Me and Mr. Johnson Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Love it.
Comment: One of my favorite Clapton albums. Couldn't stand to hear "Wonderful Tonight" one more time but love the way he plays the blues. While purist Robert Johnson fans may object to anyone, anywhere reinterpreting the master, Clapton knows what he is doing. He just does it his way. Can't blame an artist for that and fortunately for us fans, we love him for it. This album is a different, more polished version than the DVD. I like them both for what they are. I try to listen to every version recorded of "C'mon in My Kitchen" and this album contains my second favorite version. Unfortunately Bonnie Raitt has never recorded her version. My only wish is that Clapton would record more albums like this one.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Mr.Clapton does Mr. Johnson credit..
Comment: Blues as we have learned to know it is a Robert Johnson "thang" and Eric Clapton being "God" only recreated a masterpiece.
Love, love, love this recording. It..does..both..justice.

Summary: Me and Mr. Johnson: a great blues collection
Comment: Mr. Clapton does a wonderful job on Mr. Johnson's songs. A top notch band as always, this time with Billy Preston on organ. Just a really great album.

Customer Rating:
Summary: R. Johnson must have come back as Eric Claton.
Comment: To most people Robert Johnson's legacy will live on forever. But with Eric Clapton taking ahold of these songs he has pushed Johnsons's legacy even further. I had goose bumbs from the first song to the last.
