Description:

A journey to the roots of Eric Clapton's music, dissecting and researching the music he loved! Listen to the roar of the men who enchanted Clapton! Eric Clapton's first solo album "50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" will be released in August this year. Following in the footsteps of the great man, All Days Records' popular "THE SEARCH & THE ROOTS MUSIC Series," which has focused on numerous artists, has also been launched with this news. This compilation focuses on the original blues numbers that Eric Clapton has covered in the past, which should be called "his own roots. In addition to being an excellent blues compilation, it also establishes itself as an excellent Clapton research item. The commentary is by Nagata Shikago, a leading blues researcher in Japan, and we hope you will enjoy this work with this excellent compass in hand for exploring the origins of the blues.
