Sessions: Eric Clapton. Every Album, Every Song

Since 1963, Eric Clapton has contributed to two hundred albums by other artists, from the very famous to the obscure and the unexpected. Those names include as varied as Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, Sting, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Martha Veléz, Jonathan Kelly, Corey Hart, Stephen Bishop, Hawkwind, Ray Charles, Kate Bush, The Tony Rich Project, Toots and the Maytals and Mary J. Blige. If you’ve never heard (for instance) ‘Beat of the Night’ by Bob Geldof, ‘Sexual Revolution’ by Roger Waters or ‘I Wish It Would Rain Down’ by Phil Collins, this book tells you about Eric’s part in those recordings and many more, as well as his more notorious collaborations with the likes of all four of The Beatles, Bob Dylan – and Ed Sheeran! Indeed, this book puts these into context across nearly sixty years of documented sessions. If you’ve never delved into Eric’s contributions to other artist’s recordings, then this is a handy guide to help the reader find their way into such a lengthy and successful second career. If his own albums are the main story, then these recordings run alongside, making an alternative history of one of rock’s most prolific musicians.
