Project:   Eric Clapton is one of the World’s pre-eminent Blues/Rock guitarists. His story spans five decades, from The Yardbirds in the mid sixties, via John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, the seminal Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends and Derek And The Dominos, culminating from the early 70’s in his career as a solo artist. His latest collaboration has him paired up with one of his greatest musical inspirations– JJ Cale, on their first ever full length album together– The Road to Escondido. In a true collaboration, Cale and Clapton jointly produced and recorded the album, each playing and singing on the tracks. Cale wrote 11 of the songs, Clapton wrote “Three Little Girls,” John Mayer wrote “Hard To Thrill” and the duo cover the blues classic “Sporting Life Blues.” Press Results:   Press coverage included national news such as Rolling Stone, USA Today, CNN, Reuters, New York Times, CBS News, Variety, and the Associated Press.
