By the time Eric Clapton launched his solo career with the release of his self-titled debut record album in mid-1970, he was long established as unmatched of the world's major rock stars ascribable to his radical affiliations -- the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, and Blind Faith -- which had demonstrated his claim to beingness the best stone guitar player of his generation. That it took Clapton so long to go out on his have, noneffervescent, was grounds of a arcdegree of reserve unusual for one and only of his height. And his debut record record album, though it spawned the Top 40 strike "Afterward Midnight," was typical of his reticent approach: it was, in effect, an record album by the grouping he had late been featured in, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends.
Non surprisingly, earlier his solo debut had regular been released, Clapton had retreated from his solo stance, assembling from the D&B&F ranks the personnel office for a group, Derek & the Dominos, with which he played for most of 1970. Clapton was largely inactive in 1971 and 1972, due to heroin habituation, just he performed a comeback concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London on January 13, 1973, resulting in the album
Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert (September 1973). But Clapton did not launch a sustained solo calling until July 1974, when he released
461 Ocean Boulevard, which topped the charts and spawned the number one single "I Shot the Sheriff."
The theatrical role Clapton established over the following decennary was less that of guitar hero than orbit rock star with a failing for ballads. The follow-ups to
461 Ocean Boulevard,
There's One in Every Crowd (March 1975), the live
E.C. Was Here (August 1975), and
No Reason to Cry (August 1976), were less successful. But
Slowhand (November 1977), which featured both the herculean "Cocain" (written by J.J. Cale, worldly concern Health Organization had likewise written "Later Midnight") and the shoot singles "Lay Down Sally" and "Howling Tonight," was a million-seller. Its follow-ups,
Backless (Nov 1978), featuring the Top Ten film "Promises," the live
Just One Night (April 1980), and
Some other Ticket (February 1981), featuring the Top Ten shoot "I Can't Stand It," were all big sellers.
Clapton's popularity waned somewhat in the start half of the '80s, as the albums
Money and Cigarettes (February 1983),
Behind the Sun (March 1985), and
Venerable (November 1986) indicated a certain calling stasis. But he was buoyed up by the discharge of the loge place retrospective
Critical point (Apr 1988), which seemed to remind his fans of how great he was.
Craftsman (Nov 1989) was a render to stage. It would be his last new studio phonograph record album for almost little Phoebe days, though in the interim he would stomach greatly and enjoy surprising jubilate. On March 20, 1991, Clapton's four-year-old word was killed in a fall. While he mourned, he released a live album,
24 Nights (October 1991), culled from his yearbook concert series at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and inclined a film soundtrack,
Hurry (Jan 1992). The soundtrack featured a song written for his male child, "Tears in Heaven," that became a massive come to single.
In March 1992, Clapton recorded a concert for
MTV Unplugged that, when released on an album in August, became his biggest-selling record of all time. Two long time later on, Clapton returned with a blues album,
From the Cradle, which became one of his to the highest degree successful albums, both commercially and critically.
Crossroads, Vol. 2: Live in the Seventies, a box set chronicling his alive form from the '70s, was released to miscellaneous reviews. In early 1997, Clapton, charge himself by the nom de guerre "X-Sample," collaborated with keyboardist/producer Simon Climie as the ambient new age and trip-hop couplet T.D.F. The duet released
Retail Therapy to mixed reviews in early 1997.
Clapton retained Climie as his collaborator for
Pilgrim, his first record album of new material since 1989's
Journeyman.
Pilgrim was greeted with emphatically mixed reviews upon its spring 1998 press release, just the album debuted at number four-spot and stayed in the Top Ten for respective weeks on the success of the single "My Father's Eyes." In 2000, Clapton teamed up with old friend B.B. King on
Riding with the King, a sic of blue devils standards and material from present-day singer/songwriters. Another solo picnic, entitled
Reptilian, followed in early 2001. Three long time later on, Clapton issued
Me and Mr. Johnson, a accumulation of tunes observance the Mississippi-born bluesman Robert Johnson. 2005's
Back Home, Clapton's fourteenth album of original material, reflected his simpleness with fatherhood.
The Road to Escondido from 2006 opposite him with the man behind "Cocain" and "Later Midnight," J.J. Cale.
