Catchy title.

I'd have been more impressed if he called it Peter Gabriel, but that's been done to death.

Alan

Its about time he named an album ERIC.

So?

When I first saw this thread I thought it was about a re-issue of his first great album.

Sorry I brought it Up.

Alan

Me too.

He had similar hair on the cover of that one.

Don't worry, Alan -- things are cool between Us.

i think he should call it "clap daddy".

kids might buy it then.

Good - then I'll forget about quitting IMWAN and heading off to my own Secret World.

Alan

I was gonna use Gabriel's current album title, Scratch My Back in a rejoinder to Alan, but that would be inviting ridicule. I lack the Security to post such a thing.

Gabriel can Scratch My Ass with a Passion for all I care. Like a Birdy his career has taken a nose dive down but not Up.

Thanks for the update with the track list. I remember hearing George Harrison in an interview once saying how he wanted to record Rocking Chair with Eric Clapton. I wonder if they ever got around to that. I wonder what might lie in the vaults.

"autumn leaves"

????

I'm also wondering if it's the easy-listening standard, which was a #1 hit for Roger Williams in 1955.

jim,

he did "over the rainbow" on his last live album, so who knows, that's why i questioned it.

you probably have "autumn leaves" by rickie lee jones and rob wasserman

renny

Throw in Gene Simmons' take on "When You Wish Upon A Star" and we've got a killer compilation of mega-oldies here!

It's none of our business to care how Eric Clapton wears his hair.
It wouldn't matter to him how you wear yours.

My Very Good Friend the Milkman???!!

Hello all,

Just copied and pasted the following. I hate it when they do this!
