What's "Southern Rock"? It's said that music is a little better with a little Country in its Rock, and a little Rock in its Country. And so we find our Saturday Redneck introduced to Eric Clapton.
Back In The Day, there weren't musical genres, and more importantly marketing types to segment and re-segment the musical market. Back In The Day you'd hear all sorts of bands on the radio, from Credence Clearwater Revival to Johnny Cash. Eric Clapton keeps that spirit alive today. He cuts across genres, from rock to blues to country to salsa. He's the living incarnation of music is music, and does it with his friends.
His friends today are Albert Lee, Jerry Douglas, and Sheryl Crow. I'm afraid that if you don't know who these people are we probably can't be friends anymore.
And there are only 39,000 views of this on Youtube? Sorry Youtube, we can't be friends anymore.

What? No love for Vince Gill?
Jason Boland & the Stragglers did a great cover of this on High in the Rockies. I love this song, but I'm never gonna be a Clapton fan.
He's simply amazing... bottom line...
