Rush by Original Soundtrack (CD, Jan-1992, Reprise)

I bought this after watching the movie. All thru the movie I was thinking I like this music. I watched the credits and saw that Eric Clapton had composed and performed all of the songs. Not a surprise to me because I am a huge Clapton fan. I checked Ebay and found one. Great seller. After getting the CD and listening to it I thought this would be a great background for a movie but, It is Clapton all the way. Very relaxing. Alot more instumental rather than vocal until the last. Tears from Heaven is really good. I would recommend it to any Clapton fan.

CLAPTON ALWAYS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the everlasting classic guitar blues of Buddy Guy to the newer classic blues of Eric Clapton, "Rush" is one of the best guitar blues CDs I own. My wife and I attended Clapton's three day, 2004 Crossroads Guitar Festival held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas where Buddy Guy was one of Clapton's main guests. It was a whos-who of guitar blues greats! While this CD is just a sampling of all of the the wonderful music from the "Rush" movie, it's an assortment of guitar blues that is very hard to beat. Even though there are some great cuts from the movie that didn't make it onto the CD, including Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" which was used to open as well as to close the movie, the ones that made it are absolutely great! If you like guitar blues at all, this is one of the very best examples to own. I give it a 6 out of 5!

In the 80's, when our son was a "wanna-be' rockstar, I heard Eric Clapton's songs over and over. I liked them all, but never had a personal interest in any of them.

I also knew that Eric lost a young son in a fall and had written a song for him called "Tears in Heaven", which was beautiful. Little did I know that in 2007, our daughter would die suddenly, and that same brother who listened and learned the guitar from Eric Clapton would be playing and singing the same song for his sister at her funeral.

I had to have a copy. It has help my husband and I heal every time we play it. We have a long way to go, but the album "Rush" and this particular song we be with us always.

The Rush SOundtrack is a cd I really like, I am a Eric Clapton fan and when I went on Ebay and bought the Cd from the ebay buyer. It was such a great deal and the shipping was fast. I personally like to buy my cd's from ebay, one: because of the price, two: because I don't have to the time to go out and buy it, and three: I am always happy with my purchase.
