Eric Clapton truly sold his new album From the Cradle with his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, but those expecting the same firepower to be in evidence here will be disappointed. Indeed, the outing is merely a history lesson that traverses a number of different blues artists in a rather blasé fashion. Sure there are a few solid tunes on the endeavor (such as Five Long Years, I'm Tore Down, and the acoustic Motherless Child), but the reality is that no new ground is tread. What's surprisingly worse is that what is covered is by far inferior to the initial blues excursions of Clapton in conjunction with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, and Derek and the Dominoes.  In short, while this is far from Clapton's worst effort, it certainly isn't his best.

From the Cradle is available from Amazon.com.
