"The lesser known follow up to Slowhand. Clapton covers Dylan (twice), JJ Cale (as usual), and "Tulsa Time". A forgotten Clapton album, much better than many of his other efforts."

"Recorded during the same sessions as Unlimited Love but somehow it's not even close to being on that same level. Maybe it's just too much Chili Peppers too soon and a lot to take in? Perhaps but for me this is the most disappointed I've been by them."

"There are synths, computer glitches, etc., but nothing like on "Hack" (except for stand-out track "what's on your mind?"), my information society entry point. They must've figured out that was their strength during record company promotion because the "walking away" album version isn't as dressed..." [More]
