Running on faith (Eric Clapton) (LP 507)

Eric Clapton Journeyman (CD, Reprise, 1989) *** 

Genre: Blues 

Places I remember: Another CD inherited from Lindsay Hope

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Bad Love

Gear costume: Running On Faith, Run So Far

Active compensatory factors: Widely acknowledged as a return to form at the time, Journeyman has a lot of good songs. Quite a few of the tracks ended up on the Unplugged setlist - which is a good indication of quality.

Note of caution though: there's a whiff of the lingering eighties production values throughout, with the drums and synth sounds. Shudder!

Beatles completists please also note: George Harrison appears on one track - Run So Far, playing some trademark guitar and doing some harmony vocals.

Where do they all belong? And that's it for Eric on CD in my collection.
