"my father's eyes" is the first clapton i ever remember hearing. my instant reaction was "wtf, this guy is famous?" still kind of have that gut reaction to hearing his name even tho i like the yardbirds, cream, and a couple of derek & dominos songs.

that song is basically Clapton saying "I want to beat mike and the mechanics at their own game" a decade too late instead of taking inspiration from chicago blues or jj cale or w/e.

His latest song I like is "Promises" from 1978, unfortunately released two years after his racist rant.

I remember some DJ running down the top 40 when buzzcocks had hit with "Promises" but played the wrong record

Good thing he didn't change "Lay Down Sally" back to "Orgasm Addict".
