Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
@heavyrocker I think that’s a fair comment. I do think though that history will view Clapton as one of the greatest composers in this genre of all time so a difficult guy for anyone to equal. The fact that he’s written 2 versions of the “same” song in Layla that are as good in their respective electric rock and acoustic genres is an example. Hendrix likewise.
Mabye that’s why a guy like Gary Clark jr comes on the scene billed as a blues-man but his albums are very much more fusion/soul/r&b with a blues influence (to my ears anyway).
Walter Trout’s post liver transplant album “Battle Scars” is a good example of solid song writing and meaningful lyrics within a typical blues form. I’ve seen him live a couple of times and he means every word/note. He tends to joke about the depressing nature of songs from that album before he starts!
