Eric Clapton - EC Was Here [Audio CD]

1. Have You Ever Loved A Woman 2. Presence Of The Lord 3. Driftin' Blues / Rambling On My Mind 4. Can't Find My Way Home 5. Ramblin' On My Mind 6. Further On Up The Road uk A 1975 live album that found Clapton at--if you'll pardon the expression--a crossroads, E.C. Was Here marks the line of demarcation between the guitar hero of the past and more song-oriented player he'd become for the second half of the 1970s. Clapton breaks out on a couple of old Blind Faith numbers--"Presence of the Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home"--that reflect his soulful, spiritual side, while "Further On Up the Road" rocks out and Charles Brown's "Drifting Blues", restored to its full eleven-and-a-half-minute length on the newly remastered version, presents another instrumental showcase. There are only six tunes here, but EC leaves his indelible mark on each of them. -- Daniel Durchholz
