Review
CD Now
After releasing ANOTHER TICKET and scoring a top 10 hit
with "I Can't Stand It," Clapton switched labels and released
MONEY AND CIGARETTES. This time out, Clapton's
back-up band included Ry Cooder, Brit country-picker
Albert Lee and Duck Dunn of Booker T. & The MGs.
Continuing the trend of his last album, Clapton wrote most of
the songs with the exception of a few covers. Blues images
Sleepy John Estes ("Everybody Oughta Make A Change")
and R.G. Ford ("Crosscut Saw") get their due, as does early
rock'n'roll pioneer Johnny Otis ("Crazy Country Hop"),
whose "Willie & The Hand Jive" Clapton had previously
covered.
With two technically skilled guitarists like Cooder and Lee to
keep him on his toes, Clapton flexes his fretwork considerably
more than he had during his mellower '70s singer-songwriter
phase. Some of E.C's more nimble-fingered exchanges come
on "The Shape You're In" along with "Ain't Going Down," a
number that's a barely concealed reworking of "All Along
The Watchtower."
