Eric Clapton

Before Eric Clapton took the stage at the Royal Albert Hall on May 20, 2015, he had recently released his album 'The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale' in 2014. This record was a heartfelt tribute to his friend and fellow musician, JJ Cale, featuring Clapton's signature bluesy twist on Cale's classic tracks. Clapton's performance of 'Crossroads' at this prestigious venue showcased not only his guitar prowess but also his enduring passion for live music, even after decades in the industry. It's fascinating to note that Clapton has been at the forefront of guitar playing for over 50 years, continually evolving while maintaining that raw emotional edge. This performance was part of a series of concerts that celebrated Clapton's deep musical roots, further solidifying his status as one of the greats in rock and blues history.
