Product Description

Rolling Stone (1/4/01, p.113) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000".
Rolling Stone (7/20/00, p.136) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A commercially astute meeting of like minds, hearts and voices. There are times...when Clapton's sandy aging tenor is virtually a mirror image of King's gritty bellow..."
Q Magazine (8/00, p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[A] roof-raising R&B party, delivering a mix of classic and contemporary tunes....there's plenty on offer here for anyone with a passing interest in the [blues]..."
Entertainment Weekly (6/16/00, p.90) - "...On this triumphant collaboration, the 2 cross-generational masters take on...the blues in its many guises....'father' and 'son' find plenty of common ground." - Rating: A
Jazz Times (10/00, p.72) - "...A brilliant blues-drenched CD..."
Mojo (7/00, p.106) - "...A program stuffed with serious blues in which the principals reawaken even such sleeping dogs as 'Key To The Highway' and 'Worried Life Blues' - both done exceptionally....This is a slow-burning fire with hours of warmth in it."
CMJ (7/10/00, p.24) - "...[Their] chemistry is uncanny as they tear through every avenue of the blues....a union of prodigal father and son as magnanimous as any in rock'n'roll."

クラプトンはやはり、ブルースだよ。私のようにクラプトンを聴いて、ブルースにのめり込んだ者にとっては、B.B.KINGとのコラボはたまんないね。クラプトンの人生そのものが、ブルースだしね。やはり、ブルースは良いよ。ブルースを含め、R&B、ゴスペルなど黒人音楽は心に染みるね。本当に良いよ!

Eric should have included some of his own originals, instead of utilizing previously recorded materials. Pretty interesting versions of established favorites though, like Key To The Highway and Worried Life Blues will rekindle the interest of even the casual blues listeners. A decent album though, if not for the less than ideal B.B. King vocal quality.
