If you've been wondering when Eric Clapton's going to deliver more new music, your wait is over. EC is back in action, set to release a new album called, oddly enough, Old Sock. The record is coming out on Clapton's own label, Bushbranch Records, and it'll be distributed by a boutique label called Sunrfdog, which also handles Brian Setzer, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, and the legendary Glen Campbell. Old Sock will be available on CD and as a 2-LP vinyl set. Not sure why, but Surfdog says that the March 12 release date is “tentative,” although you can pre-order at online music sites.
Hard to tell what exactly the new stuff sounds like, although it's a safe bet Slowhand is sticking to the rootsy blues sound we've heard from him on his last few releases. Here's the track listing:
1. Further On Down The Road
2. Angel
3. Every Little Thing
4. The Folks Who Live On The Hill
5. Born To Lose
6. Till Your Well Runs Dry
7. All Of Me
8. Still Got The Blues
9. Goodnight Irene
10. Gotta Get Over
11. Your One And Only Man
12. Our Love Is Here To Stay
The other big Clapton news is that his tour kicks off on March 14 in Phoenix. Unfortunately for us in the Northwest, the tour goes east from there and heads to Europe in May and June. If he decides to add another leg and come west, or northwest, you'll be the first to know, if you join the club.
