HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ANGLOPHONE SECTION, vol. 4: Eric Clapton
(Derogation from the usual review of Italian talents, bands, or solo artists. This time we are going with the Anglophone, come on, shall we say that not only in Italy are musical careers carried out in an unworthy and disgraceful manner that once paved the way for everyone?)
Dear friends, welcome to the tenth installment of a pleasant little column that, I warn you, should be taken in small doses and on an empty stomach. Inspired by excellent DeBaser users who occasionally indulge in a bit of self-induced vomiting, here I am to present a few selected listens concerning the disgusting side of the output from some Anglophone groups or solo artists who truly made their mark in Music History, once offering quality music with potentially international appeal, only to later descend into the mire of a subpar discography that left them mostly unrecognizable to the ears of their former fans.
Let the foul trumpets sound, here we go...
A couple of listens to demonstrate how even Slowhand, whom I count among my all-time favorite Artists, went through a middle-age phase roughly coinciding with the '80s/90s, during which he deliberately set about demolishing, through a discography worthy of a ragged landing sock, all the good, excellent, and let’s say, indispensable work he had built between the early '60s and the mid-'70s. I won’t remind you of his merits nor will I enumerate the seminal bands he was part of, which helped refresh the blues and hybridize it with rock until it became a unique genre....
Be warned, this one is really awful.
