In Roberty - Complete Recording Seesions Eric has this to say:
"I just played guitar. It was part of the score. The actual robbery scene, which is quite early in the film was where Anne Dudley, who was the lady who wrote the music, wanted some guitar playing. I was just playing a part that she has already written down for a guitar. It is not very long but is quite effective."

THE KINGDOM OF ZYDECO by Michael Tisserand (Arcade isbn:1559704187)
....Dural [aka:Buckwheat Zydeco] was invited to England to play Island Record's 25th anniversary concert. When Fox [manager Ted Fox] and Dural arrived at the venue they received word that they had been bumped to make room for a jam by Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr. But the manager had intended this night to be Buckwheat Zydeco's coming-out party, and he reacted quickly. Dural's Hammond B-3 organ was still set up, and as the rockers launched into the set, Fox grabbed the stage manager and insisted that Buck join them on stage. Recalls Fox: " So the guy's got a flashlight, we're going through the backstage and tripping over cables and stuff, and the organ was up on the back. Buck said, 'No, you got to come out and sit on the bench with me.' Ringo is like six feet away on the right, and he's looking over like 'What the fuck is this?' And Clapton was maybe five feet in front of us, and Buck gets up there, and Clapton does this solo, and Buck played it on the organ and he bumps it up a notch. And Clapton plays what Buck has just played, and he bumps it up a notch. And they're getting into this furious cutting contest, and Clapton hasn't even turned around at this point. And all of a sudden four thousand people are screaming, and Eric just stops playing, and he puts his hand out to Buck and he says, 'I'm Eric Clapton, who are you?' It was just one of those kind of moments."
From that point on, the barriers that most zydeco bands are still trying to break through began to tumble like dominoes before Buckwheat Zydeco.
ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS [the band's new record at the time] received enthusiatic reviews in Rolling Stone and The New York Times ranked it one of the year's top albums. As the night was closing for the New York release party at S.O.B.'s, Clapton walked in with his guitar, and the band kept playing. "The next thing I knew, I was touring with Eric Clapton in the US." says Dural. "The next thing I knew again, I had an invitation to tour with him in England. Twelve nights at the Albert Hall."



from CMJ New Music Report
When Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural urges us to "c'mon down to creole country" in the opening refrains of his latest record, the call is so inviting your lips quiver with the anticipation of tasting cayenne-soaked crawfish and all else that goes along with "passing" a good time in Louisiana. Buckwheat Zydeco has been one of the leading proponents of the jumpy and friendly zydeco sound (which has gotten healthy boosts recently from the cajun cooking craze-you can now buy microwaveable crawfish etouffe in your grocer's freezer!-and the more recent success of the film and soundtrack to The Big Easy) characterized by percussive rubboard rhythms and joyous accordion. Buckwheat's zydeco features a solid, shufflin' r & b backbeat, gets some added chug from a punchy horn section, and benefits from the warmth of a woman's touch from background singers Allison Young and Lisa Mednick (of an up-and-coming New Orleans band, the Song Dogs). On Taking It Home Buckwheat stays close to his roots while pumping in enough pop juice to appeal to folks well beyond the reaches of creole country. Radio programmers should find plenty to say "otay" to here, especially "Make A Change," "In And Out Of My Life," "Creole Country" and "Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad" (with Eric Clapton's signature lead guitar). As they say down that way, Le Bon Temps Roulet!

All-Music Guide
On his second album for Island Records, Buckwheat Zydeco continues to mix things up, adding some rock and pop covers to his trademark zydeco gumbo. Like its predecessor, On A Night Like This, the results on Taking It Home are a little mixed -- the production is a little slick, covers like Derek & the Dominos' "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad" (featurin none other than Eric Clapton on guitar) are ill-advised, and there simply isn't the fire that distinguished his independent work. That said, no Buckwheat Zydeco album is a complete waste, and hearing him run through gritty, funky originals like "These Things You Do" and "Down Dallas Alley" makes Taking It Home worthwhile for long-term fans.

So successful was Eric Clapton's CROSSROADS box set (as were, no doubt, the numerous high-quality live bootlegs that have surfaced on CD in recent years) that Atlas-Polydor has issued CROSSROADS 2: Live In The Seventies. The live fruits of Clapton's most fertile period are a delight for the fan. Stay tuned for Crossroads 4: The Mid-'80s, with an unreleased remix of the Miller Beer Commercial.

CDNow


CROSSROADS is a 25th Anniversary retrospective of Eric Clapton's career, spanning 1963-1987. The boxed set contains 6 LPs on 4 CDs, individually packaged in a 12" x 12" box with original cover art by Ron Wood. It includes a 32 page book with photos from throughout Clapton's career and a 6,000 word history of Clapton. All of the set's 73 songs have been digitally remastered for this release; in most cases, the source material was the original master tapes or original multi-tracks. All of the set's Derek And The Dominoes material is previously unreleased. In November 1990, CROSSROADS became the first CD box set to be certified platinum.
The release of the 4-CD box set CROSSROADS is the perfect package to commemorate Eric Clapton's first 25 years of making music. Starting out as a blues purist with the like-minded Yardbirds, Clapton left after the band moved in a decidedly more pop direction. He began an apprenticeship under John Mayall. Encouraged to indulge in his love for the songs of Freddie King ("Hideaway") and Robert Johnson ("Ramblin' On My Mind") among others, Clapton metamorphosed into a guitar god after forming Cream with two of Mayall's sidemen, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. These three virtuosos set the bar for the classic power trio line-up and in the process redefined rock music and introduced unprecedented levels of improvisational freedom within songs such as "Crossroads." Post-Cream, Clapton took his godhead status into the supergroup Blind Faith before becoming a sideman with Delaney & Bonnie ("Comin' Home"). Using their back-up band on his solo debut led to the formation of Derek & The Dominos. This unit's synergy allowed Clapton to unleash all his accumulated creative might amidst the throes of personal unrest yielding the epic "Layla." Later, Clapton reinvented himself as a mellow singer-songwriter. CROSSROADS covers all this history


All-Music Guide
A four-disc box set spanning Eric Clapton's entire career -- running from the Yardbirds to his '80s solo recordings -- Crossroads not only revitalized Clapton's commerical standing, but it established the rock & roll multi-disc box set retrospective as a commercially viable proposition. Bob Dylan' Biograph was successful two years before the release of Crossroads, but Clapton's set was a bonafide blockbuster. And it's easy to see why. Crossroads manages to sum up Clapton's career succinctly and thoroughly, touching upon all of his hits and adding a bevy of first-rate unreleased material (most notably selections from the scrapped second Derek & the Dominos album).
Although not all of his greatest performances are included on the set -- none of his work as a session musician or guest artist is included, for instance -- every truly essential item he recorded is present on these four discs. No other Clapton album accurately explains why the guitarist was so influential, or demonstrates exactly what he accomplished.

Carole King is the very talented singer/songwriter who, with her (now) ex-husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote many early '60s hits such as 'Locomotion' (under the name Little Eva) and 'Up On The Roof'. Also achieved the high point of her commercial (and artistic) success with the 1971 release of her second album TAPESTRY with the songs 'So Far Away', 'It's Too Late', 'Will You Love Me Tommorow?', 'I Feel The Earth Move' and '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman'.
Carole King joined Eric Clapton in concert early the following year on 28 January at the Royal Albert Hall (BIG BAND) singing 'After Midnight' and 'Can't Find My Way Home'. - JCH
