Clapton, Eric - Old Sock

Eric Clapton is playing favorites. Literally. On Old Sock, his first new studio effort in three years, the legendary guitarist covers ten of his all-time favorite tunes, hitting upon a diverse set that includes reggae (Peter Tosh's "Till Your Well Runs Dry"), standard jazz ("All of Me"), and, of course, the blues (Lead Belly's "Goodnight Irene").And he's brought along a few friends for the ride. Paul McCartney sings and plucks the bass on "All of Me." Drummer Jim Keltner sits in on "Our Love Is Here to Stay." R&B icon Chaka Khan lends her pipes to "Get On Over." Old pal Steve Winwood hits the organ on "Still Got the Blues." And longtime collaborator J.J. Cale
