Unplugged is Eric Clapton’s sixth solo live album. Recorded in front of a small audience at a film studio in Windsor, it’s an all acoustic performance, and is notable for its versions of “Tears In Heaven”, a song from the Rush soundtrack that Clapton wrote about the tragic death of his son Conor, and for the very different version of the Derek & The Dominos classic “Layla”. The album has been hailed (wrongly, in my opinion) by many as his greatest album, likely because of the emotional period it represents for him. There are some great moments here, but most of what you get is the worst incarnation of Clapton: acoustic and JJ Cale-ish laid back to the point of snooziness. The album has been highly praised and has sold over 10 million copies in the US alone. The playing is exceptional, with Clapton being joined on guitar by Andy Fairweather-Low and on keyboards by Chuck Leavell. But Unplugged breaks no new ground, and is, as are most of Clapton’s laid back albums, best described as safe.
The big hits are not the best tracks. “Tears In Heaven”, while highly emotional, lacks any kind of punch and was beaten to death for years by amateur guitar players in coffeehouses everywhere. The rework of “Layla” is puzzling…Clapton turns it into a kind of lazy shuffling mess. Most of the rest consists of a different setting for his number one love…the blues. “Alberta” is nice, while “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out”, another Dominos song, is the real highlight of the show. The days of the flashy and explosive Clapton died with the death of Blind Faith, but his playing here is, as always, excellent. Overall, Unplugged is…again…safe, but it still sounds really great in spots, making it worth having. But if you’re going to go for this, get the DVD for the full effect, as well as six additional tracks you won’t hear on the album version. [First added to this chart: 05/16/2012]

interesting to see i'm not the only person here to include both brenda kahn's "epiphany in brooklyn" and kristen hall's "fact and fiction" in the same list :-)
