It\u2019s not often that such a diverse array of artists, from blues to southern rock, punk to country, can be gathered together under a single musical project. But there\u2019s one artist whose career has been so incredibly rich and whose influence has been so extensive as to make such a union possible. Of course, that artist is the brilliant guitarist\/songwriter\/legendary musical figure Eric Clapton who has inspired countless thousands of musicians of all stripes, artists of all colors and fans or all kind, including the incredible group of talented friends found on this brand new set of studio recordings,\u00a0A Tribute To Eric Clapton<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set to street June 17 on all formats including CD and vinyl, A Tribute To Eric Clapton<\/em> covers all the basis of Clapton\u2019s incredible career, from his early days in The Yardbirds to his stint in the groundbreaking power trio Cream to his time in the folk-influenced Blind Faith and finally to his monstrously successful solo career. Highlights include a smokin\u2019 hot take on \u201cCocaine\u201d by blues guitar phenom Kirk Fletcher, a fuzzed-out psych rock explosion with Stooges\u2019 guitarist James Williamson and The Damned\u2019s Rat Scabies fronted by the God Of Hellfire Arthur Brown as well as a twangy and gritty rendition of \u201cLay Down Sally\u201d by country legend Sammy Kershaw and \u201cMr. Telecaster\u201d Albert Lee, the latter of which is being released as a standalone single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
