Eric Clapton 2

He's quite an accomplished technician, but the vocals on his 'tribute' to Robert Johnson reveal him to be the Pat Boone of the blues.

I'd rate him better than a one, but I agree with your point that his long awaited blues projects have showed him lacking as a purist. He's always been a good blues-based rock guitarist who has made accessible pop albums, fine one at that.

I was going to give him a '2' until I re-read Loerke's review. Perhaps it's unfair to rate him based on his vocals and attitude, 'cause his guitar playing ain't that bad.

OK, you've convinced me to give him a '2' after all. And BTW, at least one of my 'FUNNY' votes came from a reviewer who agrees with me (I got an e-mail).
