This album is from Eric Clapton the English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most successful and influential guitarists in rock music. After playing in a number of different local bands, Clapton joined the Yardbirds from 1963 to 1965, and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers from 1965 to 1966. After leaving Mayall, he formed the power trio Cream with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic rock. After four successful albums, Cream broke up in November 1968. Clapton then formed the band Blind Faith and later Derek and the Dominos.
