Clapton Chronicles - The Best Of (Audio CD)

Customer Review

"Chronicles" (1999) covered the main Clapton singles from the albums, which ushered in his more pop-oriented phase, namely "Behind the Sun", "August", "Journeyman", "24 Nights", "Rush", " Unplugged "and" Pilgrim "(the blues album" From the Cradle "did not show up), up to the live version of Wonderful tonight in each of the uncut album versions, as well as the intimate unplugged version of Running on Faith and the '96 Single Change the World from the movie "Phenomenon".

In addition, it was the two songs Blue Eyes Blue (from the movie "Runaway Bride") and (I) Get Lost (from "The Story of Us"), at the radio-friendliness, I'll get used to, especially at a rock guitarists such as Clapton, never - the keyboards, the Background gals who synthetic keyboards, the tasteful acoustic guitars and especially the programmed drum parts were also other, faceless pop singers allowed for Clapton did not have to sing about it. Both songs have the handwriting of his producer Simon Climie recognize (even if he was not involved with Blue Eyes blue), which is also true for his album "Pilgrim", but since at least the songs were stronger.

I've already got the CD, therefore, because it contains my three Lieblinssongs from "Journeyman" (Pretending, Bad Love and Before you accuse me), which to this day still not remastered obtainable.

The song selection is very well done, even if I would have still well apart the '86s Single tearin' us in 73 minutes of runtime can imagine - perhaps in the live version with Tina Turner on her "Tina Live in Europe" CD. Viewed overall, the CD despite widespread rockigerer songs like She's waiting, Forever you, Pretending, Bad Love, Before you accuse me, It's in the Way That You use it and Forever Man a surprisingly calm mood, because simply dominate the ballads.

Two-thirds of the songs can be found now on "Complete Clapton" again so that this sampler is now perhaps more responsive collectors who Blue eyes blue and (I) Get Lost do, and those are not just typical Clapton songs. But I can only awarded 5 stars because of the quality of the music and the pleasant overall atmosphere.
