Editorial Review: Amazon.com: It sounds like the beginning of a story: "So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues were riding in a car ..." If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top down and the stereo blasting. Clapton and King may be more city than country, but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes from a pair of veterans doing what they do best. What they do here is cover 12 classic blues songs, many of them staples of King's repertoire, so the title of this album makes sense. Whether it's the rollicking rock & roll of the title track, or the acoustic shuffle of "Key to the Highway," or the sweet notes of "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer," a real sense of pleasure comes through on this album, the kind of pleasure one gets from jamming late at night with a good friend. --Genevieve Williams Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - How you "crossover" wit styleNot completely a crossover album, since Clapton is almost as closely associated with the blues as is King. But the age difference, difference in era, styles and voice types makes this a unique project. Most interestingly is the heavy, "opinionated" musical styles of both artists. At times, there is an ungraceful colliding of voices as beef smacks up against beef. But instead of being uncomfortable and strange, it's like a couple of blues masters jamming together. It's the guitarists who will likely find this album most interesting. The combination of steel & acoustic styles and sounds blend into a sweet sound, requiring only a snare drum and organ (Key to the Highway) to make it the perfect accompaniment to the ...

I particularly love the first five tracks on this disc, with the opening title track, Key to the Highway and Three O' Clock Blues being my favorites. The rest of the cd isn't bad, but for me, the first half of the disc is so strong, that I rarely make it to the end. That's the biggest problem I have with this cd and it's really not a problem at all. Rating:  - Good for chill'in not really groov'inGreat compilation of relaxing blues toons. Unfortunately relaxing is all you'll get here. I would have enjoyed it a little more if it had included a couple of toons that had made me want to get up and move a little though. Rating: - Great music!!!I was totally excited and pleased with this purchase, I have always loved both these artists. Rating: - Not perfect, but pretty closeEric and B.B. are so good that it is easy to overlook this album's short comings. Most everything works well, making this a great collaboration between two musical giants. |
