One of the very best efforts of his career!!Review created: 07/12/08
by:

This record though it has some points when it slows down a little is a remarkable effort. I read once that he had finished the vocals and returned to Europe and sat with it. Then realized that perhaps he could do better, he could push himself further. So he went back into studio and did so. The end result is staggering. The vocals are far and above anything he has done prior. A new high in his career. In the south they call really singing with feeling and heart "diggin' into the gut bucket". Eric achieves this in spades. Sometimes he will do this live, but at least for this release, he pushed the barriers and his own to achieve an outstanding result.
If you like Eric, and there are many periods in his long career, and you have not yet heard this, you must. You can always list it on ebay if you don't like it. I think you will!!!

I purchased this cd by Eric Clapton with little trouble at all and received it within that week and it came from Washington! The cd is in excellent shape as well.

On the 17 of March 1991, the affectionately known, Slow Hand From Surrey , Mr Eric Clapton released an album entitled Reptile. No, not a collection of songs denoting our scaly skinned friends but a very personal and affectionate album dedicated to his uncle Adrian, who died a year before this album was produced. Clapton is renown for reflecting on his roller coaster life through his music. Using personal highs and lows throughout his life, he has brought us insight, wisdom and inspiration over his extensive career proving to us that his a human being with ups and downs just the same as the...

Eric Clapton is really a chameleon. I also believe that makes him an amphibian, not a reptile. But that aside, this album is a very different mixture than what would be called the Clapton formula. On this disc, Eric tends to lean to the R

A Chameleon of an AlbumReview created: 05/05/01

If Eric Clapton's 1998 effort "Pilgrim" was the attempt to "record the saddest album ever" that Clapton claimed it to be, then Clapton's newest effort "Reptile" must be his attempt to make the happiest album ever. With the exception of only a couple of songs, the album is chock full of upbeat numbers, especially the rocker "Superman Inside." Clapton does not attempt to break much new ground on "Reptile," but instead revisits old territory with a new passion and the wisdom that only years can bring. Clapton revisits everything from his childhood love of R

I ve been a big Eric Clapton fan since a good friend of mine introduced him to me via the Unplugged album. I ve since played that one to death practically. (Some day I d like to be able to play at least half as good as this guy!) For this album Eric is backed by a very talented crew, consisting of: Drums Steve Gadd Bass Pino Paladino
