Another borrowed from Robbie.
Recorded earlier in 2011.
I reckoned I already had enough Clapton in the collection, but his collaborations seem to be going from strength to strength.
Eric picked the songs, and Wynton picked the band & arranged the songs. This is Blues as played by '20s Louisiana Jazz bands. The songs are almost entirely vintage covers, with only Layla making the cut, of Clapton's work. Taj Mahal appears on the last two songs.
There's a tambourine solo included ?!
This is a stunning album, where everyone sounds like they're having the time of their lives...
AllMusic 4/5 stars.
