September 13, 2000 GET A LIFE 13 Music Review Clapton Goes Riding With The King by Hannah Crane Staff Writer Take a blues guitar legend from down home Mississippi, a rock and blues guitar hero from England, mix a few old favorites with some new tunes and you get the latest from B.B. King and Eric Clapton, a collaborative album called Riding with the King. The basic premise is pretty easy to understand; Clapton, who first made it big in the sixties with groups like The Yardbirds and Cream and has enjoyed much success as a solo artist, has teamed up with his hero, a man who has carried blues into the new millennium, B.B. King, to show off their prowess and to try some new things. With that being said, it is difficult to judge this album, knowing that there are die-hard fans who will swear up and down that this album is solid gold. Ultimately, one cannot critique the artists due to their legendary status, but rather can make comments as to the selections chosen for this album, which arguably, could have been better. First, the good news; there are some songs on this album that are real jewels. The second track, "Ten Long Years," is just what is expected from blues legends. King starts out singing after a sweet guitar intra. He says "I had a woman/ She was nice, kind and loving to me in every way", so we know right from the beginning it is going to be an "Oh, have mercy!" song. Interestingly enough, the heavy guitar solo delivered in the song is not by King, but rather by Clapton, so it really shows their collaborative efforts. There is also a piano noodling in the background, echoing the sentiments of the guitar and vocals. Along that same vein is the song "Three O'Clock Blues" which actually hit number one for B.B. King in 1951. This song is eight minutes and 36 seconds of blissful misery put to the music of King and Clapton. It is probably the best number on the CD; it is one of those songs that catches the listener up into the instrumentation so that it is easy to feel that you have been transported to a roadside bar with poor lighting and the smell of stale cigarettes and beer. Yet, you are delighted to be there. Every time the song plays, there is something new. In other words, it has so much that you cannot hear it all the first time. It's no surprise that another beauty on the album is the song "Worried Life Blues". MCAT Taking the MCAT? Start Preparing Now! Weekend classes in Greenville Beginning September 23rd.

C. alleges. They recorded this song on acoustics, so it has that Sunday-evening-on-the-back- porch-in-September blues sound, not exactly joyfully miserable like the "Three O'Clock Blues", but more of an unwind after a busy day feeling. Clapton takes lead vocals in this number and King's back-up vocals blend quite nicely. The song "Days of Old" is a definite honky-tonk, toe-tapping number. It is not as rich as the previously mentioned songs, but it is on the list with the better songs on the album. Unfortunately, this album was a bit disappointing. Many of the songs came off sounding more like adult contemporary music rather than the joint effort of two blues legends. In other words, the instrumentation was close, but the heart was not in the right place. The remake of the song "Hold on, I'm Coming" was just not right. It was twangy, not smooth like some of the other songs on the album. The song "Marry You" makes a brave attempt at hitting us with a funky guitar right out of the gate, but it is too brash to be meaningful. For those of you who were anticipating a CD so fantastic that you are floored by its magnitude, it just did not quite make it. For those of you salivating to buy this album because you are loyal to Clapton, or King, or maybe your heart is with Lucille, fasten your seatbelts and go along for the ride because the CD is a piece of history that would be fine to have in your music collection. And for those of you who saw the headline and thought this was-going to be about Eric Clapton and Elvis, sorry, maybe next time.
