About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Eric Clapton's Unplugged was responsible for making acoustic-based music, and Unplugged albums in particular, a hot trend in the early '90s. Clapton's concert was not only one of the finest Unplugged episodes, but was also some of the finest music he had recorded in years. Instead of the slick productions that tainted his '80s albums, the music was straightforward and direct, alternating between his pop numbers and traditional blues songs. The result was some of the most genuine, heartfelt music the guitarist has ever committed to tape. And some of his most popular -- the album sold over seven million copies in the U.S. and won several Grammies. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

A nice low key live albumby JohnQ

July 25, 2009: There are some sweet cuts here and, in the aftermath of the tragic death of Clapton's child, a heartbreaking version of "Tears In Heaven". This is not an essential album, but certainly a good one.

January 01, 2006: Unplugged revived Clapton’s career when it was first released. After being an electric guitar god for 30 years Eric went acoustic and had a huge hit. On guitar he was unremarkable compared to acoustic virtuosos like Doc Watson or Leo Kottke. What carried the CD was his singing. The songs had a gentle, wistful tone that wears well. Many of them were covers of blues giants like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. Others were revamped versions of his own songs (Layla, Tears in Heaven). They all fit together into an integrated hour concert. It wasn’t quite peak Clapton but may have been his last great moment.
