Episode 6 - Happy 45th Birthday Slowhand

Episode 6

Saturday, November 26, 2022 • Duration 37:30

I have finally got to episode 6! In this solo episode I take a look at Slowhand on its 45th birthday. It is one of the biggest selling albums of Clapton's career and features three of his biggest hits and live staples. I look at each track and consider where it sits in his wider catalogue. It is an album with which I share a close bond but does that make it my favourite solo album? As always I welcome your thoughts through our social channels.

Once again I am joined by Eric Mathews for a review of the recent 2 night RAH run and a look at some of the shows on the European tour.
