Review

Rolling Stone (4/4/96, p.61) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...For someone who has continually protested that he is not really a bluesman, merely an impassioned student, Clapton tears into the big open spaces in these tunes...like he's truly born to the cloth..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/12/96, p.67) - "...Slowhand's solos are laden with sculptured grit and raw finesse, the heart-quickening freneticism of his '60s work now replaced by refined intensity. Where Clapton's vocals are often whiskey-rough, his playing is pure poetry..." - Rating: B+

Title Note

CROSSROADS 2 is a 4-CD box set consisting mostly of Eric Clapton's unreleased live performances from 1974, 1975 and 1978, but is bookended by four previously unreleased studio tracks: "Walking Down The Road" (recorded in 1974), "To Make Somebody Happy," "Cryin'" and "Water On The Ground" (recorded in 1978). The set includes a 44-page color booklet with essays, complete credits and rare photographs.

Personnel includes: Eric Clapton (vocals, guitar); George Terry, Graham Lyle, Carlos Santana (guitar); Marcy Levy (harmonica, background vocals); Dick Sims (keyboards); Carl Radle, Dave Markee (bass); Jamie Oldaker, Henry Spinetti (drums); Armando Peraza, Sergio Pastora, Leon Chancler (percussion); Yvonne Elliman (background vocals).

Producers: Tom Dowd, Glyn Johns, Jon Astley.

Compilation producer: Bill Levenson.

Engineers include: Karl Richardson, Ed Barton, Bill Brovas.

Recorded in the U.S. and the U.K. between May 1974 and December 28, 1978. Includes liner notes by John McDermott

Chock-full of blistering live performances drawn exclusively from the Tulsa-based band Clapton used during the "me" decade, CROSSROADS 2 is the antidote to his mostly laid-back, sleepy studio performances of the era.

With nearly 5 hours of music spread over 4 discs, CROSSROADS 2 never becomes redundant or too much of a good thing--a true testament to the power and fury of Clapton's excellent songs and fiery verve. Smoky vocals and truly inspired guitar workouts serve both his well-known hits and the sometimes obscure blues-songs he chooses. A 24-minute medley duet with Carlos Santana from '75 burns with passion and excitement. The album is bookended with 4 studio outtakes, with 1974's "Walkin' Down The Road" and "Cryin"--recorded four years later with the nucleus of Slowhand's next band--reflecting a more contemplative mood. A terrific set that entertains, surprises and delights, and an essential item that any Clapton connoiseur will treasure.
