As the '80s drew to a close, Clapton's lifestyle included fraternizing with models and wearing designer suits to go with stylish haircuts. Amid all this jet-setting, Clapton released JOURNEYMAN, an album that found his songwriting involvement limited to cuts co-written with Foreigner's Mick Jones ("Bad Love") and Robert Cray ("Old Love"). Respected producer Russ Titelman twisted knobs as a number of famous guests contributed to the creative process. Old friend George Harrison contributed guitar, harmonies and a song ("Run So Far") while Clapton's band from AUGUST (Greg Phillinganes, Nathan East, Phil Collins) are also present.
Although the slick production of most of Clapton's '80s work is evident, his passion is far from lacking. "Running On Faith" finds Slowhand looking deep inside himself as a gospel choir chimes away in the background. On Ray Charles' "Hard Times" Clapton reminds listeners that heartache is around the corner. The sweet nothings whispered in "Lead Me On" are made that much sweeter by the harmonies of Cecil and Linda Womack. E.C. also manages to have a ball with a shuffling "Hound Dog" and a rollicking take on Bo Diddley's "Before You Accuse Me."

    This CD is one of Clapton's best. I think he chose a collection of songs that he was able to add his magical feel to. Being one of the most respected musicians in the world. This album really shows his understanding of different genres. His guitar tracks on this album are superb and flawless. world class standards for record producing for the guitarist have been set. I recommend this album as a must for anyone who appreciates music theory and composition.

    This CD has some of Eric's best music. I have liked it from the first time I heard it. One song in particular, "No Alibis" is a song I identify with due to some personal feelings when the album was first released. I owned a copy of this disc but my son had lost it. I looked all over and was unable to find a copy. When I saw it here on EBAY, I just had to bid on it. Even though this item is used, it is in excellent condition. I am extremely pleased to have won this item. To be able to sit and listen to this music again is wonderful.
