Yeah, I love this- listen to that meaty, manly, muscular, majestic guitar right at the very start. Clapton is ROCK!! His regally golden nuanced touch, that most sensitively expressive intimate connection between finger and string, and his growling, soulful, broodingly intense vocal are in full bloom on "From The Cradle". From roaring rock regales to intimate acoustic ballads, Eric delivers his usual virtuosity with a supreme confidence and unforced understated style.
I also recommend "One More Car, One More Rider" which is a live album from a similar period, which also shows a sobered mature Clapton on fearsome form.
