The best comes at the very beginning: a strong Shuffle ("When You Got a Good Friend") and a terrific slow-blues ("Little Queen of Spades"). Later, there is still a beautiful version of "Kind Hearted Woman". The rest I find rather weak. Too much rattling and honky-tonk-strumming, at least for my taste. On Billy Preston on keyboards we could have done without. Against a strong performer of the ex-Muddy Waters sideman Jerry Portnoy (Blues Harp). He gives the whole the touch of authenticity. For a long time I took the view, no one would have better understood than Robert Johnson Eric Clapton. After this album, but I'm no longer so sure.
