Thank you, thank you and thank you! I had this album (actually a cassette) many years ago, I don't know how I came about owning it and nimble headed me didn't pay attention to which album it was...but it contained my favorite Eric Clapton song....it was always in my car and when nothing good was on the radio I play it. Then one day the time had come to get rid of my sixteen year old beater (man, the road trips that car took...lol) and that tape happen to be in the deck and I forgot to check the deck before it went to the junk yard. I've searched many of his albums looking for the song but failed to come across it, I'd never thought to plug in Blues Before Sunrise. Thank goodness I remember this song was on that album!
Love the instrumentals segment of the song. I saw Robert Cray many years ago here during what we use to have termed Blue on the Mall hosted by a local radio station every week during the summer. They still have it but it's basically been banished to a stadium parking lot across town. With gentification came change, with time so did the blues in a way, it went more towards a rock-blues and attracted a somewhat different younger crowd whom the powers to be determined just wasn't the crowd they wanted downtown on a weekly basis.
Hey @sunlit .. hope you've been well? Keep missing you, but if you don't mind I certainly don't! I'm currently (regularly) working away on a Tuesday and getting back late Wednesday .. but it's always nice to return to some great music, and you've certainly done us proud this week! Can't beat a bit of Clapton!! Following Ginger's death, I've been revisiting a lot of the Cream back catalogue .. so to hear some of Clapton's solo work is greatly appreciated! Excellent choices, thank you for the music my friend .. a listening pleasure! :)
Hey my friend, hope you've had a good week. Awesome choice this week, funnily enough I was only watching "Mannish boy" (from the gid he did with the Stones) a few nights back. Blues woven into his very soul, makes it look effortless :) .. Thank you for the music @ricia .. a great choice!!

Hey @Sunlit7,
Glad to help out ;) I posted this here a while back as a favourite Clapton, so maybe you will like it too.
