Here Clapton's signature blues-rock sound is the order of the day, as exemplified by the easy-going "Revolution," which riffs on the lyrics of the Beatles song of the same name, and conjures up the reggae-tinged vibe of EC's famous rendition of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff." Clapton's Beatles connection also pops up on a gentle cover of "Love Comes to Everyone" by his friend George Harrison. In addition to his longtime bandmates Doyle Bramhall II and Andy Fairweather Low (guitar), Nathan East (bass), and Steve Gadd (drums), who have an almost telepathic connection with Clapton, BACK HOME features contributions by John Mayer, Billy Preston, Steve Winwood, Vince Gill, and Robert Randolph. However, these artists never distract from Clapton, who is clearly playing to the strengths of his more pop-oriented side. |

(p.98)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "Clapton's playing is still fluid, his vocals remain convincing, and the songs range from a smouldering semi-reggae groove on 'Revolution' to a growling slow blues..." |
