Reviews
CD Now
UNPLUGGED won 1993 Grammy Awards for Album Of
The Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Male
Rock Vocal Performance. "Tears In Heaven" won the
Grammy for Song Of The Year, and "Layla" was named Best
Rock Song.
Eric Clapton's live performance on MTV's
strip-down-the-rockers show allowed the
heavily-blues-influenced guitarist a chance to show off
another, underrated side of his talent--his voice.
It's especially interesting to hear Clapton in an acoustic
setting, because he made his mark as one of the early
proponents of high-decibel rock. Here, sorting through
numerous blues standards by the likes of Robert Johnson and
Leadbelly, Clapton gives a lesson in technique, style and
musical passion. His own, newer material allows him to
stretch and play, while the heavily-grooved, slowed-down
remake of his classic "Layla" is the essential standout. "Tears
In Heaven," a moving tribute to his son's passing, is
emotionally raw, yet stylistically smooth--a difficult task to
achieve.
Stripping down the music of an artist as technically proficient
and historically based as Eric Clapton was a stroke of genius.
Hence, it's no surprise that the result, UNPLUGGED, is
brilliant as well.
