil Blues." Still, this is a successful and admirable return to his roots, one that will hopefully introduce an even larger audience to Johnson's seminal work. --Hal Horowitz
