Eric Clapton - There's one in every crowd

Eric Clapton - There's one in every crowd.  This is his follow-up to 461OB.  So there no avoiding comparing it to that masterpiece.  I find that when playing a record and reviewing the liner notes and the entire record jacket and album cover is to note where the record was made, and what studio.  This one was made in Jamiaca, at Dynamic Sound Studios, in Kingston.  Some of the Stones' Goast Head Soup was recorded there too.  I also found out that Dynamic Sounds Studio has it's roots firmly set in Jamaica's history. It was the first state of the art studio there and Bob Marley chose to record the bulk of his seminal 'Catch A Fire' album there and many others have tried to catch some of that reggae magic and emulate that sound.  Back this record, TOIEC, Eric reassembles George Terry, Jamie Oldaker, Dickie Sims, his favorite bass player Carl Radle, and Yvonne and Marcy on vocals.  This record is one of Eric's best solo effors, with it's understated lines and pacing, apparently, everyone was pretty high while making it.  Ironically that is the name of my favorite songs on the record: side two, track 4.
