Sessions for Robert J

BBC - Classic Rock/Pop Review - Eric Clapton, Me And Mr Johnson (1412 words)
Me and Mr Johnson is Clapton's open acknowledgement to the Mississippi blues master Robert Johnson; a man Clapton says has influenced him all his life.
Me and Mr Johnson will appeal to his AOR audience after a bit of authentic as much as it will to staunch blues fans hungry for digital-age renditions of Johnson standards.
Of course, Clapton is interpreting Johnson's music as he thinks/feels is correct and respectful to Johnson's vision, but there are moments where one is anticipating Clapton to really open up his playing, to allow his emotions rather than his technique to dominate, but this doesn't always happen.
