It is not the best blues-rock LP, to the Big Three: "Disraeli Gears", "Blind Faith" and "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" they do not come close but "Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton" is the most important panel. the genre. The blues-rock was begotten, but he was born precisely in 1966 when John Mayall's magnum opus came out. Mayall already drew the contours of the British blues with his two drives before, but the difference in 1966 was a guy named Eric Clapton, who then hired to play guitar with The Bluesbreakers. Later he was with the aforementioned LPs wherever you go. As linchpin in the sound concept of Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos "Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton" basically consists of blues classics. The best is undoubtedly the lead story "All Your Love", a standard of the two Chicago blues Masters Magic Sam and Otis Rush. These songs sound here but otherwise: Distilled from the black rhythm-overhang and slightly refined with British harmonies. Clapton plays louder, sharper, faster and longer than any of the classic blues guitarists. The remastering in this Polydor edition from 1998 is actually top notch, what you did not have to necessarily be expected if one knows about the matte remastered edition of "Disraeli Gears" that brought Polydor only three months earlier on the market.
