RE: NEW Clapton CD with Jerry Portnoy

["Smith, Richard" <rismith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I previewed this new Clapton CD at Barnes & Noble, and 
I was a bit disappointed.  It's definitely worth buying
because - - hey, it's Clapton.  But my impression was that
Jerry Portnoy's harmonica playing was very much soft, and 
subdued, and way in the background.  I found it hard to 
hear, because it didn't jump out at me.  Admittedly, my 
ears are 52 years old, but I don't think it's just me.

Richard J. Smith, R.A.

Have you listened to the NEW Eric Clapton CD 
"Me and Mr. Johnson" ?

It came out on March 30, 2004 and you might like 
hearing the harmonica parts on it. 

It features harmonica ace Jerry Portnoy along with 
Steve Gadd (drums) and Billy Preston (keyboards), 
Nathan East (bass), and Andy Fairweather Low (guitar/vocals).

Clapton covers 14 old blues numbers by Robert Johnson 
(singer-guitarist-songwriter) on this new CD.

You can hear five sound clips of it on www.amazon.com

Yours in Music,

Richard Axtman
